    My go-to foundation.

    I have been using the Bare Minerals loose powder foundation for many years now, usually on top of Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer. The powder gives me the matte finish I love for that natural look and a 15% boost to the UV protection (spf 30 from the Complexion Rescue moisturizer) that I need. My skin is sun-sensitive - meaning that I burn easily, and using the spf 30 moisturizer with the spf 15 foundation powder means that I can be in the sun every day WITHOUT the need for a sunscreen that inevitably caused an acne breakout!

    My favorite!

    I love bare minerals matte powder. It’s the only brand I’ve used in the last 15 years. It’s worked beautifully as my skin has aged and the color is amazingly natural and the finish is smooth. My skin looks healthy and not too made up. It stays on all day, even when my skin was more oily than it is now.

    Best Clean Foundation

    This is my go to foundation. I love the natural look not blends so well into my skin. I never have a breakout from makeup.
