Really good match with great coverage

Yes, I recommend this

I love bareminerals products and this loose powder is perfect for when I do a minimal makeup day. It stays in place and lasts all day, it really is light weight and offers good coverage, as a woman of darker skin tone it's great to find my shade without compromise.

My favourite foundation

Yes, I recommend this

The bare minerals foundation powder is fabulous. I have tried other quality brand foundation but always back to this one. It’s a powder that you gently buff on that turns into a foundation. Good coverage and lasts well. It comes in many shades which is great as you can mix them to match your skin colour especially when tanned. I had to buy online as my local store in Longbridge doesn’t stock it in store. Please add this M & S.

Buildable Coverage.

Yes, I recommend this

It's an excellent product and I have been using it for at least 5 years and wouldn't use anything else. I use is just on the forehead and a liquid foundation on the rest of the face but the shades match.

Love this product. Covers really well without being heavy and stays put all day. Great range of shades, I wear a few different ones, they’re all flattering in a different way. Goes a long and lasts several months, great value as on offer.
