- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024Color: 01 FairSize: 0.28 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI've been using bareMinerals powder foundation for close to a decade. I have very sensitive skin and have fluctuated between mild and moderate/severe acne so love how light and breathable it feels (never heavy or caked), but provides good coverage over my concealer for an even skintone for most of the day. I do sometimes need to reapply for the evening if I'm getting more dressed up, but prefer the how light it is for everyday, and this lasts me close to a year with daily application. I also appreciate that they have different color tones as I am very fair skinned but with pink tones and most brands have very yellow undertones for their lightest colors. I've used both the original and matte finishes but have not noticed a significant enough difference to have a strong preference between the two. I don't anticipate switching foundations until they discontinue this one.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2025Color: 12 Medium BeigeSize: 0.28 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseAs someone who values both makeup performance and skin health, the bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 feels less like traditional makeup and more like a skincare product with cosmetic benefits. Here’s why:
Texture and Application
The first thing you’ll notice is the velvety, lightweight texture of this powder. Unlike most loose powders that can feel chalky or heavy, this formula is almost cloud-like. When buffed onto the skin with the signature Swirl, Tap, Buff technique, it blends seamlessly, leaving a natural finish that mimics skin rather than masking it.
Pro Tip: Pair it with a hydrating primer or facial mist to amplify its blendability, especially if you have dry patches. The powder’s mineral base plays well with added hydration, creating a smooth, glowing effect that feels fresh all day.
Buildable Coverage Without the Cakiness
One of the standout features is its buildability. You can start with sheer coverage for a "no-makeup" look or layer it up for medium-to-full coverage without ever feeling like you're wearing too much. It’s a game-changer for those with combination skin, as it blurs imperfections while still allowing your natural skin texture to shine through.
Hidden Talent: While marketed as a foundation, this product works beautifully as a finishing powder over liquid or cream foundation for added coverage and a soft-focus effect.
Skin Benefits Beyond Makeup
This foundation does more than just enhance—it protects and nourishes. With SPF 15, it offers a gentle layer of sun protection for daily wear. What’s even more impressive is the talc-free, vegan formulation that minimizes the risk of clogging pores or irritating sensitive skin. Over time, I noticed fewer breakouts compared to using traditional liquid foundations.
Science in Action: The clean mineral formula also contains mica, which subtly reflects light and creates a luminous finish, ideal for dull or mature skin.
Shade Range and Customization
bareMinerals offers a wide range of shades, and because the product is so forgiving, you won’t experience a jarring mismatch if you’re between shades. Plus, mixing two shades to create your perfect tone is easy thanks to the loose powder format.
Eco-Friendly Appeal: The minimalistic jar packaging is recyclable, and since a little product goes a long way, one jar can last months, reducing waste.
Who Is This For?
Makeup Beginners: The foolproof application method makes it a great starter product.
Skincare Enthusiasts: Its clean, non-comedogenic ingredients are perfect for those who prioritize skin health.
Busy Professionals: The long-lasting formula means fewer touch-ups, making it ideal for on-the-go lifestyles.
Final Thoughts
bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 is more than a foundation—it’s a multitasking marvel that combines skincare, sun protection, and customizable coverage in one product. Whether you’re after a polished look for work, a glowy finish for an event, or a breathable base for everyday wear, this foundation delivers every time.
Rating: 4.5
It loses half a point only because of its potential messiness during application (loose powders can be tricky to travel with), but the performance more than makes up for it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2025Color: 12 Medium BeigeSize: 0.28 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseMy go to product for warmer season. Not budget friendly, but great quality and lasts long. Very light, provides good coverage, matches my skin tone perfectly. The only thing you have to look up it's the number of the tone you need, they changed the numbers but tone/color of foundation stayed the same, I used to buy Medium beige N20, now it is called 12 Medium beige ,but it's still the same tone and matches my skin as it used to.

I remember when the QVC commercials for this came out in the 90s. I have always wanted to try this. I have a stainless steel makeup palette. I like to apply the powder on its surface and swirl the brush that way. Emptying it in the cap gets things dirty. I wish this was a larger container/amount. We shall see how long this lasts. As far as performance, this works so well and looks so pretty! This would be great all on its own or on top of liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer. Works best if you wait for your moisturizer/sun screen to absorb before applying the powder. The container is great for travel and I love how the inside mechanism locks in place to keep the powder contained. Wish more brands did this for their powders!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025Color: 12 Medium BeigeSize: 0.28 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseLast time I wore Bare Minerals I was in high school and I remember I didn’t like it. I don’t know if maybe I just didn’t know how to put make up on back then and I was just winging it or I was putting to much on but I remember it always looking very heavy and didn’t look good on my very oily skin. 14 years later I decided to give it another try because my mom wears it and it looks very natural on her. Let me just say WOW I can impressed. It looks so natural and doesn’t sit in my fine lines. As the day goes on my makeup actually looks better then when I first put it on in the day. The oil that does peep through looks natural and not greasy and heavy. I also finish off my makeup with the bare minerals setting powder which I feel makes a very big difference. It also feels like I’m not wearing any makeup which I love. I also like that apparently it’s supposed to help your skin improve over time.
This picture I am posting is after wearing Bare Minerals for 8+ hours.
All I can say is if you aren’t sure just give it a try you won’t regret it.

This is so good to finish off the Bare Escentuals make up regime. It helps hide open pores and lightens dark areas around the eyes. Would not be without it.
