Overview
BareMinerals is the makeup line made by Bare Escentuals; the makeup is made with crushed minerals and provides adjustable coverage for all skin types. The mineral-enriched products are designed to improve the health of the skin over time and also reduce the risk of breakouts, allergies and skin irritation.
Effects
BareMinerals makeup can be applied in layers to achieve a flawless look and illuminate the face. The setting powder helps the makeup stay on the skin for long periods of time and can be used day or night to achieve the optimal finish. BareMinerals does not leave behind residue and provides nearly translucent coverage with its weightless formula.
Benefits
BareMinerals makeup may be particularly beneficial for individuals who have acne, sensitive skin or skin that becomes easily irritated from liquid makeup. The makeup line is made with all-natural ingredients that do not settle into the pores; this helps reduce the risk of breakouts and skin irritation, leaving the skin looking smoother, luminous and more youthful. Because the makeup can be layered easily, people with an uneven skin tone or ruddy complexion can still achieve a flawless look.
Features
Key ingredients used throughout the bareMinerals makeup line include titanium oxide, zinc oxide, mica, bismuth oxychloride and various iron oxides. These ingredients are not mixed with any synthetic chemicals or compounds, and they can be applied to the skin using a large puffy kabuki brush or a soft angled brush. BareMinerals makeup is available in different foundation colors and an assortment of color palettes to match every skin tone.
Products
The bareMinerals makeup line comprises six shades of makeup: Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, Warm Tan and Deep. Other products available as part of the bareMinerals line include All-Over Face Color, Shimmer Eye Shadow, bareVitamins Prime Time makeup primer, Essential Brow Color, Full Flawless Face Brush, Eyeliner Brush, bareMinerals Eye Quickies, Tapered Shadow Brush, bareMinerals Skin Rev-er Upper and bareMinerals Liner Shadow. Many products are available at Sephora stores and on Sephora.com, but they can also be purchased via QVC.com, eBay, Amazon.com and other online retailers.
Considerations
The bareMinerals Starter Kit contains the basic products to create the flawless look; it contains two shades of the SPF 15 Foundation, a Mineral Veil finishing powder, a Flawless Application Face Brush, a Buki Brush, a Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush and a how-to guide that outlines the steps and techniques for applying the bareMinerals makeup. Bare Escentuals boutiques sell the complete line of bareMinerals products, but the trial offer for the starter kit is only available online.
