How to Apply Bare Minerals

By Giselle Diamond

  • Overview

    Over the past few years, there's been a rapid increase in the number of people learning how to apply Bare Minerals, or switching to this new and unique cosmetic range. If you wish to know why, you'll first need to know what Bare Minerals is all about. Unlike the vast range of pseudo-synthetic cosmetics used by people the world over. Bare Minerals is a makeup that is completely free of preservatives, additives, binding agents, chemicals and fragrances; it is also formulated from 100% pure and natural minerals. This is the very reason why it is so popular, especially among people looking for pure ingredients in their choice of cosmetics, or those with sensitive skin.
    • Step 1

      Visit the Bare Minerals website and ask for the catalog. Then, order the makeup products which have colors and formulations best suited for your type of skin.
    • Step 2

      Wash your face well with a quality face soap and water, and wipe it completely dry. Then, take the "Skin Rev-Er Upper" and apply a few spurts to your face. This product is specially formulated to enhance skin glow and has vitamins that also gives a smooth surface to your skin and helps makeup application. If desired, you may apply Bare Minerals Foundation Primer, which is ideal to fill in wrinkles and pores and further enhance skin smoothness.


    • Step 3

      Open your Bare Minerals foundation, and put a little of it into the upturned lid. Then, dip both sides of your Max Coverage Concealer brush into the foundation in the lid. Remove any excess foundation by tapping the brush on the rim of the lid. Now, lightly pass the Concealer brush with the foundation over your face, starting with gentle strokes around the nose, under the eyes, and over blemishes that you may wish to hide.
    • Step 4

      Dip the Flawless face brush into the same foundation that you placed in the lid (see step three). Again, to remove any excess foundation from the brush, tap the brush on the rim of the lid. Then, apply the foundation evenly to all facial areas.
    • Step 5

      Take the Bare Minerals Warmth powder and put a little of into its upturned lid. Dip the Flawless face brush into the Warmth powder in the lid, and tap off any excess powder on the rim of the lid. Then, apply the Warmth powder over areas of the face that usually get suntanned, such as the cheekbones, nose and forehead.
    • Step 6

      Reach for your Bare Minerals Veil and put some of it into its upturned lid. Dip the Flawless face brush into the lid, and then apply the mineral veil by using short sweeps of the brush all over your face. Bare Minerals Veil will seal your makeup effectively and help to enhance the tone of your skin, hide any blemishes, and give it a natural, well-finished effect.
