Finding that holy grail foundation to enhance your natural radiance is a beauty challenge we can all come face-to-face with. Liquids, creams, powders, it can all feel a little bit… well… overwhelming. Thankfully, we’re here to put your foundation dilemmas to bed as we share a one-size-fits all formula that’s our best-kept secret for radiant skin.


What is it, we hear you ask? Loose powder foundation. We’re giving you the low down on our tried-and-true formula, bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF15 and showing you why it’s the UK’s No.1 Prestige Loose Powder Foundation*. We’ll even talk you through how to use it in your beauty routine in three simple steps.


Why use a loose powder foundation?


The real question is why wouldn’t you? Loose powder foundation has come a long way since the days of dry, cakey formulas. Now powder foundation experts are getting the recognition they deserve, with one award-winning classic remaining at the forefront (can you guess which skin-loving icon we’re talking about?).


bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF15 boasts an attractive list of benefits making it a staple in our make-up routines. Not only is it non-drying, helping you wave goodbye to those pesky dry patches, but it also offers buildable coverage, letting you take control. So, whether you like a sheer base or prefer to amp up the coverage, the choice is yours.   


When it comes to radiance, bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF15 can offer this in abundance. Formulas designed with microfine powders help promote healthier-looking skin over time, blurring over pores and imperfections. The best part? They even help stop powder from settling into fine lines and wrinkles, providing you with a flawless base – perfection!


Loose powder vs. liquid foundation


Thinking of switching from a liquid to a loose powder foundation? Although there are some great hydrating liquid formulas out there, looking at the benefits of loose powder foundation alone is enough to make you want to switch up your beauty routine.

Loose powder foundations are famed for their longevity as they generally tend to wear longer from morning to night. Plus, if you need on-the-go touch ups throughout the day, loose powder foundations are great for this as they are housed in a portable compact. Pair those benefits with quick and easy application, plus the ability to blur pores and imperfections, it seems that using a loose powder foundation is a total no brainer.


In terms of which one is better? We’ll let you be the judge…


How to use bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15


A cult classic in the make-up bags of many, bareMinerals Original Loose Powder foundation is one of those tried-and-true formulas, giving you the perfect finish that you’ll keep reaching for time and time again. Infused with five vegan** ingredients, this long-wearing formula provides quick and easy application, blurring pores and imperfections.


Want to learn how to use it to achieve your radiant skin goals? All you need to do is swirl, tap and buff:


Step 1: Swirl


Start by shaking a small amount of powder into the lid of your foundation pot. The trick here is to start light. Pouring out too much product and using it on your brush will give you less control to build up your desired coverage. Take your brush and swirl it around the foundation lid until it disappears into the brush.


Top tip: Swirling your brush for longer works the foundation deep into your brush, allowing the minerals to disperse more evenly which will prevent the formula from applying too heavy.


Step 2: Tap


Next, you want to tap away any excess. Again, this will help you take advantage of the buildable formula. You can always add more after your first application if necessary – one of the perks of using a buildable formula if we do say so ourselves.


Step 3: Buff


Now here comes the fun part, watching the skin-loving benefits of the foundation work its magic on your skin, providing you with a natural luminous finish. Buff your brush onto your skin using circular motions to activate those all-important minerals, transforming the powder to a silky cream.


Repeat until you reach your desired coverage before stepping back and admiring your masterpiece. Radiant skin really is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
