I spent hours trying to figure out my shade and also contacted Jane Iredale customer service to figure out the best shade for me. I bought shade M9 and it looked horrible on me. It was too dark and it looked very odd like orange. So I returned, and decided to stick to the Jane Iredale powders since I don't need much coverage anyway. My skin tone is Medium to tan and I am of Latina heritage.

This covers much better than the liquid minerals product and is what I wanted. If I wear it without a primer underneath it does make my skin feel more tight. With primer I feel it spreads out better. As someone else mentioned, the cap doesn't come off easily. In fact the first time I pulled it off with the pump and all, this could be improved.

I chose the M2 shade for my fair complexion. Product is easy to apply and allows for good coverage for my 60+ year old face. I usually top it off with a powder of similar color in the winter or a bronzer if I feel I am looking a bit too pale. I seem to stick with Jane Iredale products. They work for me.

I received a sample of this foundation with another order I placed from Dermstore, and I loved it so much I went ahead and bought it. I look really nice and fresh with this foundation on, and it isn't cakey at all. It smooths out my skin tone very nicely, and is very moisturizing and leaves my skin velvety smooth. I have some hyperpigmentation from acne, and I would say this isn't a full coverage foundation. The only thing I don't like about it is the packaging. The pump dispenser portion of the bottle gets stuck inside the cap, and it's hard to unscrew them-so I keep the product cap off. Not sure if this will cause the formula to go bad quicker with the exposure to the air, but otherwise a nice product.

I was looking for more coverage than the pressed powder. This went on a bit chalky and did not last. Not sure about the other positive review. This is just a super fail product. The top is also difficult to get off.

I moisturize very well when I use this foundation. It has a beautiful natural finish that covers without looking caked or heavy.

Love this foundation! I used the Jane Iredale Liquid Mineral Foundation for over a year but the coverage was inconsistent and felt greasy at times. It seems to absorb into my dry patches and wrinkles making them more obvious. However, the Beyond Matte Foundation provides great coverage and does not show my wrinkles as much. I've actually stopped using concealer under my eyes because this foundation covers seamlessly without that extra creasing that happens with the concealer. I have sensitive skin and have no issues with irritation as long as I clean my foundation brush often. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to like this foundation because my esthetician recommended it to me-well sort of-my spa carries Jane Iredale and she mentioned they are pretty skin-friendly. Maybe I just chose the wrong product of theirs, but man, this foundation is not at all worth the money. First, it seems highly pigmented, but when messaged into skin, it doesn't cover much at all. Second, it IMMEDIATELY melts off of dark spots and blemishes and right into your pores. It doesn't dry matte-it's actually pretty oily, not even dewy. Loose powder couldn't even set this on my skin! It's worth noting that I'm on Accutane right now so my skin is pretty flaky, but I still expected more from this product.

For reference I'm blonde hair blue eyes with light skin and very yellow undertones. I also have combination/oily skin so I was hoping this would be great for my skin type. The color was spot on it matched my undertones perfectly and the formula was nice and comfortable on the skin. However, that's about all I have nice to say about this foundation. Even though it felt comfortable and not drying it made my skin look like a snake. It clung to any even slightly dry spots and it looked very dull and flat on my skin. I tried wearing this 3-4 different times just to make sure it just wasn't a bad skin day and it was the same result every time. I gave it 4 stars bc the color is so nice.

The product is matte, but the coverage isn't quite what I expected. The color is wonderful and I guess I could layer for more coverage.
