Face Makeup

Because mineral makeup is free from parabens, binders, and fillers, it’s the better choice for sensitive skin (or those with acne, rosacea, and eczema). But truthfully, each of our skin-loving formulas benefits all skin types–not just sensitive ones. It’s hypoallergenic, long-lasting, full of anti-inflammatory properties and more!

If you look at the ingredients of most finishing powders, setting powders, or powder foundation, you’ll likely come across talc. While some people may not react to it, individuals with sensitive skin may experience rashes or flare ups. That’s why we created talc free makeup products–so everyone can feel good about applying it to their face.

Begin with a clean, moisturized face. Apply a foundation, blending it evenly using a brush, sponge, or fingertips. Use concealer to cover any blemishes and brighten the under-eye areas. Set with translucent powder. Define your brows using a brow pencil and/or gel. Apply eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara to accentuate your eyes. Add color to the cheeks with blush to your cheeks and use bronzer to contour and add warmth. Apply highlighter to your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. Complete the look with a lip liner, lipstick, or lip gloss.

Mineral makeup is clean, pure and naturally protective. It is formulated using finely ground natural minerals like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, mica, and iron oxides. It's known for its lightweight feel and often provides buildable coverage. Mineral makeup is often preferred by those with sensitive skin because it has natural ingredients and minimal use of additives. Learn more about Mineral Makeup, here.

Vegan makeup does not have any animal-derived ingredients or by-products including, but not limited to, ingredients like beeswax, carmine, and lanolin. Vegan makeup brands use plant-based or synthetic alternatives to create their products.

The longevity of makeup wear varies based on factors such as skin type, product quality, and environmental conditions. Using a primer, setting spray, and high-quality products with longwear claims can help extend its wear time.

Skincare plays an important role in prepping the skin for makeup application. Once you have clean and moisturized skin, apply a makeup primer. This will create a smooth base that helps makeup adhere better and last longer. You can also use an eye primer for your eyelids. Allow moisturizers and primers to set before applying the rest of your makeup.

Highlighter should be applied to areas where the light naturally hits the face. This typically includes the high points of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the cupid's bow, and the inner corners of your eyes.

Makeup separation can occur due to a variety of reasons, including using incompatible products, not allowing products to dry properly before layering, or excessive oiliness. Using a good primer, using products from the same formulation (e.g., oil-based with oil-based), and setting with powder can help prevent separation.

A good face primer can create a smooth base and help makeup last longer. bareMinerals has four primer options to choose from which minimize pores, reduces redness, hydrates and SPF.

Eyeshadow can be applied before or after foundation. If you're doing a dramatic or colorful eye look, applying eyeshadow before foundation would make more sense so it could be easily cleaned up without affecting face makeup. For more natural or minimal looks, applying it after foundation works as well. Some people also use a setting powder or eyeshadow primer to minimize fallout.
