1.0 out of 5 stars Matte Finish is not at good as original ID, September 11, 2010

I have used Bare Escentuals foundation for 10 years. I needed to restock and inadvertently bought the matte finish instead of the ID. The matte foundation is terrible - the color that I use (Medium Beige) is darker and looks like it is caked on. Every fine facial line is visible. I love the original but would highly recommend you try the matte finish in the store before buying.

This review is from: Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals MATTE SPF 15 Foundation (Fairly Light) (Misc.)

After being so disappointed with the shiny, whitish finish I got from the Original foundation in Fairly Light, I wasn't sure if Bare Minerals would work for me. I'm so glad I gave the Matte a try. The coverage is good, it doesn't emphasize my pores, and it doesn't make my fine lines appear deeper like the Original did. After wearing Bare Minerals for a few weeks, I started to notice fewer breakouts and I'm very happy about that. I think to get that nice flawless effect you also need to get the Mineral Veil to go over this foundation. It diffuses light and makes the foundation stay put better. I don't think I'll ever go back to liquid foundations.

Hello Everyone!!!

I regret not knowing about this product sooner. I mean, over the years I've seen the informercials, but I've been skeptical. Much to my advantage, I have an ULTA store like, literally DOWN THE STREET from my home, and I go there a lot, and realised that they carry BareMinerals. I decided to let the nice young lady try a few on me, and the Golden Medium one is the one that I see most fit. I am a mixed color girl with a very 'yellow' undertone, and for years I have been looking for a makeup that is yellow. Everything is either too pink, too brown, or too red for me. But this is amazing. I wear it under Too Faced Primed and Poreless face primer, and it makes me look like a porcelain doll without looking like I'm wearing too much makeup. It is kinda pricey, ($27.00 for a TINY tub) but it's so totally worth it. I will never go back to store brand makeup again!!!!!
