Hi ladies!

I am debating whether I should pay the extra $3 for BareMinerals Matte... (I know $3 isn't alot...but it is actually 10% more!)
I have used both.. and really can't tell a big difference between the two. Should I just ditch the Matte and go back to Original?

What are your opinions/preferences?
Which do you like better and why?

I don't have combination skin with occasional acne. (WHY am i still battling with acne at age 26? sigh)

Thanks April.

If you think they both look the same, then you should go with the cheaper one!! Perhaps the mattifying effect of the Matte lasts longer? If so, then that would be better for you if you prefer that look.

I personally use Jane Iredale - sure if this helps you lol

And do you mean you DO have combo skin with occasional acne? Razz

Hi April,

I have only ever used the regular, but for what it's worth if it were me and I saw no difference between the 2 I would opt for the cheaper one! Laughing

Sorry about the acne (and don't hate me) I have never had that issue so I will let someone else respond to that. Very Happy
