Bare Escentuals Puts Out A Future Cult Favorite
So what’s the difference between BARE ESCENTUALS new bareMinerals SPF 15 Matte Foundation and their regular finish foundation? Some have reported it gives the skin more of an airbrushed look and some have said this is the one for you if you have oily skin.It seems to be the same formula (and same choice of colors), just with a different end result. I did notice a slight difference in the finish but not huge. Would I go out and get this one special? Probably not. Would I buy this one over their regular powder foundation when the container is empty and I’m ready to purchase more? Probably yes.
And the packaging of this one is so cool. No more turning over to dump some out in the cover!
At $28, it’s $3 more than the regular foundation. Maybe because of the new packaging? I’ll pay it! Get it @ ulta.com.
I asked the same question to a person that worked at Sephora and the difference was that the matte powder does not have bismuth in it. The problem I have been having with bare escentuals was that in photos I looked paler, and she stated that the bismuth in the original was the reason for this.

Hi Bev, depending on what effect you are going for would be which one you would use.
