bareMinerals products have been around since 1976, according to an interview with company president Leslie Blodgett, but bareMinerals have grown in popularity since Blodgett joined the company and launched an aggressive advertising campaign in 1994. Mineral makeup is just what the name implies: powder cosmetics made of finely ground minerals made with no added ingredients. According to Blodgett, mineral makeup is popular because it doesn't cause the skin irritation that some other forms of makeup can cause, making it a good choice for people who sensitive skin or are prone to breakouts.
Choosing bareMinerals Products
Step 1
Determine whether your skin is light, medium or dark. Visit bareminerals.com to compare your skin tone to the photos on its site so you can decide which one is closest to your skin color.
Step 2
Decide what undertone your skin has by holding a piece of white paper against your cheek and looking in the mirror. If your skin looks pink next to the paper, your skin has cool overtones. If it looks olive or golden, your skin has warm undertones. If your skin doesn't seem particularly pink or golden, you have neutral undertones.
Step 3
Choose your product using its name. For example, if you have medium skin with olive undertones, choose bareMinerals foundation in Warm Tan. If you have very fair skin with pink undertones, choose foundation in Fair.
