bareMinerals Matte Liquid Foundation Medium 35N (1 oz) — Full-Coverage, SPF 20 Oil-Control

This foundation combines mineral sunscreen with oil-absorbing ingredients to deliver a long-wearing, matte look while feeling light on the skin. Formulated without synthetic fragrance and designed to be non-comedogenic and vegan, it blends buildable coverage with active skin-friendly ingredients like pomegranate peel extract, silica, vitamin E and zinc oxide.

How does this foundation control shine without feeling heavy?

The formula uses silica and oil-absorbing powders to mattify the complexion while maintaining a lightweight, liquid texture that layers easily. It reduces visible shine and helps skin look more even without the cakey finish heavier formulas can create.

• Silica helps blur pores and reduce surface oil.
• Lightweight, non-greasy base suitable for layering.
• Buildable coverage lets you adjust from medium to full without thickness.

Will this foundation be gentle on sensitive or acne-prone skin?

bareMinerals formulated this product to be non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, aiming to provide coverage without blocking pores. The oil-free composition and absence of synthetic fragrance reduce common irritants for reactive skin types.

• Non-comedogenic and acne-safe formulation.
• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk.
• Lightweight texture avoids heavy pore-clogging residues.

What sun protection and skin-benefit ingredients are included?

The foundation contains zinc oxide to provide mineral-based SPF 20 protection, along with antioxidants and brightening-support ingredients. These components work together to offer daily mineral defense while contributing to a more even-looking tone.

• Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum mineral SPF 20.
• Pomegranate peel extract supports a brighter-looking undertone.
• Vitamin E helps give antioxidant support and skin-conditioning benefits.

How should I apply it for the best, most natural-looking finish?

Shake the bottle well, pump a small amount onto the center of the face, and blend outward. Use a dense brush, sponge, or fingertips to buff the product for seamless coverage; build coverage only where needed to keep the finish natural and matte.

• Shake bottle, pump onto face, blend from center outward.
• Use a synthetic brush or sponge for even application.
• Layer thinly for medium coverage or add more for fuller coverage in targeted areas.

Who is this for: This foundation is intended for people seeking full, matte coverage that controls oil and resists transfer—especially those with oily, combination, or mature skin types who prefer a non-greasy, mineral-sunscreen formula. It’s also a good option for anyone avoiding synthetic fragrances or looking for a vegan, cruelty-free, non-comedogenic base with SPF protection.
