Love it! February 9, 2010
P. Amin (Dallas, TX)
I have been using the regular BE for over 4 years now. I love that product, but I have really oily skin and it just seemed to be accentuated at times by the makeup. I recently bought the matte foundation and have been using it for a few days now. The oil reduction is noticeable and the makeup looks great. Don't expect it solve all of your skin problems - ie. large pores. Also, be aware that the makeup is a little heavier that the original BE foundation. Overall, however, I will take heavier over oilier! Will definitely purchase again!
Lighter Coverage, Awesome Container February 9, 2010
J. Brown (South Jersey)

I have to agree with the naysayers. If you've used BareMinerals standard foundation before, you may be disappointed. I have both the matte and standard and I just did a half and half face comparison. The matte did not cover darkness under the eyes or redness from blemishes nearly as well as the standard. Also, the matte and standard formulas are practically identical for immediate reduction of shine. The matte may perform better for some people on all-day shine control, but so far, for me, the difference has been unnoticeable.
LIGHTER COVERAGE: If you are the kind of person with relatively good skin and not much to cover up, I would recommend the matte foundation highly because the coverage is light and very natural. It looks more natural than the standard foundation. But if you are like me and have blemishes and dark circles, I highly recommend the standard foundation.
AWESOME CONTAINER: Most BareMineral lovers will agree on the single most annoying thing about BareMinerals: the containers DO NOT travel well. Most of us have experienced a purse, suitcase, or travel bag sprinkled with that impossible to remove powder. Thankfully, they have fixed this problem in the new containers. But, so far, it looks like they are only using the new spill-proof containers on the matte formula. This container is so good, I recommend buying it for refill purposes. Although, if you are going to refill it, you should know that the container is .09 oz smaller than the standard foundation containers. Also, it opens from the bottom and is tricky to reseal.
PRICE: Matte foundation is 10 bucks more than the standard, and the container is smaller by almost 1/3. For me, it was worth it for the new container, which I will re-use.
BOTTOM LINE: I prefer the standard, but if this Matte foundation was the only product that BareMinerals made, I would still buy it because I still prefer it to any other make-up I have ever tried. Whether you prefer lighter or more complete coverage, BareMinerals is nothing short of MAGIC.
The new matt finish works for me! February 3, 2010
Kayna M. Popnoe (San Antonio, TX)
The reason I like the matt finish is because the end result doesn't look shiny. I've struggled with the original foundation because it appeared to have flecks of sparkle in it, which I guess is supposed to represent a "glow". I wanted to achieve a look with less glow, which is why the matt finish works for me.
I do think that each person will have to determine the look they want, glow vs. matt, based on her own skin type, i.e., oily, normal, or dry. If in doubt, I would advise talking with a Bare Essentials (or cosmetic) beautician to determine the right formula for you so you're happy with the results.
Really Like This! January 10, 2010
Christie L. Volff (Upstate, NY)
I have been using this with the mineral vail for a couple days now, decided to upgrade from my liquid cover girl- clean makeup. I have to say I feel and see a big improvement! Normally my face feels greasy a short time after application, however, with this mineral matte foundation I went hours without feeling slick and oily. I have never tried the original formula so I cannot compare, but I thought it would be worth the investment to try something that has qualities that interested me. I am quite satisfied! If I have larger pimples that concealer will shortly melt from I will dab a little bit of the matte foundation over the pimple and buff the powder in a little more, the coverage lasts so much LONGER! I feel prettier in my makeup than ever before and actually find application to be fun!
Really good January 7, 2010
Miaa Fisher (Little Rock, Arkansas)
I have been using BE for over 3 years now and decided to try this matte formula a few months ago. Since then I have been getting really great comments on my skin, (more than before) and although I do agree with some of the other ladies in that it's not as good as the original, I like it because it seems to soften my oily spots.
