User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars LOVE
I have always had the issue of oily and dry skin and when ever I would put my makeup on I would be oily within the next hour. The matte foundation keeps my skin looking really smooth and natural and keeps me oil free all day. I wore this stuff at a theme park all day and in the afternoon it started to rain, when I got home the coverage was still amazing and looked like it did when I put it on.
3 Stars Nice improvement, but..
I have used BE for years, and really like it, except it accentuates my pores (I hate that!!) and when I sweat, it makes my skin itch. The matte is a huge improvement for us oily girls because the non-matte BE has the mica in it which looks shiny, and I certainly don’t need any help in that department. I just wish this didn’t accentuate pores though.. they look about 4 times bigger than they do with no make up or with liquid or cream make ups. I guess that’s because it doesn’t “sink” into the skin, but rather, sits on top.
I also notice that the BE seems to migrate throughout the day to my oily parts and wiping off of the drier parts, making my skin look really patchy with make up.. so touch ups are definitely required throughout the day.
1 Star Not satisfied-switching back to old formula
I’ve been using the original bareMinerals for 5 years and really love it. I decided to try out the new matte formula because I thought it would be better for my oily skin. I am really dissatisfied with the new formula. First, it is very difficult to apply and does not blend well. It takes twice as much time to apply as the original formula. Once applied it feels very chalky and sits like a heavy mask on your face. Plus the coverage is not good. Like the other reviewer said, it also makes your pores appear much larger, especially on your nose. I even tried using the Prime Time foundation primer with it but it does not help the foundation to go on any smoother. I’m definitely chucking this junk and switching back to the old formula.
3 Stars Very much like the original makeup
I have used Bare Minerals Foundation and found it causes me to have breakouts. I tried the matte foundation and I really can’t tell any difference.
