Best foundation
I’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.

The Perfect Blend of Skincare and Makeup
As 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. Hereâs why:
Texture and Application
The first thing youâll 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 powderâs 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. Itâs 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 enhanceâit protects and nourishes. With SPF 15, it offers a gentle layer of sun protection for daily wear. Whatâs 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 wonât experience a jarring mismatch if youâre 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 foundationâitâs a multitasking marvel that combines skincare, sun protection, and customizable coverage in one product. Whether youâre 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.

Iâm 63 ( spent lots of time in the sun)It really does help even out skin tone
I have tried a zillion foundations from crazy expensive to crazy affordable. I used to use bare minerals years ago & just strayed. The last foundation ( Bobbie brown) was awful. It felt and looked like you put melted Vaseline on your face. It really accentuated my pores. I tried all levels of application with it but to no avail. Now I use it as a tinted moisturizer on my arms. Well, anyway,,,,I rediscovered the bare minerals. I forgot how light it feels on your face. And how it truly does even out the skin tone. I usually put a light moisturizer on and wait 10 min before lightly applying with a very soft brush. My sun spots are a different, drier texture, which is why I have to apply a moisturizer first,,,plus AIâm 64,,,,gotta apply a little in general. I do fight trying camouflage my sun spots,,,especially since they are right on my cheek bones. I feel as though this does take them down a notch without having to pile on concealor first. The compact will last a long time. I love all the shades to choose from. I find golden biege works great on my winter skin. Iâll probably add a little bronzer, for the summer and itâll carry me through that season as well. If you really want a smooth look, you may want to do your razor planing, to remove those facial peach fuzzies.

Best foundation
I have been using for years. Itâs easy to put in and lasts awhile. Iâm not sure how much it covers but it feels like Iâm wearing nothing. I have explored with different colors depending on the year. I have a good light coverage with no cakeiness or stickiness. It looks like Iâm wearing nothing in my face. I also love how clean the product is!

My Go-To for Years
It’s a very consistent product. Easy to use. Easy to travel with. Just make sure it’s in your luggage, and not your carry-on, as the TSA will take it!
