- Theresa C.Verified BuyerReviewingORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15I do not recommend this productSkin Type NormalSkin Tone MediumAge 51-60Rated 1 out of 5 stars3 days agoProduct 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.
bareMinerals3 minutes agoHi 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.

- Lauren C.Verified BuyerReviewingORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Fair Ivory 02Skin Type OilySkin Tone FairAge 31-40Rated 3 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoGood 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.
bareMinerals3 weeks agoHi 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.

I love the company and will continue to purchase from them. The color foundation that I purchased looks different on the website than what I received. It made me look yellowish. I will go back to my old color, just medium.
