Consistently great – I have used this product for three years. My skin is sooo sensitive to almost every product but L'Oreal mineral foundation not only improved the appearance of my skin, it improved the health of my skin. You do need to be mindful of inhaling particles, and dusting on your clothing but I use golden ivory as I an fairly pale and most foundation looks orange on my skin. Great product, give it a try <3

Great for Newb's – If you are young and new to makeup, I highly suggest you start with this mineral powder. You don't need to dive in to full coverage magicall-ness just yet. Keep it natural and enjoy your skin's beautiful youthful glow and keep it simple. This mineral powder was great in my late teens and early twenties with a concealer. To all the Mama's out there, if your girls are wanting to start using makeup I highly recommend this product ❤️❤️❤️

Perfect for my skintone and love it – On my birthday ,my husband give me this thing as gift. I used other foundation but really not satisfied and surprisingly my husband bought for me and perfect goes with my skin. No patches nor sponge required now keep all the time in my purse. Really handy and easy to go no mess happy me :) Natural product for skin.

Terrible – I have naturally very pale skin so i purchased this in ivory. Did not like the product at all, there was nothing positive i could say about the product itself. It was very cheap only $12 so i purchased 2 with high hopes. I normally use the true match one thats similar and love it, this product can not compare. Very cheap Did not sit well on skin, had minimal coverage, made me look like a ghost.

Excellent – After cleansing apply a bit of moisturiser and/or liquid foudation and but this foundation on top and it gives a flawless look. It covers all my blemishes very easily. It is quick to apply with the handy brush that comes with it. It is definitely the best powder mineral make up I have encountered so far. My friends all use it now and they all love… Read more

it. It's also not that expensive for the quality. Great value for your buck at just over $30. It usually lasts me about 3 months. Sits on the skin nicely, Flawless look. Quick and easy to apply. Great value. Not as good as the newer true mach mineral make up

Terrible – overall this product is a waste of money, the end result is very disappointing. it does not apply well, doesn't wear well through the day and makes you skin look clumpy. you get what you pay for, you can't compare bare minerals and l'oreal mineral powder. i had to through mine out. the brush is not a proper kabuki brush, therefore it doesn't… Read more

apply the powder as well, making certain areas on your face appear blotchy, while other parts of your face look like you haven't applied your make up properly - as there is a patch of powder build up. packaging this product is not natural, there are chemicals included. does not sit on skin nicely, gives a cakey look to the skin.

Terrible – This prodcut was useless. I found the brush to be difficult to use and that it also mosled on my skin leaving me to have to pick off the hairs from my freshly made up face. I found the prodcuts to be tacky and I felt that my face looked like chlak when I used it. It was difficult to build colour even when used with a primer. It was messy to use… Read more

and a lot of it ended up on my clothes, floor, sink and cabinet. Never again. It was cheap Everything. I hated this prodcut and ended up throwing it wasy.

Bad – The packaging really annoyed me, the little brush was pretty bad too. I went out and bought a brush to try and apply it as the brush supplied seemed pretty pointless. My skin felt tight and itchy whenever I wore it as well, which it didn't do when using mineral cosmetic products by other brands. I wont be buying this product again. The maybeline mineral make up was cheaper and better. The colour range The messy packaging & the itchy skin

Excellent – Very good product. I am addicted to this product and haven't gone back to using regular liquid foundation since this came onto the market. Well done L'Oreal this is a top quality product. Beautiful colour. Ideal for my skin tone. I do not break out with this product. It has a sunscreen which is perfect and you can build the coverage Nothing… Read more

really. Would be nice if there were two brushes so you could apply the product around the eye area easier. I end up with lots of product spilled on my bathroom cabinet.

Excellent – i really love mineral make up. it gives me a better finish than regular makeup, less breakouts and feels much nicer on my skin. this gave a lovely even coverage. i can keep it quite light or get a more matt coverage depending how much i use. i will buy this again i love the coverage. feels very light on my skin. i can vary the coverage from light… Read more

to quite full. not shiny at all. i love the brush that is built into the cap of this foundation it did take me quite a while to get the right colour for me. once i got help with this it was fine.

Excellent – It comes in a flash little bottle with a brush included to minimise waste. It is extremely easy to apply as the big brush just allows you to blend as much or as little powder as you want to create a subtle effect for daytime wear or a more dramatic result for a night out. The results are very natural but offer just a slight shimmer to add that… Read more

extra special bit of dazzle. It is very impressive and worth that bit more than I would normally spend on a foundation. but so worth it. It comes in a great range of natural-looking colours that suit all complections. It is soft and gentle on delicate skin. This is one product I would tell everyone try as there is a shade available just for you. Easy to apply, great natural finish

OK – A really good idea, great colours and easy to use. I would be careful and try the tester first if you have sensitive skin to save wasting money if it doesn't suit you. This easy to use powder comes with a conveniently built in brush applicator. I found the brush easy to use and the powder simple to apply. It was easy to find my perfect colour… Read more

as there were many colours available. I like the idea that it is a more makeup option. Great that you can vary the heaviness of your makeup by applying more powder where needed. Seemed to stay on well. Unfortunately I broke out in a rash after every application of this product - I have fairly sensitive skin but am still usually ok with most other makeup brands. The powder tended to cake a little if I perspired while wearing it eg walking to and from the bus.

Excellent – When I bought this from the chemist I wasn't really happy with it. Then I got an instruction brochure from Big W on how to use it correctly. This made a huge difference to how the make-up went on. You must tip the pot upside down, then tap it on the bench on an angle. There will then be only a small amount of powder in the pot. Then you have… Read more

to swish your brush in this and then you MUST tap the brush on the side of the pot. If you don't tap the brush you get too much make-up on your face and it looks terrible. Good Luck! This is a great foundation to use if you don't want a caked up look and feel. Nothing except it needs directions with it.

Good – Everyone loves Mineral Powder now! L'Oreal Bare Naturale is just like the other brands that have started to make mineral powders, they're all right but it would overall be better to purchase other brands. It's pretty good for the price and it lets your skin breath while evening out your complection and covering up pimples. It belnds well, and it's… Read more

cheaper than other mineral foundations, or about the same price. It's mineral so of course it's good for your skin. There should be driections, and the brush can get stiff and scratchy. The powder falls off easily.

Bad – I wouldn't buy this again. The brush is messy, and after removing the brush from the powder to use, the powder dusted everywhere. I don't know- if you're used to using powder, then give this a go. But if you're more of a liquid/matte kind of person, then it's best to stay away from this particular product in my opinion. Great shades. Messy, left my skin looking flaky, didn't last that long. I had to keep retouching all day.

Good – i think this is a wonderful foundation as anyone can use it with no problems, other that it can be hard to use(get on the brush) very good colours, nice feel and cheap i find it messy and hard to use

Good – This product was not that easy to apply, to be honest. The brush became a little bristly after a while, so it is important to clean it once in a while! This product covered my uneven skin tone quite well! Great product in general. It was a cheap product,and covered my flaws quite well. The powder was not very easy to apply, too. L'oreal is a great… Read more

product for those once-use make up products, and was of convenient size. Fitted into my handbag with ease! The brush became a little rough after a while, and also the powder caused a couple of unwanted pimples, but thankfully, they werent that visible.

Excellent – L'Oreal Mineral Foundation is so so much easier to apply than liquid or cake foundations and lasts all day without touch ups. Wouldn't use anything else since I found this one. Was tempted a few times, after store recommendations and tried Revlon and a couple of others, but they don't have the cover or convenience. Try it, you should like it.… Read more

Saw store person try it on a lady with quite a large birth mark on one side of her face and it covered it and made it look like it had never been there, without that cake made up look! Love L'Oreal mineral foundation!!! Just great for every day use on its own or over foundation for those extra special occasions. I have tried two or three other brands of mineral foundation and they don't even come close to the L'Oreal brand. It is so easy to use, covers well, depending on how much you wish to use, no messy fingers after applying foundation or clean up. So glad I found it. Previous ones I wore made me look like I had bad sunburn, but his one is the best out of the brands have used. Power is a bit messy, be careful not to get it on your clothes when applying, as can stain.

Good – I too would never go back to liquid foundation, this stuff is great. Once you get the hang of it, its pretty easy to apply, but be very careful not to over-apply it otherwise your skin will look really strange, like thick foundation on. I like most about it that only a small amount or dusting is required to acheive a flawless look and skin looks… Read more

airbrushed. Will repurchase - nice colour range available

- not oily

- last ages and doesnt break me out

- skin looks airbrushed - difficult to apply at first, need practice

- if you apply to much your skin looks really weird

It looks sooo natural on my skin i have sooo many people coment on me on my skin & how fresh & flawless it looks & feel. Its very easy to apply dont really have to worry about makeup line just make sure u get the right colour cos… Read more

HOESTLY GIRLS THIS IS PROB THE BEST MAKE UP I HAVE EVER USED puts SHEER COVER TO SHAME ... & much easier to get then sheer cover its at pretty much every pharmacy & priceline & under $40 bucks & no monthly commitment like sheer over... LOVE IT!!! Its small & compact & a little goes a long way ( believe me) ;o)

EXCELLENT COVERAGE...

Excellent – I am very happy with the powder as my face does not look red anymore. I find that at the end of the day the makeup is still there and it does not seem to rub off onto my hands or clothes. I'd seen a similar product on TV which looked good as it covered uneven skin tone and then I saw Bare Naturale on the shelf. At first I wasn't too sure about… Read more

it but now that I have the hang of it I love it. It is light and it takes away the redness from my face. The brush is great but it is a bit awkward getting the power onto the brush.

OK – Good for when you're in a hurry and just want light coverage. I probably wouldn't buy it again. Very quick to use and a nice light coverage. I find it tricky to use and quite messy. It also wears off quickly.

OK – Hmmm....this is a hard one. It's a great quick make up for busy mornings but will never feel right to me personally. It's hard to find the right shade and takes practice to apply...not as easy as it seems. NOT for dry skin. It is fairly easy to use once you have the hang of it. A little goes a long way so it is not too expensive. Mineral make… Read more

ups are supposed to be good for the skin. Be really really careful about getting the right colour...not as easy as it seems. Ask for advice and try to get out in daylight to test it. Easy to buy too dark with this product. The brush needs cleaning (washing) fairly often.

Excellent – This is the first mineral make-up that i have ever used and i was completly supprised at the level of coverage that it gives. You don't end up with a caked on look that you get with alot of the liquid foundations. This Foundation is FANTASTIC!!!! It has great coverage over redness and spots and doesn't leave your skin feeling heavy at all. It… Read more

takes half the time to apply than regular foundation and the applicator is so easy to use, you get the perfect amount every time and it's so easy to blend. Ther are none with this product!

Bad – After all the advertising hype I was very keen to try this product. Although it does cover uneven skintone I was very disappointed to find that it dramatically emphasised my pores which are not usually noticable with other makeup. This foundation is only suitable if you have very fine pores, otherwise you will be wasting your money. Good coverage & Lightweight. EMPHASISES PORES.

Good – I love the coverage from the mineral powder makeup. It's so quick and easy to apply the makeup and it looks very natural if you select the right colour. I'd never go back to the hassle of liquid foundation. I've been using a similar product to this for about 4 years and find this is a suitable but cheaper alternative without compromising the… Read more

quality. I purchased this because it is very similar to ID Mineral Makeup but lower cost. I like the fact that it is a single unit with the brush built in. It's never in stock wherever I look!
