    Bare Minerals, Original Matte, Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Spectrum

    I’ve used Bare Minerals products for approximately 20 years. I love how it makes my skin feel. My dermatologist told me that Bare Minerals is the best make up on the market!

    Basic Breathable Bare

    I started using Bare Minerals Loose Mineral Powder maybe 14 years ago. I needed something Basic to add a flawless finish to my make-up routine. Due to having naturally oily skin, traditional liquid foundation was proven not to be an effective solution. The first attraction to the loose powder was the cute round container and the controllable dispensing method. Additionally, I was fond of the sound that tapping the brush against the edge or the the black top makes which ensures even distribution on your face. Breathability, is a must as liquid foundation had a feel of smothering and clogging my pores. I have found the loose powder to be light and breathable because I control how lightly or heavily daily coverage becomes. The loose powder blends so well with my skin tone that it appears to be Bare-ly there. As a woman of color, I must admit that the blend was a concern during my initial order. My family and friends immediately recognized a change in the appearance of my foundation and specifically asked, "What kind of foundation are you wearing?" My skin is thanking me, as I experience less breakouts due to the lack of oil in the foundation base. As previously stated, I create enough oil on my own. Thank you Bare Minerals for creating a quality product that has literally changed my appearance and skin for the better.
