Bare Essentials Makeup: A Review of Bare Essentials Foundation and Makeup
Bare Essentials makeup is an amazing business success story – from a line that was sold exclusively on television to a major makeup company that can now be found in stores like Sephora and Nordstrom's across the country.
But, does it live up to all the hype? Does it really work?
Keep reading for a complete review of Bare Essentials.
Price
The Bare Minerals Getting Started Kit typically retails for between $70 and $100, depending on where you purchase it and any deals or specials. Usually, the best bargains can be found not in retail stores, but on television or through the Bare Minerals website.
The price is a little high, but consumers get five products and some great brushes, which are actually fairly good quality and make this kit a great value. For those on a budget or who simply want to try the product out, the company offers a smaller, sample kit at $60.00.
Ease of Use
Unfortunately, if you don't know how to use your Bare Essentials makeup, it's not going to look good. After purchasing my kit, I attempted to delve right in without viewing the how-to DVD. The results were horrendous.
After watching the DVD, I opted to stop it in at a local department store with a Bare Essentials counter. The salesperson gave me a full tutorial on how to apply the makeup and store it. The results? Seamless.
So, admittedly, the product isn't intuitive and most consumers will either need to watch the DVD tutorial or visit a retail location for a complete tutorial. It also takes about five to ten minutes to go through all the steps, meaning it's a little time-consuming for those on the go.
Actual Product
When applied properly, Bare Essentials looks great. It's not cakey and it never looks overdone. The finish is smooth and seamless, and the overall coverage is great. Also, because it's a mineral, it won't clog or suffocate your pores, meaning your skin won't suffer.
Most users will want to go easy on the bronzer powder, it's a little overpowering. Also, while the foundation and base kits are great, the eye makeup and lip powders could probably be skipped. Most users will find them hard to use and not as effective or easy to control as other makeup products.
So, if you're looking for something light, but effective, then Bare Essentials makeup is a great way to go.
