As you know Bare Minerals has launched a new product called bare minerals matte. Now before I get into the benefits and differences between the matte and the original, I would like to give some attention to the packaging. Genius!!!  How many times have you dropped your jar and the entire contents spills all over the floor; or you throw it in your purse and when you open it up all the powder is in the lid!  Well now we have “click, lock, go”. Why did we not think of this sooner? Now when you throw the container in your purse or drop it,  the powder stays in the bottom, no more mess!  

Now for the two main differences between the new matte formula and the original. The matte formula contains no mica. Mica can be very reflective. This is why we did not use the original formula for weddings. Second, the matte formula contains active soil complex. Active soil complex does amazing things for your skin. From evening out skin tone to helping decrease the dimension of your pores. I also find that you get more coverage with the matte formula. However if you have dry skin you may want to stick with the original formula.

We have been testing  Matte with some of our photographers over the past 6 months and we are happy to say that it photographs beautifully!
