Bare Minerals Matte Foundation
Has anyone else tried it? I have, what I think is a pretty bad greasy T Zone, and I love the new Matte foundation, paired with Smashbox's Photo Finish Light Primer, I have never had a better experience with any foundation.

Re: Bare Minerals Matte Foundation
I had a heck of a time with this. I purchased it (mind you never have used bare escentuals before) but the Sales lady convinced me to purchase it. It did not keep my face matte at all but more importantly broke me out! I had little bumps all over my forehead with this and same with the orig formula I got 2 10 day samples of it and it did the same thing. I just don't understand how a company who claims to be 100% all natural minerals from the earth no added fillers or anything can cause breakouts?? it's just so odd to me? If anything it should clear any existing one's you have or prevent any from forming IMO :/

Re: Bare Minerals Matte Foundation
Yikes! I have been wanting to try this and that is the exact reason I haven't. I have very acne prone skin, so I hate to put anything on it that would make it worse...
I may try a sample from Sephora, but if anyone else has tried this, I would love more opinions...
right now I am using MUFE Mat Velvet, which just feels too heavy and I have to mix 2 colors to get a match. I prefer powder foundation....but something with coverage.

Re: Bare Minerals Matte Foundation
I have been using bare minerals foundation (i havent tried the matte formula yet) for 5 years and at first it broke me out but i noticed if i used their bare vitamins that comes with tha kit (or u can get it alone 2) i didnt break out anymore as it has glycollic and salicylic acids in it tha same as acne treatments! I havent broke out even with other foundations if i apply this before i apply any foundation!

Hope this helps.... =o)

Re: Bare Minerals Matte Foundation
I tried it today at my locate BE boutique and I tried warm tan, which I had never tried that color. I was using med tan/tan prior. I LOVE the color match and I like the foundation. I will be picking it up tomorrow with the sephora 20% off. Which brush do you like applying it with it I was thinking about picking up the handy buki brush.

Re: Bare Minerals Matte Foundation
How's the coverage? and does it settle on fine lines,like expression lines?I want to buy it but the other one looked cakey on me and it settle on my lines around the eyes(when i smile,it forms the lines and when i stop smiling the lines are still there, but without the foundation on I don't have any lines,lol)
