I had tried a sample of this from Sephora in Medium tan and I loved the feel of it but the color was a bit too pinky or something so I decided to buy the full size in Golden Medium. When I got...

I was a loyal BE devotee for more than three years and the only things I wished were different were the packaging and that the foundation were matte. This new matte formula foundation is exactly...

I like this much better than the original. This is a nice clean finish and stays matte. The original was too shiny and greasy looking that by lunchtime I needed blotting papers. This matte is...

In general I like the Bare Escentuals line of cosmetics, except for the packaging. I bought the Matte foundation as soon as it came out. I am fair, but thought the fair foundation was too chalky,...

I have been using the original BE foundation for a couple of years and I love it, but was intrigued when I saw the matte formula come out as I do have an oily t-zone and the original can accentuate...

Like others, I like this much more than the original bare minerals foundation. Great coverage, very buildable, and lasts forever. It's also one of the few mineral foundations that matches my skin...

I love this foundation, my skin loves it too. It does not feel like you’re wearing makeup when you have this on. There is a reason this product is the best selling mineral makeup. If you read the...

For as much as I liked the original foundation, BE Matte is that much more fantastic. I noticed that it doesn't settle into my lines as the original did. I'm way less oily as well. A very...

I am so much happier with the twist open cap. No more spills! It's still a messy makeup to apply, but at least it's not spilling all over my makeup drawer. I used to mix fairly light and...

I had such high hopes for this product. I have extremely oily skin. Any time I have a breakout, I'm left with brownish-red spots that I need to cover. The BE original formula does nothing to...
