The Bare Escentials mineral makeup brand was first introduced in 1998 in San Francisco Bay and is now distributed all over the world. It is a make-up brand well known for their mineral ine called bareMinerals. This line of make-up is free of preservatives, fillers or binders and is 100% pure. It has a zero irritability factor making it ideal even for the most sensitive skin types. Its CEO and complexion expert, Leslie Blodgett, insisted on having real women give their testimonials on how effective bareMinerals is, and these women also served as models for the make-up line.
Bare Escentials has a range of mineral make-up products that have gathered different beauty awards from well-known magazines. The most popular product in their line would be the bareMinerals Original SPF 15 Mineral Foundation. It utilizes “pure, crushed minerals from the earth”, and the powder is free from talc, preservatives, binders, oil, fragrance and waxes. It has SPF (sun protection factor) to provide protection from the harmful rays of the sun. The powder is very easy to apply and is very lightweight. It gives very good coverage and it acts as a good base for the rest of your make-up. Also, as it is mineral makeup, it acts as a wonderful “healer” and concealer for your skin imperfections.
The company has also came up with another bestseller, the bareMinerals Mineral Veil. The popularity of this product skyrocketed when it was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show as the product being used by Oprah every day. This mineral powder can be used as loose powder on top of a liquid or mineral foundation makeup, or it can be used alone. The effect is the same – a smooth and perfect finish.
Bare Escentials also has a unique product called the MultiTasking id Bare Minerals, and this line of product serves several purposes. It can be used as a concealer, eyeshadow base, mineral eyeshadow, foundation and loose powder. An all in one product that gives you your money’s worth!
What I like best about the entire cosmetic line would be the “get started” kits. Each kit contains a DVD that gives you a demonstration on how you can apply the product as well as the correct shade for you and the correct way of applying. Mineral make-up is applied by brush in round strokes, making it very different from make-up applied using a flocked sponge or your fingers.
It does not stop there; they also offer a line of skin care products to help you more in maintaining healthy and young-looking skin. This line is called MD Formulations, and it has everything from cleansers for all skin types, corrective serums, moisturizers, sunblocks, quick fix products called “the TEMPS”, eye creams, anti-aging creams, firming treatment masques, and other products like body scrubs and creams.
The company has definitely come a long way; this is because they give importance to the quality of their product. Bare Escentials mineral makeup products are definitely a must try for women who are in constant search for products that would make a dramatic improvement in their skin!
