Common Pitfalls
There are not many pitfalls to bareMinerals. One is that bareMinerals can only be purchased in certain stores or online. Finding the right foundation shade can be difficult without hands-on access to the product, but a shade match guarantee should cover any problems. People with dry skin must moisturize first, to alleviate any skin flakes that a mineral foundation might bring to the surface. The primers also help with skin flakes. bareMinerals products do come in small jars, but so little is needed that the makeup lasts a long time.
Where To Buy
bareMinerals can be purchased online at BareEscentuals.com or at Sephora, Ulta, OVC and Nordstorm. BareEscentuals.com offers a Find Stores search option to locate a store near you. The best place to purchase is from the main website. The money back guarantees and kits can only be purchased there. Amazon and Ebay also are options, but they are not endorsed bareMinerals retailers.
Cost
bareMinerals ranges in price from $10 to $60. While they are more expensive than drugstore brands, bareMinerals products lasts a great deal longer because so little is needed to achieve the desired result. bareMinerals website offers a 30 day money back guarantee for all products. Join bareMinerals club and receive three "essentials" at a bargain price. The club offers a 15 percent savings. The essentials include foundation, mineral veil and a choice of mascara or foundation primer.
Comparison Shopping
Due to the enormous success of bareMinerals, many companies now offer mineral makeup options. While they may offer the same type of product, they do not offer the risk-free trial that bareMinerals does. You may like the color choices of other brands, but bareMinerals is increasing its colors for shadows, foundation, bronzers and lip glosses. bareMinerals only has five ingredients in its products. Other mineral makeup companies have more ingredients. Checking labels will ensure you are receiving the most pure form.
Accessories
bareMinerals getting started kit includes all the brushes you need, and the tutorials show you how to use them. They offer other brushes, including the favorite Kabuki brush for application of Mineral Veil and bronzer. The Kabuki brush has a hydrate and antibacterial property to prevent the breakdown of the water-encapsulated Hydrating Mineral Veil formula. There is a travel size refillable buffing brush, makeup cases and travel compacts. bareMinerals also offers a conditioning brush shampoo and a quick change brush cleaner for your brushes.
Insider Tips
Every bareMinerals kit comes with insider tips and tricks. The foundations, shadows, bronzers and lip colors can be mixed to achieve the perfect match and new original colors. Less is more with bareMinerals. You need very little to create daytime or nighttime looks. Mix the bisque concealer with the eye or skin rever-upper to hide problem areas. Mineral Veil can be used to set makeup, even on the eyelids, to maintain the matte finish throughout the day. Dipping your eyeliner brush into water before dipping it into the powder will create a thicker application, similar to a liquid liner.
