Hello :)
I haven't blogged in a while, due to the fact I have close to no followers :( oh well, hopefully that will change!
I wanted to stress my absolute OBSESSION with the BareEscentuals makeup and skincare line. It is beyond amazing. So, today I will discuss how to do a natural, everyday look with the basics of this makeup line. Most of the products can be bought in a Bare Minerals Starter Kit at Sephora, BareEscentuals, or Ulta.
First off, make sure you prep your face by cleansing, toning, and moisturizing (I'm hoping to do a skincare routine post soon) with whatever products you find work best for you.
Next, I use the Bare Minerals Prime Time Foundation Primer. I use one pump and spread it all over my face, especially my cheeks, chin, and forehead where i put more makeup. Then, I take a pretty small amount of the SPF 15 matte foundation (my color is fairly light) and use the Full Flawless Face brush and swirl it onto my brush from the lid, slightly tap off the excess foundation, and buff all over my face for about a minute to blend it evenly. (I know the swirl, tap, and buff is the signature Bare Minerals routine, but it works and i would suggest anyone to do this :)
Next, I take any concealer to match my skin tone (I prefer liquid concealer rather than the minerals, I need a lot of coverage for my acne) and i dab it on my blemishes and then blend it into my foundation using my ring finger. Then, I take the Bare Minerals concealer brush with the matte foundation and seal the spots I already concealed. I also make sure to conceal under my eyes with this.
Next, I take Warmth (the Bare Minerals bronzer) and use the same swirl, tap, buff process BUT I only use a TINY amount (it is very pigmented) and i only lightly sweep it under my cheekbones and my temples using a fan brush.
Now, I take my Bare Minerals Blush (I use pretty much a different color every day) and also, using the fan brush, lightly sweep the blush on the apples of my cheeks and across my cheekbones. I do this until i get the color I desire.
I then take a taupe colored eye liner and use it to LIGHTLY fill in my brows. You don't need anything darker than taupe, no matter how dark your hair is. Sometimes i take an iridescent champagne eye color and, using the Defining Crease brush, dab it in my inner corners to open up my eyes.
I take the Bare Minerals Mineral Veil (i prefer the original or tinted) and swirl, tap, and SWEEP it on my face all over. You do not want to buff it on and blend your makeup too much together.
I finish it off by curling my lashes and applying the Buxom mascara and maybe some lip gloss.
Voila :)
Let me know what you think and send me your daily routines!
Thanks, Jessica
