Details & care

What it is: A good-for-skin, high-performance liquid foundation that blurs pores and imperfections while improving the appearance of skin texture over time.

Who it's for: Anyone who wants full coverage and a natural matte finish.

What it does: The photo-friendly, lightweight foundation provides 24-hour wear. It's powered by specially developed Mineral Lock™ Long-Wear Technology, which blends mineral pigments with lipids naturally found in skin to lock in all-day full-coverage wear. Natural bamboo stem extract provides a smooth, soft-focus finish, while papaya enzymes gently improve skin's texture both immediately and over time. This self-setting foundation is transfer resistant and color true, and available in a wide range of shades.

Research results:
In an independent clinical trial of 31 women:
- 100% saw a 36% improvement in skin texture after the first week.
- 100% of women tested experienced improvement in their skin's texture and hydration immediately upon application.
- 100% of women tested experienced a significant improvement in the appearance of pore size after three weeks.

How to use: Pump the foundation onto the back of your hand. Start with one pump but add more to build coverage if desired. Pick up foundation with your brush. Starting in the center of your face and working outward, blend into skin using short, downward strokes. Blend well into your jawline and hairline to ensure an even appearance that looks like skin, not foundation.

Mixed Experience

I've been using this product for about a month and a half now. I've found that applying this with my fingers works best. However, very difficult to layer without looking cakey. I spent about an entire week or two researching this product before buying, watching many videos and demos with + and -, or mixed reviews. After first applying, this can be very sticky feeling and hard to put other products over. I've found it helpful to apply my bareMinerals brightening serum concealer BEFORE applying this. It helps with blendability a lot, as well as layering. However, I have noticed that this product [or a combination of this with my Clinique Perfectly Real Powder, on top, does not work well and] makes me break out. Very difficult to remove this make-up off of my face (, which could contribute to breaking out). Even after washing twice, I still have the foundation all over my face. So, I'd definitely say this is long-lasting! I have combination oily skin, and I do notice a little settling of the foundation--mainly around my nose and smile lines. Strong moderate to high coverage--depends on layering. I will continue to use this to see whether I can perfect this foundation. Sticks to dry skin areas, so make sure to moisturize and exfoliate those areas beforehand. However, this wasn't a huge issue for me because my skin isn't very acne prone nor dry, but I did notice this while I was sick and my skin got a little drier.

BAREPRO® Performance Wear Liquid Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the BAREPRO® Performance Wear Liquid Foundation SPF 20. It gives great coverage while still feeling lightweight and comfortable on my skin. It blends smoothly, helps even out my complexion, and gives a polished, natural-looking finish without feeling too heavy.I also appreciate that it wears well throughout the day and doesn’t seem to fade quickly. The added SPF 20 is a nice bonus for everyday wear. A little goes a long way, and the coverage is easy to build in areas where I need a bit more.Overall, this is a dependable foundation that gives long-lasting coverage while still looking natural. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you want something that holds up well throughout the day.

Doesn't have a natural appearance on my skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the full size but it just doesn't look as natural on my face as the original powder foundation I've been using for 20 years.

Please bring back the original formula

This makes me so sad! I loved this foundation ever since I tried it, and have been using it for years, but like all the other reviews, the new version is not the same. It's cakey and doesn't match the previous colours. Please bring back the OG version.
