mineral Powder foundation- BareMinerals supply issues

Help. I have really reactive skin on face, allergic style reaction to products, so I stick to what I know. Sometimes having to stop using products if ingredients change.

I’ve been using bareMinerals original foundation, shade Fairly light, for about 14 years. Can’t find it anywhere. Tried Elizabeth Arden mineral powder foundation, barely any coverage. Tried Avon - total crap and caused itching.

I’m no where near a department store anytime soon to try stuff. I don’t want to keep ordering stuff that doesn’t work

I switched from Bare minerals to Honeypie minerals a while ago - better coverage and no bismuth. I got it from Amazon.

Bareminerals are having takeover issues.
there’s some Fairly Light on Amazon here www.amazon.co.uk/BareMinerals-Original-Foundation-Number-Fairly/dp/B007HTT88M/ref=asc_df_B007HTT88M/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310778791896&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3948288924985616468&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006959&hvtargid=pla-454306297865&th=1

oops, horrible link, sorry.

They also have changed the names of everything, so when their site is up sometime in April, check out the new names.
I now use a pressed one called Aspen (same as fairly light) but apparently that’s changed name since.

Mine comes from Elemental Beauty www.elementalbeauty.co.uk/

I have two colours of the foundation powder so can custom blend to my own skin tone exactly.

Have you tired GOSH mineral foundation? It's the best one I've tried. Best foundation I've tried actually. Superdrug don't sell it anymore but you can still buy it online and it's 3 for 2 at the moment.

Quick update, I spoke with Bare Minerals, supply issues are not going to resolved anytime soon, blaming Ukraine war and global supply chain issues. So I’ve ordered from Elemental Beauty recommend by PP, also starting to like the Elizabeth Arden product.

The Amazon one is possibly counterfeit

Have a look at Lily Lolo, their mineral foundation is very good and in loads of shades.

Yes I have very sensitive skin and have used Lily Lolo for years, they do a better colour range than bare minerals as well.
