This powder foundation is the best. Does not cake in wrinkles and unfortunately, I have some. Try it, you'll love it.Also get the foundation brush which applies it beautifully.

Excellent face powder. Goes on smoothly with great coverage.

Perfect fory skin! The color is just as I ordered and no breakouts.

I’ve been using this bareMinerals Original Powder Foundation for a while now, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. It gives a very natural finish—your skin still looks like skin, just more even and polished. What I like the most is how lightweight it feels. It doesn’t feel heavy or cakey at all, even after a few hours of wear. It’s perfect for everyday makeup, especially if you don’t like liquid foundations. Coverage is buildable. You can keep it light for a natural look or layer it a bit more in areas where you need extra coverage. It also blends really easily with a brush. One thing to keep in mind is that it can get a little messy when opening the jar (since it’s loose powder), so you have to be careful when using it. Also, if you have very dry skin, you might want to moisturize well before applying. Pros: • Very natural finish • Lightweight and breathable • Buildable coverage • Good for sensitive skin Cons: • Can be messy to use • May emphasize dryness if skin isn’t prepped well Overall, I really like this foundation and would definitely repurchase. It’s a great option if you want something quick, natural, and comfortable for daily use.

I'm early fifties, and this is the first time I've tried Bare Minerals foundation. I have a BM bronzer that I like well enough, but it just never occurred to me to try the powder foundation. I guess I thought it'd just be like putting powder on your face and I figured it'd just be blah. I've tried Laura Gellar and Neutrogena mineral foundations and hated them. Laura Gellar was insanely cakey and Neutrogena was just basically cheap powder (plus it's not cruelty free). All of my liquid foundations just sit like a mask on my skin now, no matter how much I blend. I hate them, and I hate how old they make me look. I decided to try this. OMG. My skin looks absolutely amazing and I'm not exaggerating when I say it took a decade off my face. And it looks BETTER as the day goes on!! HOW!?! I have no idea how it provides such a radiant, translucent, yet effective glowy coverage. It's not matte, it's not shiny, it's just like perfect skin! My SUN SPOT on my cheek that I have to spackle with concealer pretty much buffed out under this stuff. And you can build it on one part of your face without it looking uneven on another part. I put cream blush over it and I'm telling you, it is flawless. It is absolutely AMAZING. I just bought a light color to put on areas where I'd like a lighter tone (eyes & under eyes, nasolabial folds, 11s, around lips, etc). I ended up throwing away a whole bunch of makeup and will just be using BM from now on. THANK YOU Bare Minerals!! Can't wait to try the eyeshadow and blushes!

I have always loved using bareMinerals. It's very great product very good coverage easy to apply with the right brush. The texture is wonderful.

As someone who values both makeup performance and skin health, the bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 feels less like traditional makeup and more like a skincare product with cosmetic benefits. Here’s why: Texture and Application The first thing you’ll notice is the velvety, lightweight texture of this powder. Unlike most loose powders that can feel chalky or heavy, this formula is almost cloud-like. When buffed onto the skin with the signature Swirl, Tap, Buff technique, it blends seamlessly, leaving a natural finish that mimics skin rather than masking it. Pro Tip: Pair it with a hydrating primer or facial mist to amplify its blendability, especially if you have dry patches. The powder’s mineral base plays well with added hydration, creating a smooth, glowing effect that feels fresh all day. Buildable Coverage Without the Cakiness One of the standout features is its buildability. You can start with sheer coverage for a "no-makeup" look or layer it up for medium-to-full coverage without ever feeling like you're wearing too much. It’s a game-changer for those with combination skin, as it blurs imperfections while still allowing your natural skin texture to shine through. Hidden Talent: While marketed as a foundation, this product works beautifully as a finishing powder over liquid or cream foundation for added coverage and a soft-focus effect. Skin Benefits Beyond Makeup This foundation does more than just enhance—it protects and nourishes. With SPF 15, it offers a gentle layer of sun protection for daily wear. What’s even more impressive is the talc-free, vegan formulation that minimizes the risk of clogging pores or irritating sensitive skin. Over time, I noticed fewer breakouts compared to using traditional liquid foundations. Science in Action: The clean mineral formula also contains mica, which subtly reflects light and creates a luminous finish, ideal for dull or mature skin. Shade Range and Customization bareMinerals offers a wide range of shades, and because the product is so forgiving, you won’t experience a jarring mismatch if you’re between shades. Plus, mixing two shades to create your perfect tone is easy thanks to the loose powder format. Eco-Friendly Appeal: The minimalistic jar packaging is recyclable, and since a little product goes a long way, one jar can last months, reducing waste. Who Is This For? Makeup Beginners: The foolproof application method makes it a great starter product. Skincare Enthusiasts: Its clean, non-comedogenic ingredients are perfect for those who prioritize skin health. Busy Professionals: The long-lasting formula means fewer touch-ups, making it ideal for on-the-go lifestyles. Final Thoughts bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 is more than a foundation—it’s a multitasking marvel that combines skincare, sun protection, and customizable coverage in one product. Whether you’re after a polished look for work, a glowy finish for an event, or a breathable base for everyday wear, this foundation delivers every time. Rating: 4.5 It loses half a point only because of its potential messiness during application (loose powders can be tricky to travel with), but the performance more than makes up for it.

goes on smooth, blends in nicely.
