The original bare minerals made my skin look flawless when I was younger. I’ve tried it again now just recently at age 54 and it wasn’t so good. I think the pressed powder looks better now with other foundations, as long as I prep properly, so I think I might give this a shot. Thanks Rebecca. That Wayne Goss brush is the best!
Oh I love that Wayne Goss brush too, as you know, Laurie. And this is such a nice full coverage powder. I do know what you mean about the loose powder from back in the day. I seem to remember not being impressed years later either actually. But this new one is really good. 💕
Wowzers.....this looks fabulous on you Posh. I adore the shade on you...really brightening but warm at the same time. Makes your eyes pop and it's so youthful. It's gorgeous on you. 🙂
Woooo… Nostalgia time!!! I used to live for Leslie’s presentations of bareMinerals on QVC back in 2009/2010. I think that’s when I seriously became interested in makeup, actually!!! Everything was loose minerals back then (with this brand) and people loved it!!! I vividly remember watching a presentation where she was selling 100,000 kits per MINUTE in the very beginning of the presentation. Literally. Not exaggerating at all. I was one of the 100,000, of course!!!! 😁 I still have many of the loose products. I kept ALL the brushes. I just couldn’t declutter those loose eyeshadows, blushes, and “face radiances”(now called highlighters!!!) They perform exactly as you said: they melt into the skin and blend like nothing else. I am not a powder foundation person, but I have definitely heard that drier skins do really well with bareMinerals foundations. Oohhhh, the memories. Now I have to go get my loose minerals and play with them. I also remember Leslie saying they have no expiration date. They’re (or at least were) all minerals with nothing added to them and brushes never touch them, as you work from the lid with a teeny bit of the loose goodness. Sure enough, mine still look brand new and they’re how old??? 2009, you say??? Oh, they’re just three years old, then. 😁😁😁💖
Yes ha ha exactly! Only three years old! But that does tell you something about the quality of these products. I know that they are not editorial darlings but this brand has so much to offer. These products are very good and anyone interested in powder would be crazy not to turn to them. Definitely nostalgic and definitely still relevant!!!!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Oh, absolutely!!!!! The quality is OUTSTANDING. Anyone who has ever tried the brand has to agree. Is this pressed powder foundation still all minerals like the original?? I don’t remember, but I think it only had two or three ingredients. 😻💖 Let me go look. Yes, I checked the original one. Three ingredients plus two that are SPF. 😻😻😻
I've been a devoted powder foundation person for a very long time now. For the longest time I wore CoverFx and then recently have been pretty into Alima Pure. Both of those worked great for me and I was able to find good shade matches (something I struggled with previously with the old loose Bare Minerals). But your review of the new BarePro is making new want to try Bare Minerals again! I love the idea that you can use it with a brush or a damp sponge!
So, I have been using the BarePro liquid and powder foundation since they came out a few years ago. I have not tried this reformulated version yet (I will soon), but let me tell you, the BarePro line is very underrated. It is fantastic. Honeslty, it's my favorite foundation line to use. It's better than my beloved Charlotte Tilbury, better than NARS, better than Dior, better than all of them. BareMinerals knows how to make foundations. People think I have perfect skin. They don't realize I'm wearing foundaion. I am. I'm wearing either the liquid or the powder BarePro.
I love this comment, Holly, because it is so true. We all buy into the hype. And we are all seduced by the names like Charlotte and Natasha. But, the fact of the matter is, these folks know what they are doing! This is a very good foundation. All of their products are very good. They are just not sensationalized, for some reason, by the editorial press. I believe Wayne Goss does sing their praises but, other than him, they do not get enough attention and they deserve more!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Exactly! I'm totally guilty of buying into hype, but that's one thing I've decided to change for 2022. So far, every new release I've tried from Charlotte, NARS, etc., have greatly disappointed me. Bareminerals is tried and true. Their lip products are incredible, their eyeshadows are amazing, it could literally be my one and done brand. The Strength and Length mascara is never talked about and it's amazing. I highly recommend the BarePro concealer as well. It's a stick concealer, and it's fantastic. If you like Cle de Peau, but you don't want to spend the money, try the BarePro concealer instead.
@@hollyalwaysjolly9123 It’s so true. And I think this is how the make up industry is going to change over the next year or two. Brand loyalty rather than newest and latest. It will be interesting to watch it happen and I hope this brand in particular fares well.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I agree. I recently discovered Lawless Beauty, and I'm telling you, it has really impressed me. Best eyeshadows and mascara on the market handsdown. I'm turning more to the clean brands.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty having a hard time finding shade. Each time I put in a good matching foundation on Sephora, it tells me they cannot find a match!!!
@@cabrooker Agreed! Best to go with the description, going by your general skin tone (fair, light, light/med and so on) and your usual undertone. That is how I did it and it worked out pretty well, actually, maybe a shade deeper but I like that tan look. Haha.
Says medium coverage but, I agree, it really does act more like full. But I put it on with a dense brush. Depending upon the application technique you use, you will get different results. It’s an interesting little foundation
I too wore bare minerals on QVC for years. I loved the foundation & all their makeup, always got compliments 💖 I’m gonna try this for sure! Omg Rebecca I need that Wayne Goss brush and it’s sold out 😆 do you have one similar you would recommend ty sweetheart 💕
We are going to talk all about foundation brushes for sure when we do the foundation recap. My favorites are this Wayne Goss brush which is, yes, totally gone unfortunately. Also the fusion set from Sonia G. Both are wonderful. The fusion set restocked yesterday at Beautylish. I have to check to see if it is still there now.
Wow, you’ve almost tempted me to try out this powder foundation. Since I have quite dry skin I tend to steer clear of powders, however if you think it will look good on top of a moisturiser then I might give it at go. :) Your skin does look AMAZING!
A lot of people mention Jane Iredale in the same sentence and, though I am familiar with a few things, I can’t say that I know enough about her brand to compare the two. But I will say this, these are two brands that you don’t hear very much about lately which is a shame.
Hey Julie! Surprisingly, this one is not at all powdery. I'm shocked too! Am definitely going to do a brief powder foundation ranking in my recap of this month's offerings. But, in the future, I'd LOVE to do a larger powder foundation video. Thank you for the suggestion. Sounds very fun!
I was first introduced to this brand by QVC U.K. & always found it to be a ‘safe & reliable’ brand. I know, I know I make it sound boring but the products I tried were always excellent 😊💕
That’s just the thing, Whitney. Safe and reliable are the right words. And, exactly, I totally agree, that makes them kind of uninteresting for a very young group of influencers. It’s a shame because that reliability makes for a really good product. They just aren’t slick!
I just ordered a new Bareminerals mineral veil in compact & loose powder yesterday! Mineral powders work best on my skin (dry) for burring & setting. I try every other powder known to man but always have a backup of minerals 🙂 There are many who swear by using a mineral foundation powder (like this one) over their liquid foundation (light dusting). I think it looks fantastic on your skin (maybe the best)🌟 I might need to get this one!! Thanks for sharing 🤍 Have you tried the Nikkia Joy Velvet finishing powder? I think that's about to take off in the US. 💕
Thank you for the Nikkia Joy recommendation. Definitely familiar with her brand but have not tried! Bareminerals just know what they are doing. Such good stuff. Wish they got more press!
Bareminerals barepro powder foundation is my favourite compact foundation, I've tried quite a few. I wonder what the difference is with this new one. Glad powders are making a come back. Even Elf has brought their own out.
Hello Carole! Not sure exactly the difference. I do not believe this one has an SPF but I will look at the differences in the ingredients to make sure of that. And you will like it just as much. I saw that Elf has a new one. I bet it’s good. They are very good for drugstore brands. Actually there a lot of great drugstore brands but Elf is certainly one of them.
@@leekflower1 so while it's good with damp sponge I got the jcat aqua powder and omword. It is better than Mac, bare mineral, eldw powder. Every powder. The coverage is insane. If you use and spray with any setting spray it's amazing. I have tried every powder foundation and the jcat is the best.
I like this powder foundation, but to me since I love full coverage it seems I have to keep pilling it on to get the coverage I want and there is not a lot of product in the pan. NOW, Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation which is my holy grail, there is no comparison. Full coverage with .52oz of product. But this BM is awesome too..:)
I bought this in 17 neutral it was a little to dark. I have a problem with matching myself. I made it work . Lol i was afraid to use the one they suggested first which was 22 N . 🤣🤣🤣 i was like no no your girl is pasty.
Every time I think that I am a genius at matching myself with foundation online, I go into the store to check and they match me entirely differently. So I have a problem with matching myself too! 💕
I got a different recommendation three separate times on their chat. Still working on a match and an application technique. The old formula was very forgiving. 😔
It is already on its way to me! In fact, it will be one of the last two reviews for the foundation month. This one from Rose Inc. as well as one from the founders of urban decay who have a new brand.
How would you compare it to the Jane Iredale PurePressed Mineral Foundation -- which is what I have used (almost exclusively) for more than a decade? I have a skin condition which precludes me from using just about every liquid foundation/tint out there. My derm and my aesthetician both recommended JI powder and I've stuck with it ever since.
I am only loosely familiar with JI, unfortunately, Nancy. I have not had a chance to review a lot of her products at various magazines and such so I cannot state with certainty any of the particulars. Except, I have heard, as you say, that she is recommended quite often by dermatologists. And I know what it is like to feel unsure or anxious about switching brands as it could cause a skin flare up!
I have never tried a powder foundation but I watch Jessica braun. She loves the Bareminerals powder concealer… says it’s great under the eyes! I’m almost 40 with wrinkles but would love to try it just to see how the heck that works. Have you tried the powder concealer?
Hello Sarah! I have never tried a powder concealer. Wow. I can’t imagine that would be good for fine lines. But… The way this brands powder just kind of warms on the skin, it might just be amazing. I am intrigued.
@@sarahrendon2480 Only 3 shades? I kind of like that it takes the guess work out! For a concealer that works. Not so much for a foundation, of course, but a concealer, for sure.
I'm 55 and a bareminerals freak haha. Their undereye concealer is brilliant, it's called well rested. It totally obliterate any dark under eye shadow!! I use it before the powder foundation. A little pot lasts me well over a year. Doesn't settle into lines at all.
Looks good 😊 I don’t usually use powder foundations but I do have one from osmosis which is a skincare company and it’s nice on my skin. Its def easy to use a powder foundation compared to liquids which require all the blending and can get streaks. Maybe I should try this when I’m done w mine
I remember watching QVC with my grandma and she always let me use her huge bare minerals collection. This brand is nostalgic lol That powder does look great. They seem to really specialize in loose powder?
Oh my goodness, yes! It’s like a retro thing. Yes, they became famous for their loose powder that would just melt into the skin much like this pressed powder does. I think now they are just known mainly for powders of all sorts! But yes, the loose powder put them on the map.
I just heard about the reformulated BarePro. Wayne Goss gave it a glowing review, so I thought I'd hunt up other reviews. I found yours and wondered how you like the BarePro compared to the new Tarte pressed powder foundation. I bought the Tarte, which I like, but I'm curious about this new BM one. I hated the first pressed powder foundation they came out with. I think it was even before the BarePro line. I've never tried any of their BarePro products. Do you like this better than the new Tarte? It looks like the BP might have quicker coverage.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Thanks, Rebecca. Good to know! The Tarte does look nice and doesn't feel drying at all. I don't really need the BarePro. What's a few more swashes with the brush, anyway?
Correction on my comment: the loose foundation back then DID have an expiration date because it had SPF. I was only talking about the eyeshadows, blushes, and highlighters. But I didn’t really wear the foundation, so no biggie. It is/was a great foundation, though. 🙂🙂
They really just deserve so much more attention and, even with the SPF, you know the stuff lasts longer than my $175 Tom Ford that I had to throw away because the SPF went off in liquid! Not that I am bitter.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Exactly!!! And I would be extra deluxe bitter with 10 layers of bitterness on top. I just looked at the original foundation’s ingredient list, including the SPF. It looks soooo pristine; like I just bought it!!! It has stood the test of time. The SPF is gone, of course, but the foundation looks and feels brand new. 🥰💖
This is the Wayne Goss 2021 Holiday brush but also works GREAT with any fluffy powder brush for light application, a Kabuki flat brush for heavier application and a beauty blender or flat pad for fullest effect. 😍
This is a great question. I am very familiar with the Mac product but, admittedly, it’s been forever since I have played with it. But I think we all kind of have it etched into our memory. The Mac powder is much thicker, much more prone to caking up and has much more coverage. The Mac product absolutely goes powder and sits as powder on the skin. The Wayne product is Cream from start to finish. So much so that it needs to be set with either Waynes powder or another powder of your choice. And I think it’s the finish where the products differ the most.
That lipstick is hands down one of my favorite shades on you!
Thank you so much, Danielle! I even forgot I was wearing it and it was on for hours!
I have been using this for a couple of months and absolutely love it!!!! I am mature with dry skin! Great review Rebecca, thank you!
This is the reformulated version. Try this when yours runs out as you already know you love it, Melody!! Great stuff!
I am so glad you reviewed this! Added to my list of wants...
I am super impressed with it Samantha. I really am.

Hello! What shade used?
Light 22 :)
I just heard about the reformulated BarePro. Wayne Goss gave it a glowing review, so I thought I'd hunt up other reviews. I found yours and wondered how you like the BarePro compared to the new Tarte pressed powder foundation. I bought the Tarte, which I like, but I'm curious about this new BM one. I hated the first pressed powder foundation they came out with. I think it was even before the BarePro line. I've never tried any of their BarePro products. Do you like this better than the new Tarte? It looks like the BP might have quicker coverage.
Hello Elizabeth. The Barepro is indeed quicker but the Tarte is prettier on the skin. :)
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Thanks, Rebecca. Good to know! The Tarte does look nice and doesn't feel drying at all. I don't really need the BarePro. What's a few more swashes with the brush, anyway?
@@elizabethbarrow3801 haha! Exactly! 💕
Correction on my comment: the loose foundation back then DID have an expiration date because it had SPF. I was only talking about the eyeshadows, blushes, and highlighters. But I didn’t really wear the foundation, so no biggie. It is/was a great foundation, though. 🙂🙂
They really just deserve so much more attention and, even with the SPF, you know the stuff lasts longer than my $175 Tom Ford that I had to throw away because the SPF went off in liquid! Not that I am bitter.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Exactly!!! And I would be extra deluxe bitter with 10 layers of bitterness on top. I just looked at the original foundation’s ingredient list, including the SPF. It looks soooo pristine; like I just bought it!!! It has stood the test of time. The SPF is gone, of course, but the foundation looks and feels brand new. 🥰💖
@@MissBeeeBeee Such a SMOOTH application!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty EXACTLY!! It feels like silk!!! For real. 😻🤩
Yesssss. This is a good one. I love it. Tomorrow’s review? I’m gritting my teeth for this one. It ain’t pretty.
So which one (bareminerals and tarte) would you prefer for oily skin in summer?
BareMinerals for sure! 💕
What brush did you use? Definitely want to try this foundation
This is the Wayne Goss 2021 Holiday brush but also works GREAT with any fluffy powder brush for light application, a Kabuki flat brush for heavier application and a beauty blender or flat pad for fullest effect. 😍
How does it compare to Mac studio fix powder foundation?
This is a great question. I am very familiar with the Mac product but, admittedly, it’s been forever since I have played with it. But I think we all kind of have it etched into our memory. The Mac powder is much thicker, much more prone to caking up and has much more coverage. The Mac product absolutely goes powder and sits as powder on the skin. The Wayne product is Cream from start to finish. So much so that it needs to be set with either Waynes powder or another powder of your choice. And I think it’s the finish where the products differ the most.
Remember that BM needs to be well buffed in for best application.
Very true, Nancy. Thank you!
I miss Leslie Blodgett.
Oh my goodness! QVC. Those are some retro vibes right there!
