    This is no miracle in a jar as advertised

    I have no idea how they get the coverage they do in commercials! but it does take two minutes to put on. It starts off powdery but eventually normalizes due to my oily skin and hot climate. it evens out complexion but by no means will make anything disappear ! If u build the coverage too much you look extremely powdery like u had a fight with a powder puff and it won! I have tried other mineral foundations on the market and it is hands down the least bad..I am faithful to it since it the golden medium matches my skin perfectly, more so than any other foundation ever! — 10 months, 4 weeks ago

    slightly controls oil

    Non drying, same great coverage as the regular formula. Dont expect miracles with the oil control factor, look for that in your skincare. Needs a long lasting setting spray or reapplication.

    Better than the original

    The matte formula is great for oily skin but apply carefully if you have combination skin because it can also be drying so make sure to moisturize! I find that the coverage with this foundation is also better than the original and the color is much more accurate to what is listed. It's a little more yellow; I used golden medium. Ou don't have to use much but it also depends on what brush you use. I used to use the kabuki brush when I used the original but found that the flawless face brush gave me adequate coverage with the matte version. The price is typical for BE products but that's expected for the natural ingredients and a good price to pay for an item that's is good for your skin. — 1 year, 2 months ago

    Been a user for years...

    This is the only foundation I will ever wear. I love that it blends nicely and covers excellent without the cakey/heavy feeling of most foundations. I will never stray from my Bare Minerals! — 1 year, 5 months ago

    Ehh, doesn't live up to the hype.

    I purchased the matte foundation because I have very oily combination skin and because my daughter is starting to break out from cystic acne. We were told by an anesthetician that this would be wonderful for her. Not too heavy, good coverage and good to use on her acne. Well I used it the first day and noticed my face a little itchy, didn't think too much of it. But by the next day my face was burning and itching so I returned mine. My daughter is still using hers and she's ok with it. She's only 15 and she doesn't need a foundation, just something to help with the redness of her acne and even out her skin. I did not like this foundation. It seemed to settle into all my lines and all my dry spots. And the shades doesn't alway blend that well. — 1 year, 9 months ago

    LOVE IT

    I used to use the original but I didn’t really like the fact that it left a somewhat glittery feel to my skin. I love the matte foundation because it reduces the oil on my face and it looks more natural. — 1 year, 9 months ago

    Better than the original

    I love the matte foundation. I only use mineral foundation on my sensitive skin as it's the only kind that doesn't make me break out. The original one always left my face really shiny. This blends well on my skin and leaves it looking flawless. People always comment on how healthy my face looks and while it's pimple free, without makeup it's also really blotchy; this foundation completely covers that. — 1 year, 10 months ago

    A hit-or-miss product

    Gives me perfect, light coverage! But, my nose is a bit oily and i find the foundation totally wears away by the middle of the day. If it was a bit more long-lasting, this foundation would be absolutely perfect! — 1 year, 10 months ago
