    I like this loose powder foundation for using as concealer

    I don't like to use a lot of makeup. in fact I barely use any. but I do need concealer for when my face breaks out

    I'm using a very, very tiny paintbrush kind of brush to tap on a little of this foundation and it works beautifully and melts right in without clogging any pores etc.

    the only reason I took away a star is I had one heck of a time trying to open it. I think products should be a little simpler to open. this was extremely annoying. I can't imagine senior citizens with arthritis or bad eyesight trying to open this for the first time. The packaging should be redesigned.

    Best foundation ever

    I am a recent convert to primer and this powder foundation. I no longer use foundation liquids as they are too heavy. This combination is perfect for an older skin, it doesn’t settle into wrinkles but gives a gentle glow.

Mineral Powder Foundation FAQs 

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.
