    Price is out of control

    I used to pay $35 for multiple months' worth. Now it's just one. Will have to find an alternative.

    Hi Laurie,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we completely understand your concern about the pricing changes.

    We truly appreciate that you've been a longtime user of our ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation, and we're sorry to hear that the current pricing has made it difficult for you to continue with the product you've relied on.

    New and improved

    I have used this foundation for years and absolutely love it! I love how it stays on all day and gives me a natural look without it looking like I'm wearing foundation. 10/10 recommend.

    Continues to be a favorite

    I've been using Bare Minerals since I was in my twenties and the product still doesn't let me down. I prefer a more natural look, something that is easy to apply and doesn't make me feel like I'm wearing a mask. After all these years, this foundation continues to meet all of my expectations.

    This has always been my favorite.

    Fell in love with this years ago and have never looked for another foundation since.
