How to Use Bare Naturale Makeup

A lot of dermatologists agree that mineral makeup that doesn't contain additives, preservatives, or chemicals that can irritate or damage the skin is the healthiest type of makeup to use. L'Oreal's Bare Naturale is one of the best on the market today. Billed as a product that improves the skin as you wear it, women also appreciate the smooth, flawless, even-toned complexion that it creates.Although Bare Naturale does not claim to be hypoallergenic, it is considered a gentle makeup because it is totally free of the typical fragrances and preservatives that most often cause allergic reactions. More than that, however, Bare Naturale provides a highly recommended UVA suncreen and the protection of SPF19. It's the best of all worlds.

Things You'll Need

• Bare Naturale Mineral Products
• Makeup Brushes
• Makeup Remover (Preferably Non-Toxic and Fragrance-Free)

Instructions

How to Use Bare Naturale Make-up

1. Remove any previously applied makeup. Use a gentle, preferably non-toxic and fragrance-free makeup remover. A fragrance- and alcohol-free baby wipe will work. Those with aloe and vitamin E are even better because they help to moisturize the skin as they remove makeup as well as any dirt and grime buildup.

2. Apply a skin moisturizer. Moisturized skin takes mineral makeup better and helps to achieve a truly flawless looking complexion. Apply sunscreen as needed, if Bare Naturale's SPF 19 coverage is insufficient.

3. Begin with a foundation that matches the skin tone. Lightly buff the foundation into the skin. If needed, apply extra foundation over problem areas like red patches, blemishes, or scars with a small pointed brush made for that purpose. Blend.

4. Choose a contrasting mineral powder to highlight certain areas of your face, such as the eyelids, cheekbones or to contour the nose.

5. Apply Bare Naturale mineral eyeliner using the product’s unique, thin slanted application brush built right into the product jar. Beginning at the inner corner of the eye, sweep the liner gently across the lid to the outer eye corner. If a smokier look is desired, smudge the liner carefully with the end of a make-up sponge applicator or a Q-Tip.

6. Complete eye makeup application with Bare Naturale Mascara. Sweep the mascara onto the lashes in thin, even coats. One to two coats should give perfect coverage.

7. Choose a Bare Naturale lip conditioner for the sheerest of mineral color.

Tips & Warnings

• Use makeup brushes that are especially designed for a specific application purpose.

• As with most make-up products, less means more. Don’t cake on layers of any Bare Naturale product.

• Avoid getting product into the eyes or it may slightly irritate.

• Do not tug or pull at the delicate skin around the eyes during makeup application.
