    too matte for my extremely oily skin & a bit too dark too. reminds of just overly matte bronzer. I purchased this when it first came out & it was almost $30, way too much for something that turns...

    In my other review, I raved about the BareMinerals SPF 15 powder foundation and how it is the only foundation I will ever use. For some reason, my dumb-a accidentally bought this one when I needed...

    I tried the original Bare Minerals foundation and it was too shiny for my oily skin, so I thought the matte version would work better. When I first put it on, it looked nice and my face was matte,...

    I like the twist cap so that powder doesn't get all over the place. I like that it is matte and it does help a little with the shine on my forehead and nose. It does accentuate imperfections on...

    As a stand-alone foundation, this is just okay. If you build it up, it will accentuate lines. That's just what powders do. HOWEVER, over a sheer liquid or tinted-moisturizer, this goes from meh to...

    I used Bare Escentuals products for years and was very satisfied. About a year ago I decided I wanted something different that gave me a little more "coverage". I was given some Bare Escentuals...

    I wandered into our new BE shop, and asked to try the matte foundation (I've used the original before with no problems), as I tend to be pretty shiny. It looked just fine, but as soon as I walked...

    I really don't know what to think of mineral makeup anymore after this experience. I'm typically combination skin (oily T-zone, dry elsewhere), yet this matte formula was so drying. It actually...

    I have been using this foundation for a couple of months now. I prefer powders over liquids because they feel less heavy on the face. I tend to rely on MAC studio fix powder as my go-to foundation...

    Okay, so I love this formula but, there are some cons to it. First, the Original formula is 9g, the Matte formula is only 6g and is $4 more. Other than that I really love the formula but, I wish...
