It can apply directly over the face or could be mixed up with a cream or powder to get better results.
Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals MATTE SPF 15 Foundation, Medium Beige
Like always, this matte base foundation of Bare Minerals was unique in its own ways. Although the result was no different from the other two products, the only difference was the matte finish over the face. For a heavy, oily skin like mine, it performed well for over 8 hours after application which was quite a feat in itself. The application part was so easy, just a swirl of the application brush to pick and tuck the foundation particles and stroke evenly to spread the foundation all over the face.
If you have oily skin type, one of these foundations could provide you a complete look, avoid the embarrassment of appearing patches and most important these products have been developed keeping in consideration the sensitivity of oily skins.
All I could say choosing from one of these products could change the way you put make up, the frequency of touch ups and most important would keep that extra grease from appearing on the face spoiling the entire fun of putting on the makeup.
