bareMinerals Escentuals Original Foundation Spf 15

I have used BareMinerals foundation since Leslie Blodgett introduced it on middle-of-the-night TV advertising in the mid-nineties. When it hit big, other MAJOR cosmetic companies introduced their own "mineral" makeup, so I tried 2 of those for convenience sake. Only once. They couldn't compare, felt grainy, sat on skin surface, and would not blend. So, for nearly 30 years, at 74 yo, it takes me 7 min to apply my makeup, which is such an ingenious combination of earth's minerals that are actually so good for your skin that you can sleep in this, and improve your skin! For nearly 30 years I have enjoyed compliments like "you can't be that old, you don't have any wrinkles!" or "you look amazing, it must take you hours to get ready in the morning'" or the best one: "your skin is so smooth, you don't look like you have makeup on!" I hope Bare Minerals never goes off the market!

I have a hard time still finding this product in stores, so I was thrilled to find it on Amazon!

I always purchase bare minerals from Sephora. I tried amazon because it cost less and i wanted it fast. I read the reviews and i saw some people said they recieved a sample size. I was skeptical but i got a full size same great quality I get in store. Will purchase again

I feel like it’s not exactly the same as the powder foundation I buy in the ulta store, but it’s really really close. Works well.

Love it. Does take much to blend away discoloration. Looks like you're not wearing anything. Great for what I'm looking for.

Great match & texture!

I was surprised that the container was so small.

I'm very fair-skin Asian and it's hard to find a product line that doesn't clog my pores and make me break out. I've always loved the Bare Minerals product line. I've tried everything from Lancome, Clinique, various Korean, Chinese, and Japanese product lines. But I returned to Bare Minerals Golden Medium Original Foundation and have been using it for 10+ years. I use lots of Asian oil blotting paper every day (even now as I am in my mid-30's), the Neutrogena oil-blotting paper line just doesn't cut it. So when I discovered the new Bare Minerals Matte Line I was very excited.I went to the Bare Escentuals website and based on their picture of an Asian woman I thought I was Golden Tan. Spent $30 to discover that the shade made me look like I was sunburned to a crisp. I kept it because it works great for shadow affects on the cheeks to make my face look slimmer.So I spent another $30 and bought Golden Medium, my original shade. This shade was too dark as well. I couldn't understand why Golden Medium Matte is DARKER than Golden Medium Original Foundation. It gave me this unnatural brownish tinge to my skin.I tried to make the Golden Medium Matte lighter by mixing it with Bisque (from their Multi-Tasking Line). It made it a little better but I had to use A LOT of Bisque to quiet down the brownish tinge affect. I don't understand why they would change the shades for Matte.So now I'm back at Amazon and hopefully 3rd time is the charm and I'm going to try Light Matte Foundation. But this has become a costly and expensive process. If you have light Asian skin tone like me, beware, the shades are not what you think. Might have been better if I went into Sephora to test-try it before buying. Of course hind-sight is always 20/20. I wish Bare Escentuals mentioned the shades for the Matte Foundation line and the Original Foundation line are different.As for the Matte affect, I still have to use oil blotting papers, just not as many.

Lo compré directamente a Amazon Mexico, el envío como siempre excelente sin embargo no estoy 100% de que este sea un producto original.La cobertura es prácticamente inexistente, deja una textura bastante mate, cero luminosa, el empaque llegó parcialmente roto en la parte de abajo. No se si cambiaron la formulación o este producto no es original.

Muy buen precio, ya lo conocía

used this foundation for a few years never clogs never cakes stays put even in uk hot weather

Would be fine for summer when you already have a bit of a tan or ok over liquid foundation just to set it, but didn't find the coverage adequate enough on its own.

Golden in colour blends in lovely looks great
