Our team suggests:

SWIRL, TAP, BUFF® Our signature application method will give you buildable, seamless, natural-looking coverage! We recommend applying with our [https://www.bareminerals.com/makeup/makeup-brushes/face-brushes/beautiful-finish-foundation-brush/US77069.html Beautiful Finish Brush], which deposits the ideal amount of minerals and fits perfectly into the cap. Step 1: SWIRL a small amount of foundation in the cap until it disappears into the brush. Step 2: TAP away any excess. Step 3: BUFF onto your skin in circular motions. This activates the minerals and transforms them from a powder to a silky cream. Repeat until you’ve achieved the coverage you want, from sheer to full. Click, Lock, Go™ Sifter Instructions 1. FOR FIRST TIME USE: Remove the clear tab inside to toss away. (Sifter is now in open position.) 2. Dispense product inside lid and begin “Swirl, Tap, Buff®” application. 3. When finished, grab the outer ridges of the sifter and turn to the right until it clicks. (The click indicates the sifter is in closed position.)* 4. Close jar lid. 5. FOR CONTINUED USE: Open jar lid and turn the sifter to the left until it clicks into open position. *To stop the flow of product, always close the sifter prior to placing jar lid back on.

    I’ve been using Laura Mercier mineral powder in Rich Vanilla. It has now been discontinued. I would like to try Bare Minerals foundation powder. Can you tell me what color would be comparable? Thanks. 

    Asked by: Sinjin
    Hi Sinjin, It appears Rich Vanilla is best suited for light skin with warm undertones. Our ORIGINAL Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in shade Light 08 should therefore be a good match for you!

    Hey there!I am currently using your bare minerals original in medium beige and I love it but the problem is I don't like using powder products like blush and highlighter. Creamy ones are my favourite. How can I combine them with this foundation?

    Asked by: zhets0210
    Hi zhets0210, We love that idea and think adding our new Bounce & Blur blush on top is a great idea. You can add creamy blushes and highlighters on top of our powder foundation with ease, just use fingers for a seamless look!

    Hi BareMinerals Team,  I received this as a gift in shade medium 10, and normally purchase the shade vanilla in other foundation/tinted moisturizer products. Will this shade be too dark? Otherwise I’d love to give this to a friend. Thank you! 

    Asked by: Jen44
    Hi Jen44, Our Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in Medium 10 is best for medium skin with cool undertones. Your regular shade Vanilla 02 in Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream is best for fair skin with neutral undertones. We suggest maybe trying your gift foundation as your new summer shade and hope you like it as much as we do!

    Hi there! I saw a review about the color changing. I didn’t know this happened! Around when did it? I always used orig. medium beige 12 pdwr. and did notice a color change a few months ago too. What would I be now?

    Asked by: LJade
    Hi LJade, The Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 that you always loved is the same formula and hasn't changed but what did is that we simplified the name of your favorite foundation to be more globally relevant with a numbering system in which 1 is the lightest and 30 is the darkest. Shade names will still be available on packaging for your reference. You would still wear this in Medium Beige 12. The minerals in our Original Loose Powder foundation are derived from natural ingredients and as such, there can be variations from batch to batch. bareMinerals will continue to improve the standardization of this process which will eliminate these batch variations going forward.
