bareMinerals Makeup

A natural makeup line, bareMinerals was created by Bare Essentials as an alternative to traditional products. The original idea was to provide a mineral-based, powder foundation that appears natural and feels light on the skin. The brand has grown to provide a wide range of products designed for uses from everyday wear to a bolder look for a night out.

bareMinerals makeup is made from natural minerals like titanium dioxide, zinc, iron oxide, and mica. Its foundations, lipsticks, eye shadows, and other products are designed to give you full coverage without the use of preservatives, binders, oils, dyes, or parabens.

Foundations are formulated to enhance your complexion while preserving your skin. Their mineral base offers SPF 15 or higher and may naturally block UVA/UVB rays. The makeup provides a degree of everyday sun protection for short periods of exposure when you might not think to apply an additional sunscreen.

This company does not test on animals or use animal byproducts. The brand has been certified by PETA as cruelty-free.

The bareMinerals collection includes dozens of options, including:

• Face makeup: You can choose a powder like the Original SPF 15 Foundation or a liquid like the Pure Brightening Serum Foundation with SPF 20. Concealers are available in cream and liquid formulas. There are also powder blushes and bronzers.
• Eye makeup: This category includes cream and powder eye shadows, mascara, liquid eyeliner, and an eyebrow pencil with a styling brush.
• Lip products: Traditional lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, plumping lip gloss, lip lacquer, and lip pencils are available.

The Mineral Veil Finishing powder is brushed over your foundation and blends with your skin tone. It was developed to provide a soft matte finish, minimize lines, and soften the overall look of your complexion. It is formulated with vitamin C and lilac plant stems to help brighten your complexion. It may also help retain moisture. There is also a version called bareSkin Perfecting Veil, which comes in a compact.

This mineral makeup line is made for all types of skin, in a wide range of skin tones. Whether you are looking for a foundation, concealer, or powder, it's likely you can find a product to complement your complexion. You can start by choosing a type of foundation, then selecting one of six categories of shades, ranging from fair to light to deep. Each has several hues, and there are visual guides to help you choose the one that's right for you.
