This product is a STAPLE that I use almost daily. It gives light coverage that you can build by adding a little foundation on top. I usually just pair it with some concealer and am always so happy with how my skin looks! Foundation tends to look a bit cakey on my skin and makes my pores look more noticeable, even high quality ones. This tinted moisturizer gives me glowing skin! And feels like it clogs my pores less and nourishes my skin. Definitely try it! You won’t be disappointed. Read more
I decided to try this before I run out of Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. I haven't loved that, but it was expensive and I developed some methods of making it work OK for me until it runs out but I definitely needed to find something else. I have combination skin. It's very difficult to find a foundation that works on my entire face. I use good quality loose minerals so I don't want or need a heavy foundation. Tinted moisturizer is perfect in concept, but it has been challenging to find the right one... until now. This Bare Minerals Natural Matte is perfect! What I love: It offers good coverage that isn't too little or too much (better than LM) It minimizes my pores (LM did not!) It moisturizes the dry areas but doesn't make the oily areas more oily (LM was not good on the oily parts) It doesn't pool up on the oily areas of my face and cause them to look shiny (LM pools and causes shine) It lasts all day with very little maintenance needed on an average day at the office. (LM req'd maintenance) What I don't love: It's a little pricey but no worse than what I was already buying. It's a good product so worth it to me. I apply this with a very small makeup brush. Don't focus too much on what the manufacturer calls the brush. Look for a brush about 1/4 inch wide or so. Sponges absorb very expensive makeup and so do fingers. I like the brush because it isn't absorbent. Using a small brush gives me lots of control, helps me blend evenly, and doesn't waste any product. I give it a few minutes to set on my face, then I apply loose minerals lightly over my entire face and I'm set for the day. Overall, I highly recommend this, particularly if you have combo skin like me and don't like heavy pore-clogging foundation. Read more
Love this makeup. Gives my face a healthy glow. Lightweight looks very natural. Read more
This tinted moisturizer seems like it would be amazing if I had purchased to correct shade :( It's really difficult to get the undertones right. There are SO many different color choices, which is great!! The one I bought gives me a more pale sick look. It's not too light, as far as shade goes, but it drained all of the richness from my skin making me look dull in the face. Totally take responsibility for not knowing my correct color match before purchasing. I docked one star because it's actually more full coverage than other tinted moisturizers I've used in the past. Just a dab too much and it gave foundation vibes. All preference though! Read more
Love the lightweight feel and how easily it blends. Doesn't feel oily or caked on. Color matches my complexion perfectly. Read more
This product is okay but I wouldn’t repurchase. My skin is quite oily and this isn’t as matte as I’d hoped. It also oxidizes on my skin and gives a slightly orange hue. The coverage is pretty good and it’s comfortable but just not for me personally. Read more
Good matte coverage. Read more
Returned. Sits on skin in patches and beads even in very thin coverage. Read more
