    Great Makeup

    I have worn Bare Minerals since it came out. The only place you could buy it was on HSN.

    I've tried other makeup and always come back to Bare Minerals. When you find the best, leave the rest behind.

    Thank you! Bare Minerals!

    Still the best

    I have been wearing the powder foundation for over 25 years and my husband still loves it (and me!) because it doesn't look like I'm wearing makeup. The liquids and creams all have an artificial look no matter how I try to blend them on my skin. I've also used Skinlongevity serum for years which has kept my skin looking good.

    Product has changed

    I have been wearing Bare Minerals, the same shade, for over 15 years. But my last 2 purchases (one was a replacement) have not been the same. The shade is lighter and quality is poor, the powder does not stay on. Unfortunately I will not be buying this product again.

    Hi Theresa,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with your recent purchases of the ORIGINAL MATTE foundation.

    As a loyal customer of 15 years, your concerns about the shade appearing lighter and the quality not meeting your expectations are particularly important to us. We understand how frustrating it must be when a product you've trusted and loved for so long doesn't perform the way it used to.

    Your feedback about the powder's staying power and overall quality helps us understand what's most important to our long-time customers. We know how much it means when you find a foundation that works perfectly with your skin, and we're disappointed that your recent experience hasn't lived up to those standards.

    We truly value the loyalty you've shown over the years and appreciate you taking the time to let us know about these changes you've noticed.

    Warm regards,

    bareMinerals

    Good coverage, bad packaging

    I like the product. It covers fairly well, and has buildable coverage. I hate the packaging. It is hard to dispense enough product without wasting it. And the brush wastes a lot of product - lots of fallout on my clothing and counter. If this was a pressed powder, I’d buy it again. But I won’t purchase this loose formulation again.

    Hi Lauren,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15. We're glad to hear that you're happy with the coverage and that you find it buildable for your needs.

    However, we're sorry to hear about the frustrations you've experienced with the packaging and dispensing system. We understand how disappointing it can be when product gets wasted during application, and we know the fallout issue can be particularly frustrating when it gets on your clothing and counter. Your feedback about the brush creating excess fallout is really valuable to us as we work to understand how our application tools perform for different users.

    We also appreciate you letting us know about the dispensing challenges with the loose powder format. Just so you know, we recently introduced this formula as a pressed powder which you can find here: https://www.bareminerals.com/products/original-pressed-powder-foundation-spf-15?variant=41144801493077

    Thank you for being a bareMinerals customer and for sharing your honest experience with us. Feedback like yours helps us understand both what's working well with our formulations and where we can improve the user experience with our packaging and application tools.
