Bare Essentials Mineral Makeup: A Review of Mineral Makeup by Bare Essentials



Custom Search


Price

The price for Bare Essentials mineral makeup is middle of the range for most quality mineral makeup products. A full starter kit typically retails for just under $100, but includes a foundation base, bronzer, blusher, finishing powder, shimmer powder, smoothing cream, brushes, instructional video and how-to booklet.

Quality

Overall, the quality of this product is great. The basic foundation and base sets do an excellent job and provide the results they promise. Users get a lightweight foundation that's smooth and gives skin a healthy glow. The other great deal? The brushes every buyer gets with each kit purchase. Purchased separately, the brushes might be as much as the kit itself.

However, the company's other products, like their eye shadows, tend to fall flat and customers might be better off getting their eye colors from a non-mineral makeup company.

Ease of Use

When it comes to Bare Essentials mineral makeup, you have to know how to apply it. So, if you simply delve right into it without watching the tutorial or getting a lesson at your local makeup counter, you're not likely to get it right.

However, once you get the hang of it, the product goes on quickly and easily. It typically takes about 5 to 8 minutes to go from a freshly washed face to a complete foundation base with blush and shimmer powder.

Products You'll Love

Probably the best product sold by Bare Essentials is the mineral veil. It's a translucent powder that adds the perfect finishing touch to your foundation base. The finish is flawless and it just takes your skin from drab to pink and dewy in seconds. Even if you're not wearing the full makeup, a light sprinkle of Mineral Veil can make a huge difference.

Products to Avoid

As mentioned earlier, the Bare Essentials eye makeup products leave something to be desired. If you're looking for an eye liner or powder that you can control, then you need to look elsewhere. With these wet and dry mineral powders, you're not going to get definition, instead you'll be looking at smudges and a constant smoky-eye look.

Another note, be careful when applying the Warmth All Over Face Color. It's a dark bronzer and one over-zealous sweep of the brush could leave you looking dirty, not sun-kissed.

The Final Verdict

Overall, Bare Essentials Mineral Makeup is a good buy, if you go with the basic starter kit that includes all the essential foundation powders and the brushes that you need to get started. The product does what it says, works as well as it claims and it's a good deal. Remember though, avoid the eyeshadows, but embrace the blushes.
