BareMinerals is the ONLY foundation that doesn't break out my easily clogged, hormonal acne-riddled, extremely (neutral-cool) fair skin. I use the very lightest shade with a very light hand. It used to look too powdery until I figured out a good technique, found a better brush, and I learned to make sure my moisturizer completely sinks in before I apply. I just recently discovered their illuminating mineral veil, and it makes my skin look more naturally dewy than the regular stuff. I'm also a fan of their loose shadows and blushes. It's a great cosmetics line!
I'm not sure if they still sell it but I bought a mineral veil sample pack from Ulta that let me try a few. I think there was an illuminating, brightening and hydrating along with a larger regular one. It was fun getting to try different formulas, but I don't pull them out as much as I should!
I got a kit kind of like the one you describe (which is how I found the illuminating mineral veil!) a few months ago from Sephora. But I don't think they sell it anymore...
+NikitaUnique I got the starter kit today ( cuz it's Christmas ) and used it and loved it Ik I only used it one day but I know it will work for me, me and my mum Both have very oily skin and ing the kit I got I got the power foundation, bronzer, minaral veil, 2 kabuki brushes, conselaer brush and primer. My mum have used this produce for years and she loves it
I just recently returned to Bare Minerals, after more than a decade of liquid, and apply it almost exactly the same way you do! It was great that you pointed out that you shouldn't buff with the setting powder (I use Mac Skinfinish Natural instead of the Mineral Veil) because doing so removes the foundation you just so meticulously applied, therefore removing the coverage. Gently setting it with powder is important to keep my skin from becoming oily too. Love the peachy colored products as well. Thank you!
As a child and teenager I had severe acne, so bad that I've actually destroyed any and all pictures of myself from that time period😔 When bareMineral makeup first came out there wasn't anything like it on the market ( I can still remember the infomercials about it lol) When I tell you this makeup changed my life it sounds like I'm being hyperbolic but from the bottom of my heart it really did. After about a month at most of using it exclusively, my skin had been transformed. Cleared in a way that I had only dreamed about. The best part is my skin NEVER reverted back to the extreme acne that I had suffered with since the 4th grade. I still from time to time will have a pimple here or there but nothing remotely close to what it was like for all those years. I don't know what it is about this makeup that not only looked amazing but cleared my face better than any cream or skin routine at the time (2006ish) but I can not recommend this product enough to anyone suffering with extreme acne. Super excited to have gotten this product again on Amazon and to put a full face on after all these years to just sit around the house diamond paint lol. If you've taken to time to read this TLDR comment and also have awful skin that makes you cry yourself to sleep at night. Buy this, it is a little expensive but trust me it's 100% percent worth it. And just as one human to another. You ARE beautiful and it will get better. A million hugs to you and sending you all my love💌
I'm so happy because we're cleaning the house (moving is ugh) and I found a package my mom ordered a couple years ago from BareMinerals with SEVEN of these foundations in it! Two were in 'fair' and that's my skin tone so she let me keep them so now I don't have to buy any expensive foundation. She also had a full coverage kabuki brush so it's mine now. :)
love how laidback you talk and act. some people sound way too much like a saleswoman when they talk on youtube tutorials but i feel like i can listen to your videos aaaall the time
OMG Jen! I really can't express how much I love this video! I have used bare minerals and im not going to lie I love it. I used it as a teen and now in my twenties I know my skin has changed and when using it about 2 years ago I just wasn't liking the product on my face! Until NOW watching how you applied the foundation made me open up my eyes and see that the product goes a long way and o was totally applying it wrong! I went into my restroom to follow the steps you did and it looks AMAZING! I recently purchased the bobby brown foundation but I didn't like the way it wore on my face. I think I have found love once again with the mineral foundation and thank you SOOO much!! :)
My skin has gotten more acne prone as I've aged. Bare minerals is the only one I can use. Here's the interesting thing though. If I go without wearing my makeup for more than a couple of days, my skin actually breaks out ... bad. Yup, I actually break out when I DON'T wear makeup. So, for those with sensitive skin, try this product. It may be what you actually need. Oh, and one more thing. I am 57 years old. Don't let the other posts scare you away from trying it. Just remember to apply it in light layers, building up to a coverage you're pleased with. I use the Prime Time primer first, then follow the directions you see in this video. You'll only get that caked on look if you use too much all at once. Great tutorial!
watching this video gives me hope for my skin. i too have a very acne prone skin that is sensitive to most products out there. i love your videos Jen, you look like a very friendly, approachable person who would give make up advice with a lot of thought put into it. you're different from other beauty bloggers because you're not afraid to show your imperfections and you're not just trying to show the whole world how beautiful you are. yours is officially my go-to channel for make up advice! :)
I'm back on the bare minerals foundation band wagon after jumping off and using liquids for a year or so. It dawned on my that my skin just looked so gross and oily by lunchtime each day and I was fed up! I dusted off my bare minerals and I'm never looking back. I love the creamy, satin finish and most of all I love not having an oil slick on my face! Absolutely recommended for combination/oily skinned gals out there. Great video, thanks for sharing xx
I tried this out before and found it has super light coverage. I now understand why. I need to apply the mineral foundation twice. Thanks for doing this video.
I love mineral makeup and I have heard so many good things about it, I just wished it liked me back. I must be heavy handed when I put it on or maybe lack the patience of putting on baby layers at a time. When I am done, I look like a patchy, chalky, gray mess. My pores are evident and my hyperpigmentation still shows through. The best way for me to use a mineral compact is when I am done applying my foundation, I stipple the mineral compact on my spots. Your skin looks amazingly healthy and glowy. I wish I could get that affect for my skin...I just need to find my ZEN and try it then! Thank you Jen! :-)
I love Bare Minerals! It was my very first foundation I purchased and I love it. My skin can be very dry so what I like to do is mix it with Mary Kay mineral foundation, and I find that it goes on much smoother and doesn't stick to my dry spots. I love it, and thats what my everyday foundation has been lately.
I love Bare Minerals. I always come back to this foundation. I was looking at some older pictures the other day where I was wearing this foundation. I forget just how awesome it makes my skin look! Thanks for your video.
because my school does not allows students to wear makeup AT ALL!! but i have so many acne and acne scar that i need to and this covers it and looks like u wears nothing at all!!UNDETECTABLE!! u can certainly cheat 'not wearing makeup" with this foundation!! it is the best, and does not break me up and i have extremely acne prone skin.
My esthetician recommends Bare Minerals! I think I have been applying it wrong for a while because I always got orange splotches but this tutorial really helps! Thank you!
My face is the exact same way! I have noticed when I use a lot of liquid products on my face, My pores tend to get clogged, and I end up breaking out. I have recently switched to using bare minerals, and my skin looks so much better! I hardly have to use any product anymore since my skin is clearing up so nicely. Thanks for the tips on applying it, it was a huge help!
This is so helpful. I have been using mineral powder for two years. Always thought it doesn't give a good coverage. I guess I wasn't using it right. Thank you so much.
I got this today and I've never had foundation or foundation powder and thank u for letting me know that u use the same product!! Can't wait to use it more!
I've used the Bare Minerals makeup on and off for years and while I like the feel and coverage, it always looked cakey. Now I know why! I'm going to use your technique from now on.
I always stay away from mineral make up because I feel that it wouldn't give me the full coverage that I want. But lately I've really been wanton to try it. I have large pores, blemishes all over my face, oily and acne prone skin and hyper pigmentation. Logically, I would think that mineral foundation wouldn't clog my pores as to liquid foundation and I'm trying to find something to not do that but give me coverage. I am still skeptical but I might just give in and try bare minerals. Btw, you're a great spokesperson and naturally beautiful. Love your vids!
Maybe it was the camera or the angle but I really couldn't see any difference between her before and after looks. Her skin looks perfect without any makeup on it! Nice to discover this application using the smaller brush that she uses, I've always used a kabuki and it looks easier and more precise using the smaller brush. The kabuki brush is huge and I always have a lot of problems not putting too much powder on it and it drops powder all over the place.
I have super fair, oily and acne-prone skin. My whole life I've used liquid foundations and never really liked them. I just bought this as a first-time powder foundation and I'm hoping I'll really like it!
+Cierra Redinger I am super fair as well and I'm thinking about picking this up. Which color did you get? I found that the lightest shade was really pink-toned...
+Hillary Tracy hi, i was refraining from replying to you because i just got it and wanted to know more about it before i told you any advice. I got the shade fair (c10) and i find that it's a really good match for me. I think it might actually be like a little bit lighter than my skin tone! But it is a really good foundation and has definitely helped with acne and oiliness. I would prefer a little more coverage but it's great!
It makes me feel sad that I couldn't use certain makeup due to its ingredients, such as Bismuth Oxychloride, that Bare Minerals have. It broke out my skin so badly couple of years ago, I thought it was just my skin at that time but found out it wasn't. I always check the ingredients on any makeup that I use. I would love to try the YSL foundation too but I can't because it has that ingredient...again-_-" what I noticed from makeup that have this ingredient is that it makes you look like you have a natural glow, makes your skin look healthy. Thank you Jen for updating your mineral makeup video ^_^
I finally found the foundation for me. I have been looking for something light that would give me a natural look and also do not damage my skin. I can't wait to go shopping and buy this product. Thanks for the video😘
Thanks for the video. I have very red sensitive skin and can't use that much products on my skin so I have used bare mineral and love it. My friend has showed me that It cosmetic and I have fallen in love with it. The video was very helpful in showing me how to put on the mineral foundation.
Thank you so much! Your tip about concealing blemishes after you put on the foundation was a great tip. I have been wearing bare minerals for about 10 years and Have always covered my blemishes or hyperpigmentation spots 1st, you're the best!
Been using bare minerals for years. Especially when my skin needs a break from harsh makeup. Came to this video because I wanted to see what other people do with the mineral veil. Thanks for the info.
From Head To Toe this was very helpful! I just started mineral make up this week! I stopped using any make up due to pregnancy, but due to hormonal breakouts for the first trimester, i decided to try on minerals which are safer, pregnant or not! ;-) I will try on your technique, hope it works for me. Thanks!
Thank you! I've had mine a while & I didn't like it. Now that I'm running out of my regular foundation, I decided to try to try using my Bare Minerals Powder foundation again! With these tips, it was so much better!
Awesome video! I've always had insecurities and issues with my skin and would automatically reach for my liquid foundations and heaver concealers. I had cystic acne and was very prone to scarring. For example, I scratched the back of my hand while washing dishes and sad to say, there's still a dark scar on my hand that is very visible. So acne and scars on my faces take weeks if not months to go away. But I came back from vacation about a month ago and my skin was angry with the sudden climate change and it was painful to even make facial expressions! So after a week break of no make up and my skin calmed, I started using Bare Minerals as I had purchased some months ago but never trusted it enough to use. Since then, my skin is SO happy and I was able to discover just how much better it is to use mineral versus liquid for day to day applications, especially when I work indoors. Love the techniques you show and how little you use at a time! It really goes to show that a little goes a long way! I've always loved your channel and am always super grateful for your videos as I absolutely adore your style! Keep it up always!!
I absolutely love my mineral makeups! But I've had limited success using foundations, so I ran a search and here I am :) I'll be trying this soon and am hoping for success. Thank you!
I loved your video!!!!... I have sensitive skin as well and for a long time I have just been using mineral powder makeup and my skin has looked flawless. But recently I have noticed my skin has been changing a bit and I have been trying different foundations to find the right one. Nothing seems to be working good, I keep on breaking out. Watching your video has made me realize that may be I just need to go back to my powder foundation and stop over analyzing my skin LOL. Thank you your video has been great.
Mineral makeup is really good for your skin. You can see the difference when you're looking at darkness around her eyes. The idea is for it to look natural and it will reduce breakouts
Thanks so much! I never thought of applying it with that real techniques brush. Tried it today and love it! Much better than the bare minerals brushes.
Jen is so adorable :3 this actually helped a lot. I don't actually put on a lot of makeup, especially not liquid concealer because it makes my face look so cakey! I love that you really show your technique and how you make little circles over your face. Some makeup tutorials just show a girl applying her makeup but she doesn't actually leave tips. Thank you so much for this video :D
this was incredibly helpful! I am in the process of switching over to BareMinerals Original foundation after using the BarePro foundation for a year or so. BarePro is great but provides a bit heavier of a coverage than I require now that my skin has gotten evened out by a proper skincare routine. Thanks for being lovely and helpful!
I'm sold, been researching a lot and mineral makeup just seems more my speed, thanks for the tips on what brushes to buy, The make up looks awesome and so glowy on you!
I love bare minerals! I used to get such an oily nose with liquid foundation but that doesn't happen at all now. Maybe it also has something to do with me using rose hip oil at night? It looks amazing in photos too.. My skin looks like it's been airbrushed. One thing you do need to do is exfoliate regularly as your skin will flake otherwise. It's really helped reduce my black heads too. I love it! I use hourglasses' primer before and I also spritz Pixi's setting spray after applying the mineral veil just to get rid of any overly powdery areas such as around my nostrils and under my eyes where I need concealer and powder to hide the bluey/purple tones.
I never thought to just use a smaller brush with this foundation as a concealer & I thanks for the tip on under eye concealer! I'm just getting into powder foundation bc my skin is so much happier with my skincare routine so I don't really need coverage anymore! This was super helpful :)
I've not tried it before!!! I always use BBcreams or BBcushions because I'm scared of the cakey look that foundations give... But will definitely try out some day! It doesnt look cakey at all on you Jen!!!
Im acctually using mineral make up & powder make up now! Its the only type I use, as liquid make up makes my face look and feel dirty and greasy. I highly recomend using powder and mineral make up, for the natural non greasy finish!!!
Hiya, Bare Minerals is really good on my skin because I suffer from rosacea, which means my skin goes really red from heat, hot drinks and anything with alcohol in, so using the original foundation can help calm my redness and even out my skin in total, making it flawless.
Wow the come back of mineral make up :D I also use mineral make up now (powder foundation). It seems to work best for my acne prone skin and the result is flawless but looks very natural. My favorite is Lucy Minerals ^^
I like it! I used to use Bare Minerals too and my skin is super oily and porous... I found that it was too pink (at that time) for my skin! I am fair skinned to a degree, but have a super yellow complexion. I wish I had known to layer the make up, probably would've looked much better!
I didn't really like bareminerals the first time I tried it, but I think I must have been applying it wrong. This makes me want to try it again! I have been hooked on BB creams lately, because they are lighter than foundation, so maybe I will try it again when I want a switch up! Thanks Jen!
Hi Jen! I used to apply mineral foundation years ago, but I hated it like the way it was on my skin! Thank's to your video which helps me a lot, I know love it!
I love mineral make-up, and have probably tried a dozen brands. I think BM is my favorite. I'm using all Bobbie Brown face products right now, but I always go back to minerals after a while because they are quick and easy.~Carla
Your foundation was so flawless and glowing. I can not believe a powder foundation could look this nice. Is it the foundation it self or any other additional products you applied before hand or is it simply really good, healthy glowing skin?
I really like the median beige on you!! It looks natural! I tried the same color but it looks SUPER dark on me. I also have acne prone skin, so I tried the new product of baremineral blemish foundation from sephora. That works well on me! But still, I can't find the right color.
I am just starting to use Bare Minerals foundation. This tutorial definitely helped! I will be purchasing the mineral veil powder soon-- it really looks like it seals the look. Thanks!!
Hi Jen, its great to hear again abt mineral makeup. I am always a fan of this powedery magic tool but surely it needs lots of patience since the key to success is layer by layer. So liquid for lazy days, poweder for pinky days, its my own pov :p
I'm considering switching to mineral makeup since i get an oily shine with all liquid foundations. I'm also older now so i figured it might be time for a change. Ty for ur video!!
I'm gonna give Bare Minerals one more try. Lately, my skin has been sensitive due to seasonal allergies. I'm looking for sensitive skin friendly foundations. 😬
I use BM and I love it, one thing I would like to add is prepping the skin. I have very dry skin, so before BM foundation I use skin oil and moisturizer.Sometimes with primer. I heard some ppl find flaky so that might be the reason why.
I use bareMinerals for half a year now and I love it! It looks so natural but flawless and you don't need much of the mineral powder :) But I think the application is more timeconsuming than with liquid foundation so I'm gonna try bareSkin foundation soon! Still, lovely video! :)
Whenever my skin freaks out or when I have a big event coming up where I CANNOT break out I always switch to my good old bareminerals. It can look really natural if you apply it in thin layers and build it, and give decent coverage. I use primer and liquid concealer under my eyes before I do my Bareminerals.
Recently BareMinerals launched liquid foundation line. I tried the sample from Sophora order. I think the liquid one is much hydrant than the powder one, and the coverage is even better. You should try!!!!!
Thanks for the tips and tricks on how to apply mineral makeup. I use mineral makeup and now thanks to your video I see why mine tends to look cakey. Definitely trying your steps out! Thx!
Great timing with this one! I seriously just looked up one of your old blog posts about mineral makeup this morning. My skin has been acting up in ways that I haven't dealt with in a while...And I thought my skin was settled now that I'm an 'adult'. I'm seriously considering buying the BareMinerals foundation and mineral veil now, along with a new brush or two. Thanks for the tips!
I was so in love with the mineral power by maybelline, but i can't find it anymore! the concealer was awesome, after this video i want to try more mineral makeup, great video!
I never knew that you were supposed to apply mineral makeup in layers. The result looks amazing and flawless! Thanks so much. You mentioned that using a cream concealer afterwards will help with dark circles. Are there any in particular that you would recommend?? I'm in need of a good one.
really glad you make this tutorial, i'm kinda interested in this product, but don't really know much about it and how to apply it. thanks for making this tutorial !
I have just picked up some bareminerals recently. I'm allergic to most liquid foundations and anything that will block my pores such as eyeshadow primers. I tried out the bareminerals foundation and was happy with the resolute. I used the same real techniques brush because I didn't like the brush that came with the kit. For pple who have had a really hard time finding base makeup when you have sensitive skin I would say give this a try. There are a lot more shade varieties now. However, I've only tired this summer， so I don't know how it will perform yet on my extra dry skin in winter.
I really enjoyed watching the video because this sounds helpful to me. I never tried putting on Mineral Foundation and I am only 16 years old. I feel like a mature young woman and I know how to apply complexed make-up. I actually have and it's a good effect. I want to see more videos about this again!
Hi Jen, I really enjoyed the tutorial on how to put on Minerals foundation. I never have used your foundation but have used Prescriptives before they went out of business, so I am rusty on the technique to apply it. This was good for me to get a refresher. Thank you so much for the video and being so upbeat
Jen! I really like your tutorial videos! I want to watch more tutorials actually!! I have been missing it a lot and I believe a lot of people feel the same way! It's so good to see your tutorials again and I missed it sooo much !!
Thanks so much for this video! I've had bare minerals for years but I've been doing my spots before i do my whole face. I'm definitely going to try your way of doing the whole face then focusing on problem issues, i can't wait!
Jen, thanks so much for making this video!! Yesterday I was thinking about my bare minerals and what kind of brush I should use to get the best benefits. Saw this video and wow!! I use the very same brush that you used also. So I'm confirmed that I am using the best brush for my bare minerals. I use the matte and blemish- free version of Barr Minerals. Thanks again for this wonderful video!!
This is a really great, I've been using bare minerals for ages now and it looked very chalky but doing my skin so much good, so thank you for sharing this! Just discovered your blog so you now have a big fan in ireland :) x
I love Bareminerals! I got into it because Wayne Goss always raved about it and I was already using mineral powder but I wanted a better one. I love how Bareminerals has such a wide colour selection :) I actually ran out and unfortunately can get a hold of any at thr moment ~ booo I personally like to usr a bit of jojoba oil before applying the powder :)
This was a great Video Jen! Thank you! I actually do the same when it comes to acne. When I start to have a breakout, I stop using my liquids and creams, and just use a mineral makeup until the acne is gone. Glad to know I'm not the only one. But I'm glad you showed us a good way to apply it, as I probably didn't apply it as well before. :)
I like mineral foundation, and I've been using it for awhile now. It can give a really light, barely there base. I do tend to use a pretty fluffy brush, and I'm thinking about getting a denser one for more coverage.
I really like your process of applying the foundation powder. It is really interesting that it is really nice if you build it step by step. Thank you very much for your approach to it and advise on how to apply. I am definitely going to follow your approach. God Bless you
I loved how you made this video! Cause I just bought a bare mineral makeup foundation! Cause I wanted a foundation that is light and that I can wear everyday ! This tutorial was so helpful!!!
Love your video. I just recently switch to BareMineral and I love how you show step by step on how to apply with brushes. I am not a brush user but after watching your video i want to give it a try. The only concern I have for the mineral is that I usually after apply it on and through out the day, dry patches started to appear which make my skin look dry... is there anyway to solve that?

I'm not sure if they still sell it but I bought a mineral veil sample pack from Ulta that let me try a few. I think there was an illuminating, brightening and hydrating along with a larger regular one. It was fun getting to try different formulas, but I don't pull them out as much as I should!

+NikitaUnique I got the starter kit today ( cuz it's Christmas ) and used it and loved it Ik I only used it one day but I know it will work for me, me and my mum Both have very oily skin and ing the kit I got I got the power foundation, bronzer, minaral veil, 2 kabuki brushes, conselaer brush and primer. My mum have used this produce for years and she loves it
+NikitaUnique Did you try out INIKA yet?
I love how you talk, your one of the few who I don't get annoyed with. And your very helpful

your skin is so glowy and perfect before the foundation, forever jealous :)
she probably already had makeup on from the start

because my school does not allows students to wear makeup AT ALL!! but i have so many acne and acne scar that i need to and this covers it and looks like u wears nothing at all!!UNDETECTABLE!! u can certainly cheat 'not wearing makeup" with this foundation!! it is the best, and does not break me up and i have extremely acne prone skin.

My esthetician recommends Bare Minerals! I think I have been applying it wrong for a while because I always got orange splotches but this tutorial really helps! Thank you!
Used it 20 years ago when it first came out. Switched to liquid for a few years abs just switched back and love it! This video was so helpful!
My face is the exact same way! I have noticed when I use a lot of liquid products on my face, My pores tend to get clogged, and I end up breaking out. I have recently switched to using bare minerals, and my skin looks so much better! I hardly have to use any product anymore since my skin is clearing up so nicely. Thanks for the tips on applying it, it was a huge help!
mineral foundation is the saving grace for my extremely oily skin lol. it's such beautiful coverage
This is so helpful. I have been using mineral powder for two years. Always thought it doesn't give a good coverage. I guess I wasn't using it right. Thank you so much.
I got this today and I've never had foundation or foundation powder and thank u for letting me know that u use the same product!! Can't wait to use it more!
I've used the Bare Minerals makeup on and off for years and while I like the feel and coverage, it always looked cakey. Now I know why! I'm going to use your technique from now on.
I always stay away from mineral make up because I feel that it wouldn't give me the full coverage that I want. But lately I've really been wanton to try it. I have large pores, blemishes all over my face, oily and acne prone skin and hyper pigmentation. Logically, I would think that mineral foundation wouldn't clog my pores as to liquid foundation and I'm trying to find something to not do that but give me coverage. I am still skeptical but I might just give in and try bare minerals.
Btw, you're a great spokesperson and naturally beautiful. Love your vids!
Maybe it was the camera or the angle but I really couldn't see any difference between her before and after looks. Her skin looks perfect without any makeup on it! Nice to discover this application using the smaller brush that she uses, I've always used a kabuki and it looks easier and more precise using the smaller brush. The kabuki brush is huge and I always have a lot of problems not putting too much powder on it and it drops powder all over the place.
I have super fair, oily and acne-prone skin. My whole life I've used liquid foundations and never really liked them. I just bought this as a first-time powder foundation and I'm hoping I'll really like it!
+Cierra Redinger I am super fair as well and I'm thinking about picking this up. Which color did you get? I found that the lightest shade was really pink-toned...
+Hillary Tracy hi, i was refraining from replying to you because i just got it and wanted to know more about it before i told you any advice. I got the shade fair (c10) and i find that it's a really good match for me. I think it might actually be like a little bit lighter than my skin tone! But it is a really good foundation and has definitely helped with acne and oiliness. I would prefer a little more coverage but it's great!
It makes me feel sad that I couldn't use certain makeup due to its ingredients, such as Bismuth Oxychloride, that Bare Minerals have. It broke out my skin so badly couple of years ago, I thought it was just my skin at that time but found out it wasn't. I always check the ingredients on any makeup that I use. I would love to try the YSL foundation too but I can't because it has that ingredient...again-_-" what I noticed from makeup that have this ingredient is that it makes you look like you have a natural glow, makes your skin look healthy. Thank you Jen for updating your mineral makeup video ^_^
I finally found the foundation for me. I have been looking for something light that would give me a natural look and also do not damage my skin. I can't wait to go shopping and buy this product. Thanks for the video😘
Thanks for the video. I have very red sensitive skin and can't use that much products on my skin so I have used bare mineral and love it. My friend has showed me that It cosmetic and I have fallen in love with it. The video was very helpful in showing me how to put on the mineral foundation.
Mine always comes out great. I have the same skin issues as you and this never breaks me out, that makes me happy.
This is the best bare minerals tutorial I have seen thus far; and I’ve watched all of them! Just bought my first starter kit!
Thank you so much! Your tip about concealing blemishes after you put on the foundation was a great tip. I have been wearing bare minerals for about 10 years and Have always covered my blemishes or hyperpigmentation spots 1st, you're the best!
Been using bare minerals for years. Especially when my skin needs a break from harsh makeup. Came to this video because I wanted to see what other people do with the mineral veil. Thanks for the info.
From Head To Toe this was very helpful! I just started mineral make up this week! I stopped using any make up due to pregnancy, but due to hormonal breakouts for the first trimester, i decided to try on minerals which are safer, pregnant or not! ;-) I will try on your technique, hope it works for me. Thanks!
your skin is flawless, i totally thought you had foundation on in the "before" part haha. gorgeous and great video as always jen!
Thank you! I've had mine a while & I didn't like it. Now that I'm running out of my regular foundation, I decided to try to try using my Bare Minerals Powder foundation again! With these tips, it was so much better!
OMG you don't know how thankful I am right now, I just recently bought this and I was wondering if I was using it the right way hahah
Awesome video!
I've always had insecurities and issues with my skin and would automatically reach for my liquid foundations and heaver concealers. I had cystic acne and was very prone to scarring. For example, I scratched the back of my hand while washing dishes and sad to say, there's still a dark scar on my hand that is very visible. So acne and scars on my faces take weeks if not months to go away. But I came back from vacation about a month ago and my skin was angry with the sudden climate change and it was painful to even make facial expressions! So after a week break of no make up and my skin calmed, I started using Bare Minerals as I had purchased some months ago but never trusted it enough to use. Since then, my skin is SO happy and I was able to discover just how much better it is to use mineral versus liquid for day to day applications, especially when I work indoors.
Love the techniques you show and how little you use at a time! It really goes to show that a little goes a long way! I've always loved your channel and am always super grateful for your videos as I absolutely adore your style! Keep it up always!!
I absolutely love my mineral makeups! But I've had limited success using foundations, so I ran a search and here I am :) I'll be trying this soon and am hoping for success. Thank you!
I loved your video!!!!... I have sensitive skin as well and for a long time I have just been using mineral powder makeup and my skin has looked flawless. But recently I have noticed my skin has been changing a bit and I have been trying different foundations to find the right one. Nothing seems to be working good, I keep on breaking out. Watching your video has made me realize that may be I just need to go back to my powder foundation and stop over analyzing my skin LOL. Thank you your video has been great.
I literally did not see a difference when the foundation was on or off😂 your skin is beautiful☺️
Mineral makeup is really good for your skin. You can see the difference when you're looking at darkness around her eyes. The idea is for it to look natural and it will reduce breakouts
Because she was wearing a full face of makeup before applying more lol
Thanks so much! I never thought of applying it with that real techniques brush. Tried it today and love it! Much better than the bare minerals brushes.
Jen is so adorable :3 this actually helped a lot. I don't actually put on a lot of makeup, especially not liquid concealer because it makes my face look so cakey! I love that you really show your technique and how you make little circles over your face. Some makeup tutorials just show a girl applying her makeup but she doesn't actually leave tips. Thank you so much for this video :D
You are beautiful, your skin looks flawless with this makeup and is it wierd that I just find your voice soothing, lol. Subscribed! New fan my dear
Awesome coverage. I ordered Matt by accident and i already have dry mature skin. I hope because there's no talk it's not too drying.
this was incredibly helpful! I am in the process of switching over to BareMinerals Original foundation after using the BarePro foundation for a year or so. BarePro is great but provides a bit heavier of a coverage than I require now that my skin has gotten evened out by a proper skincare routine. Thanks for being lovely and helpful!
I'm sold, been researching a lot and mineral makeup just seems more my speed, thanks for the tips on what brushes to buy, The make up looks awesome and so glowy on you!
This is the first time you're doing a tutorial where I actually have all the products you're using hahah. So glad you did a tutorial on this :D
I love bare minerals! I used to get such an oily nose with liquid foundation but that doesn't happen at all now. Maybe it also has something to do with me using rose hip oil at night?
It looks amazing in photos too.. My skin looks like it's been airbrushed. One thing you do need to do is exfoliate regularly as your skin will flake otherwise. It's really helped reduce my black heads too. I love it! I use hourglasses' primer before and I also spritz Pixi's setting spray after applying the mineral veil just to get rid of any overly powdery areas such as around my nostrils and under my eyes where I need concealer and powder to hide the bluey/purple tones.
I never thought to just use a smaller brush with this foundation as a concealer & I thanks for the tip on under eye concealer! I'm just getting into powder foundation bc my skin is so much happier with my skincare routine so I don't really need coverage anymore! This was super helpful :)
I've not tried it before!!! I always use BBcreams or BBcushions because I'm scared of the cakey look that foundations give... But will definitely try out some day! It doesnt look cakey at all on you Jen!!!
Im acctually using mineral make up & powder make up now!
Its the only type I use, as liquid make up makes my face look and feel dirty and greasy. I highly recomend using powder and mineral make up, for the natural non greasy finish!!!
tried mineral make-up for the first time after watching this and loving it so far! thanks jen x
Hiya, Bare Minerals is really good on my skin because I suffer from rosacea, which means my skin goes really red from heat, hot drinks and anything with alcohol in, so using the original foundation can help calm my redness and even out my skin in total, making it flawless.
Wow the come back of mineral make up :D
I also use mineral make up now (powder foundation). It seems to work best for my acne prone skin and the result is flawless but looks very natural. My favorite is Lucy Minerals ^^
I wish that she did the whole process in close up... It was hard to see the details and stuff.
I like it! I used to use Bare Minerals too and my skin is super oily and porous... I found that it was too pink (at that time) for my skin! I am fair skinned to a degree, but have a super yellow complexion. I wish I had known to layer the make up, probably would've looked much better!
Mineral makeup was the first thing I tried in foundation! :) I like it, it always works for my oily combination/acne prone skin. I liked the video! :)
I didn't really like bareminerals the first time I tried it, but I think I must have been applying it wrong. This makes me want to try it again! I have been hooked on BB creams lately, because they are lighter than foundation, so maybe I will try it again when I want a switch up! Thanks Jen!
Hi Jen! I used to apply mineral foundation years ago, but I hated it like the way it was on my skin! Thank's to your video which helps me a lot, I know love it!
I love mineral make-up, and have probably tried a dozen brands. I think BM is my favorite. I'm using all Bobbie Brown face products right now, but I always go back to minerals after a while because they are quick and easy.~Carla
Your foundation was so flawless and glowing. I can not believe a powder foundation could look this nice. Is it the foundation it self or any other additional products you applied before hand or is it simply really good, healthy glowing skin?
I really like the median beige on you!! It looks natural! I tried the same color but it looks SUPER dark on me. I also have acne prone skin, so I tried the new product of baremineral blemish foundation from sephora. That works well on me! But still, I can't find the right color.
You’re face shape is so beautiful 😍.
I am just starting to use Bare Minerals foundation. This tutorial definitely helped! I will be purchasing the mineral veil powder soon-- it really looks like it seals the look. Thanks!!
Hi Jen, its great to hear again abt mineral makeup. I am always a fan of this powedery magic tool but surely it needs lots of patience since the key to success is layer by layer. So liquid for lazy days, poweder for pinky days, its my own pov :p
I'm considering switching to mineral makeup since i get an oily shine with all liquid foundations. I'm also older now so i figured it might be time for a change. Ty for ur video!!
I'm gonna give Bare Minerals one more try. Lately, my skin has been sensitive due to seasonal allergies. I'm looking for sensitive skin friendly foundations. 😬
I use BM and I love it, one thing I would like to add is prepping the skin. I have very dry skin, so before BM foundation I use skin oil and moisturizer.Sometimes with primer. I heard some ppl find flaky so that might be the reason why.
I use bareMinerals for half a year now and I love it! It looks so natural but flawless and you don't need much of the mineral powder :) But I think the application is more timeconsuming than with liquid foundation so I'm gonna try bareSkin foundation soon! Still, lovely video! :)
Whenever my skin freaks out or when I have a big event coming up where I CANNOT break out I always switch to my good old bareminerals. It can look really natural if you apply it in thin layers and build it, and give decent coverage. I use primer and liquid concealer under my eyes before I do my Bareminerals.
Recently BareMinerals launched liquid foundation line. I tried the sample from Sophora order. I think the liquid one is much hydrant than the powder one, and the coverage is even better. You should try!!!!!
i've watched this before but i need to watch again since i will be buying bare minerals fondation...thanks again!
Thanks for the tips and tricks on how to apply mineral makeup. I use mineral makeup and now thanks to your video I see why mine tends to look cakey. Definitely trying your steps out! Thx!
I have some Bare Minerals makeup and can never get it looking how I want but after your video I'm going to give it another go. Thanks Jen
Great timing with this one! I seriously just looked up one of your old blog posts about mineral makeup this morning. My skin has been acting up in ways that I haven't dealt with in a while...And I thought my skin was settled now that I'm an 'adult'. I'm seriously considering buying the BareMinerals foundation and mineral veil now, along with a new brush or two. Thanks for the tips!
I was so in love with the mineral power by maybelline, but i can't find it anymore! the concealer was awesome, after this video i want to try more mineral makeup, great video!
I never knew that you were supposed to apply mineral makeup in layers. The result looks amazing and flawless! Thanks so much. You mentioned that using a cream concealer afterwards will help with dark circles. Are there any in particular that you would recommend?? I'm in need of a good one.
really glad you make this tutorial, i'm kinda interested in this product, but don't really know much about it and how to apply it. thanks for making this tutorial !
I have just picked up some bareminerals recently. I'm allergic to most liquid foundations and anything that will block my pores such as eyeshadow primers. I tried out the bareminerals foundation and was happy with the resolute. I used the same real techniques brush because I didn't like the brush that came with the kit. For pple who have had a really hard time finding base makeup when you have sensitive skin I would say give this a try. There are a lot more shade varieties now. However, I've only tired this summer， so I don't know how it will perform yet on my extra dry skin in winter.
I really enjoyed watching the video because this sounds helpful to me. I never tried putting on Mineral Foundation and I am only 16 years old. I feel like a mature young woman and I know how to apply complexed make-up. I actually have and it's a good effect. I want to see more videos about this again!
Hi Jen, I really enjoyed the tutorial on how to put on Minerals foundation. I never have used your foundation but have used Prescriptives before they went out of business, so I am rusty on the technique to apply it. This was good for me to get a refresher. Thank you so much for the video and being so upbeat
Jen! I really like your tutorial videos! I want to watch more tutorials actually!! I have been missing it a lot and I believe a lot of people feel the same way! It's so good to see your tutorials again and I missed it sooo much !!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUUUTTIIFFFUUULLLLL
Thanks so much for this video! I've had bare minerals for years but I've been doing my spots before i do my whole face. I'm definitely going to try your way of doing the whole face then focusing on problem issues, i can't wait!
you look so pretty naturally!
Jen, thanks so much for making this video!! Yesterday I was thinking about my bare minerals and what kind of brush I should use to get the best benefits. Saw this video and wow!! I use the very same brush that you used also. So I'm confirmed that I am using the best brush for my bare minerals. I use the matte and blemish- free version of Barr Minerals. Thanks again for this wonderful video!!
your eyeliner is so on point omg! #perfection
This is a really great, I've been using bare minerals for ages now and it looked very chalky but doing my skin so much good, so thank you for sharing this! Just discovered your blog so you now have a big fan in ireland :) x
I love Bareminerals! I got into it because Wayne Goss always raved about it and I was already using mineral powder but I wanted a better one. I love how Bareminerals has such a wide colour selection :) I actually ran out and unfortunately can get a hold of any at thr moment ~ booo
I personally like to usr a bit of jojoba oil before applying the powder :)
Oh my gosh you look extra pretty in this video
bare mineral makeup is amazing
This was a great Video Jen! Thank you! I actually do the same when it comes to acne. When I start to have a breakout, I stop using my liquids and creams, and just use a mineral makeup until the acne is gone. Glad to know I'm not the only one. But I'm glad you showed us a good way to apply it, as I probably didn't apply it as well before. :)
Thanks. Bareminerals is the only foundation i use. Your videos have been the most helpful!
I like mineral foundation, and I've been using it for awhile now. It can give a really light, barely there base. I do tend to use a pretty fluffy brush, and I'm thinking about getting a denser one for more coverage.
I really like your process of applying the foundation powder. It is really interesting that it is really nice if you build it step by step. Thank you very much for your approach to it and advise on how to apply. I am definitely going to follow your approach. God Bless you
When you said 'how to get from THIS to THIs' i was like '???????'. Your skin is just flawless!
I loved how you made this video! Cause I just bought a bare mineral makeup foundation! Cause I wanted a foundation that is light and that I can wear everyday ! This tutorial was so helpful!!!
I use Bareminerals Matte foundation all the time because I love it so much! Great tips on application, I'll try it this way!
Love your video. I just recently switch to BareMineral and I love how you show step by step on how to apply with brushes. I am not a brush user but after watching your video i want to give it a try. The only concern I have for the mineral is that I usually after apply it on and through out the day, dry patches started to appear which make my skin look dry... is there anyway to solve that?
