Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals is a popular, new cosmetic and body care company striving to simplify women's lives. Not only are the products easy to apply, they're actually great for your skin! Sure, you've been inundated with countless television commercials advertising these products, but they truly are life-changing! Learn how to apply Bare Minerals makeup and get the healthy, flawless coverage you've always wanted.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Flawless application face brush
  • Bare Minerals foundation
  • Bare Minerals SKIN REV-ER UPPER
  • Mineral Veil powder
  • Bare Minerals radiance

Step1
Before you order Bare Minerals products, it's a great idea to order a comprehensive catalog or visit their website. Not only will you get a complete look at their cosmetic collection, you'll learn which colors and products are best for your skin.
Step2
After cleaning your face with soap and water, apply a few squirts of the SKIN REV-ER UPPER. This product acts as a great pro-vitamin complex complete with salycic and glycolic acid to enhance your skin's glow.
Step3
Allow the SKIN REV-ER UPPER to dry and absorb completely. It truly helps to minimize your pores and preps your skin's surface for the minerals you're about to brush on.
Step4
Remember: less is more. Bare Minerals products are very luxurious and naturally-derived, giving you the opportunity to use less and still achieve the look you want.
Step5
Unscrew the cap on your foundation container. Gently sift minerals from the container through the small holes into the lid. Taking your brush, gently swirl the minerals up into the brush.
Step6
Tap the side of the lid with your brush in order to remove any excess minerals. This will keep your brush from getting caked with too much makeup.
Step7
Gently swirl the minerals over your skin, beginning near your cheeks and covering any problem areas. Always remember to use circular motions as you apply the bare minerals.
Step8
Repeat steps 5-7 with the mineral veil powder and radiance product. Your skin should appear youthful and glowing, with adequate coverage at this point.
Step9
If you find you aren't getting enough coverage, purchase concealer through Bare Minerals to hide trouble spots. Bare Minerals has a plethora of other products, including warmth bronzers for a sun-kissed glow and eye, lip, and sun protection products.

Tips & Warnings

  • When you order the Bare Minerals starter kit, be sure to read the instructions and watch the DVD included. It has great makeup application tips!
  • Avoid dropping your Bare Minerals containers. This may crack them or bring all the minerals to the top, making it more difficult to sift out the amount you wish to use.
