bareMinerals Original Loose Mineral Foundation was one of the first "high end" foundations that I ever bought for myself.
I was in college, and after seeing a few too many presentations of it on QVC, I ordered it, and for a few years, I wore it pretty much exclusively.
So a few years ago when they came out with their first liquid foundation, Bare Skin Serum Foundation, I couldn't wait to try -- and it's a pretty good foundation. I still wear it quite a bit, though the coverage is more natural to light, so there are times when it isn't quite enough.
Which is why I was super excited to hear that they were coming out with another liquid foundation, the bareMinerals Bare Pro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation.
The Bare Pro is meant to a full coverage, naturally matte foundation with 24 hour wear.
It comes in a heavy glass bottle with a matte black cap. It also has a pump dispenser, which makes it easy to get out just the right amount.

The foundation has a thin consistency, but its texture is very creamy so it blends easily into the skin.
I'm not entirely sure I would classify this as full coverage -- I have one dark freckle that still peeks through when I'm wearing it -- but it's pretty damn close.
Like a full coverage foundation for everyday, maybe?
It covers nearly everything but doesn't look or feel heavy at all.
I think "natural matte" is a good description of the finish -- it isn't dewy in the slightest, but it doesn't look dry or flat at all.
It's oil-free and has an SPF20, too.
The foundation isn't drying or hydrating, so I feel like it would work for almost all skin types except extremely oily or extremely dry.
Oh, as far as the 24 hour wear goes? Personally, I think that's marketing BS -- is there any foundation in the world that could last that long? And why would anyone want it to?
It does last "all day" for me, though, which probably amounts to 9 or 10 hours without any issue.
I purchased the foundation in the lightest shade, Fair 01, and it's a pretty good match for my fair skin. It's probably a tinge too yellow, but it's not noticeable when blended out.

All in all, I am a pretty big fan of this foundation. It's definitely become one of my go-to's in the month or so that I've had it.
It retails for $34, and is available on the bareMinerals website, Sephora, and Ulta.
Have you tried the new bareMinerals Bare Pro Foundation? Are you a fan?
