Hello and welcome back, Beauties! I hope youāre all having a fantastic day so far. Iāve told you guys before how much I adore bareMinerals, but realized I havenāt given you guys a comprehensive review of all the items Iāve tried from the brand. So, thatās what weāre going to do today. If youāre interested in hearing about some of the brandās products that Iāve tried, just keep on reading.Ā
bareMinerals is one of the first higher end brands that I tried when it came to complexion products. Even before I got as into makeup as I am now, I was purchasing from them. What drew me in initially was their powder foundation since I wasnāt into liquid foundations then. As my taste in makeup changed, I found that bareMinerals was still a staple brand in my collection. So today, Iām going to share with you my thoughts on the products Iāve tried from the brand.
Now that weāve gotten all that out of the way, letās get into it!
The very first product that I tried from bareMinerals was their Loose Powder Matte Foundation, $29. I think I still have this somewhere in the depths of my collection. I loved it because I could adjust my coverage based on how my skin was acting. I wasnāt wearing primers or anything at that time, so I heavily relied on products themselves to give me what I was looking for without any assistance. Now that my makeup tastes have changed, I donāt find myself reaching for this. Not because itās a bad product, but because I prefer pressed powders now. Iād recommend this to someone that doesnāt like the feel of makeup on their face but wants to even things out.
One face powder that I always go back to, regardless of what other products Iām loving, is the bareSkin Perfecting Veil, $27, in the shade Dark to Deep. Iāve gone through so many of these that I canāt even tell you exactly how many Iāve repurchased. I currently have major pan on one and a backup waiting for me in my backups bag. It does exactly what the name implies, perfect your skin. It does so without making things look cakey or dry. I donāt know what kind of magic they put in this stuff, but Iām definitely into it.
I used to love the Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream, $30, because it was so easy to use and didnāt feel heavy on the skin. Now, Iām not really into tinted moisturizers and such, so I wouldnāt necessarily call it a favorite. I definitely think itās a great product with nice light to medium coverage, but itās just not my vibe anymore. I may revisit it in the summer and see how I feel about it. It comes in twelve shades, which is awesome for a tinted moisturizer, so if thatās what youāre into, Iām sure they have a shade that will work for you.
Iām not going to go on and on about the barePro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation, $34, too much, because I literally canāt stop talking about it as it is. I love this foundation. Itās my favorite foundation right now for sure. The coverage is amazing, t lasts all day on the skin without caking or breaking up, and comes in a wide variety of shades and undertones. I recently did a full review on this product, so check it out here to get more details on it. I wear the shade Cappuccino for reference.
While weāre on the subject of the barePro line, I had to give a shoutout to the barePro Performance Wear Powder Foundation, $30. I wear this in the shade Cappuccino just like I do in the liquid foundation. It gives a medium-to-full coverage with a natural matte finish. I havenāt used this as much as I have the foundation, but I think itās a really good powder foundation so far. I havenāt used it for a long enough period of time to definitively say whether I love it or hate it, but can say with certainty that I like it, if that makes sense.
The last complexion products I want to talk about are the concealers. I havenāt tried any of the powder concealers yet, but Iām definitely a fan of their cream and liquid ones.
The barePro 16 Hour Full Coverage Concealer, $24, is the newest to my collection and the brand. Iāve only used this once, so I canāt say how I feel about it just yet. However, I can recommend with confidence the bareSkin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer, $21. I use this pretty much every single day over all kinds of foundations, and even on days when I donāt wear foundation at all. It gives me decent coverage, but I wouldnāt exactly call it full coverage right off the bat, at least not for me. I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes that color correcting doesnāt even really hide well, so I donāt necessarily expect a concealer to do it. I will say that it definitely lasts all day under my eyes without drying them out or breaking down. I have fine lines, so literally everything settles into them. The Correcting Concealer, $21, is nice but not my favorite. The coverage is medium for sure. What I like about it is that it gives me some brightness under my eyes that I typically have to use a much lighter concealer to achieve.
Last summer, bareMinerals came out with the Invisible Bronze Powder Bronzer, $28, and the Invisible Glow Powder Highlighter, $28. I didnāt enjoy either of these if Iām being totally honest with you guys. The highlight was a little too subtle for my personal taste, and the bronzer just wasnāt for me. Both felt a little dry to the touch when I swatched them, which was another thing I didnāt like about them.

The Gen Nude Powder Blushes, $24, were released around the same time as the barePro Concealer, so these are fairly new. They come in nudes, peaches, pinks and mauves designed to cater to all skintones. Iām still testing these (I have two shades), but enjoy them so far. Theyāre pigmented without being TOO pigmented. Iāll have a full review up on these soon. I want to have a little bit more time with them first.
The final items I want to talk to you guys about are the bareMinerals lip products. I LOVE their glosses as well as their liquid lipsticks. They have the Gen Nude Buttercream glosses, $19, Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lips, $19, as well as the Statement Matte Liquid Lipstick range, $19, and the Moxie Plumping Gloss range, $18. They have traditional lipsticks as well, but I donāt have much experience with those. However, Iāve tried the glosses and liquid lipsticks and highly recommend them. The matte liquid lipsticks arenāt drying or flaky on the lips, and the glosses give you super amounts of shine without being too sticky.
As a whole, I think that bareMinerals is a brand that is definitely worth your coins. All of their foundations and powders have an SPF in them, so youāre getting sun protection with your coverage, and their shade ranges on a majority of their products are fantastic. I havenāt delved too deep into their eyeshadows or skincare yet, but I plan to as soon as Iām off my low buy. I canāt recommend this brand to you guys enough.
If you made it to the end of this post, youāre the real MVP! Let me know in the comments below what your favorite bareMinerals product/products is/are.
Until next time, Beauties!! xoxo
