The revolutionary make-up brand now a whole lot more convenient...

bareMinerals but Better!

It all started last year. Working at a make-up counter in Selfridges, I saw woman upon woman enter the shop desperately asking the first sales girl where the bareMinerals stand could be found. After several months of this, curiosity got the better of me and I absolutely had to find out why everyone was so mad about the brand. Thus began my relationship with bareMinerals and I am now that woman.

Eager to try out the product, I purchased a mineral foundation with its brush and followed the golden rule 'Swirl, Tap, Buff' which resulted in a near-flawless, beautifully natural looking (and feeling) complexion. Thrilled with my new find, and the many compliments I received, I headed back to the counter and completed my purchase with the full starter kit (this includes everything you need for a natural day time look, primer, foundation, all-over bronzing, a mineral veil finishing powder, concealer and the brushes to match). I also added a blush and hydrating mineral veil.

READ RACHEL WEISZ AND THE HONEST AD

Aside from one or two attempts to revert back to thicker make-up (I suffer from make-up routine phobia) I have now been using bareMinerals for a year and don't think I could go back to heavier liquid foundations. I still occasionally opt for different brands of bronzer/blusher but I am thrilled to bits with the mineral foundation. It doesn't always cover 100% of blemishes which isn't ideal for me but I still prefer the natural finish.

My one issue with these products was the impracticality when I wanted to top up before heading out. The tap, swirl, buff process is not something that can be done discreetly on a train or at your desk but they have just launched the new Ready Collection and it's just perfect! bareMinerals on the go in a neat little compact case with mirror. For the moment this is available for the bronzer, blushers, mineral veils and eyeshadows… I just hope the foundations and concealers will soon be in this convenient form too!

Check out the collection now available to buy at FeelUnique.com or head over to bareMinerals for more information on products.
