A revolutionary line of makeup created by San Francisco-based Bare Escentuals.
Since 1976, Bare Escentuals has been leading the cosmetic industry with its makeup made from 100% pure micronized minerals free of preservatives, oil, fragrance, talc and other potential irritants.
Bare Minerals may look like a powder, but that's as far as the resemblance goes.
Bare Minerals SPF 15 Foundation feels like a cream and blends flawlessly, giving you the look and feel of bare skin.
Our naturally pure bare Minerals SPF 15 Foundation morphs into your skin to cover imperfections, while providing SPF 15 protection.

Best mineral makeup on earth just like they say. I used liquid my whole life and battled acne my whole life. I changed to mineral about 5 years ago and have never gone back. I have tried many different minerals in an effort to save a buck but i always end up back at bare minerals! and my acne has cleared up!

I've tried a couple other brands of mineral makeup but I always come back to Bare Minerals! They don't make me break out and I know that their lightest shade matches perfectly with my ultra-fair skin. I never look made-up & have never had a problem with breakouts, which can't be said for other minerals & my super-sensitive skin!

This product is overrated. Drugstore coverup and powder covers better that this expensive product. After using the product for 3 weeks, both cheecks started breaking out badly. I've been using acne medicine for the past 3 weeks just to clear up my skin again.

Because of my oily skin I have always steered clear from heavy foundations, but love light powders. This one was awful. I found that within a couple hours after each application my face became greasy and oily so I would reapply a little more throughout the day, and as a result I began to break out. I also hated that my makeup bag became a disaster from a broken cap, and that the powder was all over my bathroom counter daily. I will never buy this again.

I have been using this product for the past year now and plan on using it for a long time to come! I used to have really bad acne, and even though it has really cleared up through the use of accutane, I am still stuck with very oily, sensitive skin. This foundation leaves my skin glowy and natural looking, and most importantly has eliminated that shine which every other makeup would eventually leave me with. Seriously I used to have to use those oil blotter sheets regularly and they would turn completely clear- but now this is not really much of an issue. Mineral veil is also the most amazing product ever! It instantly makes your skin look "airbrushed". I am constantly getting compliments on my glowing- not shiny, skin and would recommend this product to anyone. Also I have noticed that my skin's condition has actually improved since I've used bare minerals. I am a college student and often go to bed with my makeup still on- before using bare minerals I used to wake up with brake-outs but now this simply does not happen anymore! The only complaint I have about this product is that the brushes are very scratchy, I had to replace mine with some from another brand but it was well worth it!

I have used it for 4 yrs. I love everything about it and I am a very picky person. Have tried all major name brands before... nothing compares to Bare Minerals.

I found this product to be way over-rated and average at best. It was ok, but I didn't see why I should pay so much for powder when there were comparable ones at the local drugstores so I returned the bare minerals make-up for a refund. I have pretty nice skin to begin with but I have some freckles & it didn't cover them. Also, I found the application a little messy and it didn't apply evenly on my skin.

I have it all...acne, acne scarring, redness, combination skin..I started with cystic acne at age 14 and I'm now 37 still sadly in pursuit of foundation that works for me. I was so excited to get bare minerals in the mail. I worked with it for several days before I realized what a BIGGER mess my face had become. Whether it was the product or the brushes(which seemed rough in texture to me), I'm terribly allergic to something I was using. Also, I could not get the coverage I needed, not in the least. I can see the product working for women with nearly perfect skin. I am not one of those women! I haven't gone without make-up since age 14. I just sent back the products, hoping to be one of the lucky ones who gets a refund and doesn't get charged for anything else. If the product worked for me I would have happily paid the money for the auto shipments. I would like to add that last week I saw another brand of mineral make-up I thought was only sold on TV/internet at a local store. I am extremely happy with it and it does all it promises. I somehow look natural with full coverage..I'm still sort of in shock at the woman in the mirror. My husband is delighted I'm happy with how I look and he thinks the make-up looks great on me. When I had on the bare minerals he said I did look more natural but like I'd had too much sun (which is the redness of my complexion showing through combined with the shine the product put on my face). I hope that my comments have been helpful.

I love the foundations, eye make up, blushes, bronzers everything. I think its been 6 years but i'm not 100% sure, but since I first tried this I haven't let another foundation touch my face. I love how it looks and how light it feels.

I can't believe how good it looks on my skin, I had lots of good comments on the way my skin looks. My friends all think I had "somehting" done. I glow. However, it just gets a little messy, but I can deal with that.

I give Bare Minerals 5 stars. My favorite out of the entire range is the Bare Escentual Mineral Veil, it leaves a nice finish and no more shiny forehead. It also gives a soft, natural look with a nice complexion. For product which is all natural, cruelty free, I believe there is no substitute for this type of product.

I found that the product works great on my skin. It absorbs the oily shine leaving my face with a nice glow.
