I have been a BE user for 12 years. I am a huge advocate of BE and proudly wear the product. The MATTE foundation is my favorite so far. You get shine-free coverage all day. If you want a luminous look, go for the original. The key to using the foundation is their motto: SWIRL, TAP, BUFF. You don't need a lot of product. Put a small about of product in the lid, swirl your brush to capture the minerals (the cap has something in it that helps with warming the minerals), tap the excess and make sure that there is no visual minerals on the tip of the brush. All the goodness is in the brush! Buff! Start on the outside of your face and work in. You will want to continue to buff for two 'Happy Birthday's.' That is the best way to describe how much time you should invest in getting the right coverage. If you want more coverage, you can buff again. The key is layering and buffing-depending on how much coverage you want. If you have ever had any issues in finding the right shade you should try BE. There are 20 shades!

My favorite foundation!! Gives good coverage and works great on oily skin! Goes on evenly and feels very light! Only downfall is that you lose half the powder each time you try to put it on. It can be very messy!

Have beeb using this foundation for yearssss! Gives good coverage, is light and natural looking, and keeps my shine and oil at bay. Great shade offerings and super easy to apply with a brush. The coverage is definitely not seemingly as full as a liquid foundation, but this looks more natural and nerve cakes up, which a liquid sometimes can.

I e been using this for about 4 years now. It gives you great coverage, looks natural and lasts longer than liquid. My recommendation would be to go to Ulta, Sephora or a Bare Minerals store and have them do a test on you to find the perfect shade

Natural feel when wearing this foundation , I love that is doesn't clog my pores! Thank you bare minerals!

I love bareMinerals products I have been using all of them for years.. I love the mascara, eye shadow, the matte, and the mineral veils.. I started using them in highschool and then in college after letting my friends try my stuff they all got turned on to it as well

My favorite make up product. Been using for 10 plus years.

Oily skin to Dry Skin My whole life I've had excessively oily skin until this week. I started a regimen of isotretinoin (high dose of Vitamin A) to clear up acne. It works to eliminate oil production. Therefore, I had to stop using all of my anti-oil, anti-acne products and begin using mineral makeup. This mineral foundation is amazing! It has great coverage especially paired with BareEscentuals concealer. It keeps my face matte and gives my skin a nice even tone. I highly recommend this for all skin types!

flawless Bare Minerals in my opinon is the best make up to get, the downfall is that it pricy! It keeps ur skin beauitful and it isnt as oily or dry. this foundation leaves you lookin flawless, literaly..

incredible but pricey Phenomenal powder! Watch tutorial on how to apply it properly, because applying it the right way changes this powder from ordinary to a must have. Great coverage, blends/buffs really well, has great staying power, and when I used this make up I had absolutely no break outs! It is kind of expensive for only a little bit of powder though.

Love it! Bareminerals original foundation continues to be the only foundation that my sensitive, acne-prone skin can handle. It covers all redness, doesn't look cakey, AND includes SPF 30. As someone who had skin cancer on my forehead in my younger years, SPF is very important to me. Great product!

The best and easiest foundation I have ever used!

OMG this is the best mineral foundation I have tried and it's so much better than the original (for me). I have sensitive oily skin and this formula makes my face more matte and doesn't break me out and make my face itch!

I think that BareMinerals products are fantastic...It is wonderful. Almost all makeup makes me break out with little tiny bumps on my face. Not Bare Minerals. You do need to cover spots with another product that Bare Minerals makes. Then you use a little bit of this foundation, and buff it gently into skin. I use tan all year long which is a shade darker than my skin. It is perfect every day for me. Nice to get a little natural sun protection, as I am allergic to all creams that contain SPF. I like the original better than the matte, but I use both. I probably will never use anything else. It lasts forever which makes it a fantastic value!

I love this product!! It is great for your skin. I got less breakouts and really made my pores smaller from my skin actually being able to breathe. It is a little expensive but there are more foundation that are a lot more expensive. I have more olive tone to my skin and was able to get a match because cheap foundations all look orange on my skin. I love that you can make it as sheer or full coverage as you want. If skepitical try the starter kit!
