    Perfect Matte Powder

    The Bare Minerals Medium Beige 12 matte powder is the perfect solution to cover my red complexion. I actually get compliments on my complexion and that would not be the case without the use of this matte powder. It's not cheap so I've tried cheaper brands in the past and always come back to this powder.

    Light

    It’s a very light and airy foundation. It doesn’t weigh down skin like a liquid does. Using a liquid makes it suck right into the pores and eventually it doesn’t even look like it’s there.

    great product

    I've been using this powder foundation for over 15 years. I have oily skin, and this foundation doesn't cause me to break out, and it helps control my shine.

    My go-to foundation.

    I have been using the Bare Minerals loose powder foundation for many years now, usually on top of Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer. The powder gives me the matte finish I love for that natural look and a 15% boost to the UV protection (spf 30 from the Complexion Rescue moisturizer) that I need. My skin is sun-sensitive - meaning that I burn easily, and using the spf 30 moisturizer with the spf 15 foundation powder means that I can be in the sun every day WITHOUT the need for a sunscreen that inevitably caused an acne breakout!
