    Nice powder

    I was apprehensive about the shade match the website recommended but it was perfect. Easy to apply, very fine powder, nice dispensable container.

    Natural look yet perfect coverage

    I absolutely love the original bare minerals loose powder! It gives a natural shine and shimmer and covers up lines, and acts as a good concealer under my eyes. I don’t have blemishes or oily skin so I don’t need much make up nor do I like wearing too much. This is perfect for me and protects my skin from the sun just enough as I’m outside or driving a lot! Even works great at the gym when you want to look decent no matter where you are quick fast and in the go!

Mineral Powder Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes bareMinerals’ Loose Powder Foundation the Best Hypoallergenic Foundation?

bareMinerals’ Original Loose Powder Foundation is the best hypoallergenic foundation due to its ingredient
list. Made with just 5 clean ingredients, it’s a talc-free foundation that won’t irritate skin, clog pores, or cause
breakouts. It’s formulated without parabens, formaldehyde, gluten, synthetic fragrance, PEGs, and more.

What Are the Benefits Of Mineral Foundation With SPF?

The benefits of mineral foundation with SPF include an extra layer of sun protection throughout the day with non-irritating titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Instead of chemical sunscreens that can cause burning and redness, we
relied on the power of minerals to provide both sun protection and buildable coverage in our foundation.

What Makes bareMinerals’ Foundation a Clean Foundation?

We restrict over 2,500 ingredients, including the 1,400+ banned in the E.U. These high standards are what ensure
our products are clean and safe for all skin types. If you’ve been looking for a clean foundation, bareMinerals has
you covered.

Is bareMinerals Loose Powder Foundation Hypoallergenic?

Yes! The bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, vegan, cruelty-free, derm-tested and clean.

What Is The Best Brush to Use For Mineral Foundation?

We suggest using our Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush when applying our mineral foundation. Simply swirl a
small amount of the foundation in the cap with your brush, tap away the excess, and buff onto your skin using
circular motions. You can repeat this until you get the coverage you want.
