Bare Escentuals

How do I use my bareMinerals Foundation?

Applying bareMinerals is as easy as 1, 2, 3 (or in our case SWIRL, TAP, BUFF). Watch our video of Swirl, Tap, Buff® to find out more.

How do I clean my Bare Escentuals brushes?

Clean makeup brushes using BE Brush Conditioning Shampoo. With soapy water in the palm of your hand, gently swirl the brush until it is clean. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Squeeze out excess water. Fluff and reshape the head of brush. Place brush on a flat surface with bristles hanging over the edge to dry.

Why might I need two different tones of bareMinerals Foundation?

You may need two to ensure you a perfect match for your complexion. Some skin tones change from winter to summer, and some women like to blend their bareMinerals for different looks. You'll find that the minerals are very forgiving and that two tones will give you more options.

Can bareMinerals Foundation really give me complete coverage?

bareMinerals cover a wide range of skin imperfections, including sun spots, rosacea, and acne. You can apply as much or as little as you like to achieve the look of flawless, beautiful bare skin.

Do bareMinerals work with problem skin?

Yes, bareMinerals have protective and calming benefits. bareMinerals are recommended by dermatologists and other skincare professionals, and are perfect for a range of skin conditions including acne, rosacea, sensitive skin, dry skin and oily skin.

Will bareMinerals conceal fine lines and wrinkles?

Traditional makeup can settle into lines on the face. bareMinerals have a creamy texture that buff onto your skin flawlessly and will not settle into lines and wrinkles. In fact, bareMinerals' unique, natural luminosity actually refracts light away from lines and wrinkles, softening the look of your skin.

I have oily skin and get shiny during the day. What should I do?

Mineral Veil will absorb oil and will give you a natural, shine-free, natural finish.

Do bareMinerals offer sun protection?

Yes! bareMinerals are chemical-free and contain SPF 15.
