Just found out I am allergic to Cl+ Me- Isothiazolinone [aka Methylchoroisothiazolinone (MCI), Methylisothiazolinone (MI), Kathon, 5-Choro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, and 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one]. Does this makeup contain this ingredient?
Hi TJ1201, Please note that we list full ingredients for every shade in this foundation on our website for your reference (see the "Ingredients" tab)- just be sure to look to search based on the shade you're interested in! We hope this helps.Date published: 2019-10-28Hi. I would like to try the liquid foundation. The powder I have has R570 at the base. Which shade should I get in the liquid please?
Hi Ty66, We think you'll really like using this handy tool to best identify your perfect shade match across our multiple foundation lines: https://www.bareminerals.com/shade-finder/Date published: 2019-10-28Hello! I'm using fairly medium powder...what would be the liquid equivalent??

Hi ARitts, We would suggest you try our barePRO Performance Wear Liquid Foundation in shade Shell.Date published: 2019-10-22I’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.
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!Date published: 2019-10-16Hey 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?
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!Date published: 2019-10-03Have been using bareMinerals ORIGINAL foundation in LIGHT W15. Did not see as an option to repurchase, what color is comparable? Thanks

Thank You,Date published: 2019-09-23If I use the barepro in the shade honeycomb (shade discontinued), what shade should I use in the original bare minerals?
Hi SSssPpLl, Our Honeycomb 20 was replaced in our barePRO line by the shade Toffee. For our ORIGINAL Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15, we would recommend Tan Nude 17, for medium to tan skin with warm undertone.Date published: 2019-09-23I have just started wearing bareMinerals. I purchased Medium Beige 12. It is a little too light for my skin. It will be perfect in the winter when my skin is paler. What shade is a little darker?

Hi JVBe, We simplified the shade names of Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 to be more globally relevant with a numbering system in which 1 is the lightest and 30 is the darkest.

Hi xwcmc, If you're wearing Matte Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in Neutral Medium 15 or barePRO Performance Wear Pressed Powder Foundation in Sandalwood 15, then you'll be shade Neutral Medium 15 in Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15.Date published: 2019-07-03Hi 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!
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!Date published: 2019-07-02What concealers works best with this foundation (I wear golden ivory)? I want to use a concealer for under eyes and occasional blemishes.

Hi SUKL, We think you'll really like using this handy tool to best identify your perfect shade match across our multiple foundation lines: https://www.bareminerals.com/shade-finder/Date published: 2019-06-28Hi 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?
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.Date published: 2019-06-26In the bareMinerals Original powder, is there a difference between medium beige N20 and medium beige 12?
Hi CMGrace, bareMinerals 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 so your current shade in Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 is Medium Beige 12!Date published: 2019-06-25What brush should I use with this loose powder?
