FULL FACE OF BARE MINERALS - OVER 40

[@SandraHof]

I have used Bare Minerals for over 12 years. I am almost 65 years old. In recent years I began spritzing water over my face after applying the Bare Minerals. This sets it and it no longer looks powdery. I use the Mineral Veil later, after I have put on my eye shadow. And I make sure my face is well moisturized before putting any makeup on it.

[@dorissherrill9724]

I have used it for years, and per many comments already, the key is buffing. I love the Mineral veil to finish over my tinted sunscreen as extra protection. I love how it evens skin tone without making it look made up. The Kabuki brush is ideal for this application. It really is a learning process.

[@jdpccs]

Hi Gemma! I love my bare minerals original, I am 54 with normal to dry skin. I agree with the previous comments about buffing and using the dedicated brush, and also about Shelbey Wilson, her channel is great (as is yours, I enjoy your videos very much!). I have quite fair skin, many of your listed foundation shades also match me, and in summer I wear the bare minerals fairly light 03. I have to go to a 02 in winter. I use a moisturizing primer underneath and a minimum of product on the brush, building up only where I need to. It doesn't settle into my lines that way. Thanks for another interesting video and cheers from Canada!

Put some blush on. And eyeshadow

[@anadelwrites2144]

The thing with mineral powder foundation is you need to buff it in three times as long as you think. The best tips on powder foundation are from youtuber and makeup artist Shelby Wilson. She’s the expert on bare minerals and powder foundation! She’s been a devotee for years and used to work for BM. Their gen nude eye palettes are fantastic also. I have the rose one which has neutral browns and a rose gold shade otherwise it’s not pink at all.

[@curlsofa2017]

Agreed! I followed Shelby’s recent tutorial of how to make BM powder foundation look like a liquid foundation and was amazed at how good it looked. She’s for sure the one to go to for tips on how to use Bare Minerals.

It is so funny that you are doing this video right now because I used the original of this formula mineral foundation for many many years, many many years ago and I just recently this last week decided to go purchase some again and see what it does on my 62 year old skin now.

[@karolinaberneheim5899]

How did it work? 😀

[@Gemma1558]

Karolina Berneheim it looked pretty good. I am 62 with dry/normal skin. It was NOT cakey, but I think I can still get it looking even a little better if I do a better job of buffing it in. It lasts good with a mask.

[@ninak8506]

About 12-15 yrs ago my acne was driving me nuts. I was in my mid 40s living in a super hot & humid climate & I switched to all Bare Minerals. My completion cleared right up. It gave me excellent melt proof coverage. I stopped using it when I moved to a cold, dry climate. My 1 giant frustration with mineral powder everything is the fallout. I'd get powder everywhere. I got tired of the constant clean up. I may try it again because I've moved back to the hot, humid climate but now I'm 60. I prefer no makeup, a tinted sunscreen & maybe Laura Gellar Balance & Brighten. Oh and Well Rested is the bomb! Thanks Gemma.

[@julianursten6399]

Love to see you doing a full face of BM. I’ve sworn by their products for years. I have had their brushes for a very long time. They’re still perfect.

[@maryabdel-malik656]

I love bare minerals I have been using it for at least 20 years this is my go to during summer I have very oily skin the trick of using the foundation is keep buffing I also use their brush I have all products even the powder eyeshadow

[@messywebdev]

I love the loose foundation now. I had a hard time with my shade though. Mine is still too yellow but I got all my stuff right when the lock down was going on too. I love how it turns into a cream. You have to buff it into your skin for at least 30 seconds in small sections. I don’t use a primer with it, and I don’t even need to put the mineral veil on but I still do. It lasts all day and night when you buff it in. People really hate it because they just swipe it on and it just sits there so it looks bad. Once I started the correct application, it was game over. It looks so much better than a lot of the liquids I’ve used. I’m not a pro by any means and am learning so much right now. But I highly encourage everyone to try the BareMinerals loose foundation again if it didn’t work the first time. I just used my ITs cosmetics foundation brush, I don’t know which one but it has dense bristles and a flat top with slightly rounded edges. It turns out so great! You can really build up the coverage, it still looks like skin, and it truly truly blurred a lot of my pores. Nothing has ever done that except BareMinerals. I love their barepro liquid foundation too! They are inconsistent with the shades sometimes especially the mineral veil. They have to rely on natural ingredients, so sometimes they get a batch of mineral veil for example that is super super orange. The mineral veil I have is from a bad batch. So test in the store if you can, or test right away before the return policy is up. I spent over $200 last year on the website and half the stuff was awful. I almost didn’t make the return date for everything, one thing I was stuck with. Their products can just be so hit or miss. Their “touch of warmth” powders are all WAY too dark, too. So if anyone is interested in trying BareMinerals, just know that they have some stuff that is life-changing but they also have some stuff that is absolutely awful. No in between haha.

[@wonderland2023]

Drry skin mineral powder fan here. I have always used a moisturizer first, these days Vichy serum 89 then a Vichy light moisture cream, then because I freckle very easily and don't love that (yes it looks good on some people) I then add SPF le roche posay, then the minerals when that has absorbed into my skin. It always looks great. It doesn't help my lifetime dry skin that I use Rentinol but while expensive if you can Avene intensive1.0 retinaldihyde (sp?) Is gentle but effective. 🕯 Merry Christmas!

[@kathykit7629]

Thanks for the video. Been using this for years. The Bare Minerals Primetime primer helps with the nose dots as does using a small amount of product and really buffing it in. I’m your moms age and love this stuff. Wearing it today.

[@terrilunsford3594]

I haven’t used Bare Minerals in many years. Your makeup looks amazing! Thank you for the reminder that Bare Minerals is great for a quick makeup day. I love the look!💄💕

[@megalopolis2015]

I've been hooked on Bare Minerals since 2003. I used various mediums, but now I prefer Fairly Medium with Well-Rested and the lightest Mineral Veil, using no bronzers. For touching up, many times it only requires a tiny amount more product and a little brush buffing lightly. The stuff applies easily, looks great, is relatively affordable and lasts a long time, plus it doesn't clog my pores and make me break out. It's blendable, buildable, and durable.

[@Kirsty178]

I have really oily skin and love how this foundation melts in to me skin as the days goes on. I also find it seems to get more coverage as it warms to my face. I also love to use mineral veil with my liquid foundation as again when my oil starts to come through it melts into my skin look amazing. It makes it hard to use to much. If your oily you will only get 4-6 hours on its own but if you the glow then liquid foundation with veil will last all day. Also really helps me when I’m having break outs to clear my skin.

[@dianeskahill5961]

Hi Gemma. Nice to see you. Haven’t really been on much. ❤️. I use Bare Minerals, I used to use it all the time when they first came out. I do like very much. Oh and I have very mature skin. 70 years young. Well rested is the best, so is mineral veil

[@angelhowell5420]

I get good results on dry mature skin using the method Shelby Wilson teaches in her videos. It’s quite a lot more buffing until the powder almost turns to a cream on the skin. Also, the brush she recommends helps a ton too❤️

[@meggold3422]

I've been using Bare Minerals for over twenty years. There are many things about it I really Love. I especially Love the fact that I can achieve a decent full face with minimal effort and no chemicals that break my face out. It's buildable, long-wearing, relatively natural-looking, and light-feeling. My face has gotten a lot more mature, so I will be experimenting mixing some with Tarte Shape Tape, placing primers underneath, etc., to see which version looks the most flattering. Since I'm getting married soon, it's worth the added experimentation.

[@shawnaday1354]

This is stunning on you, this foundation needs a comeback.

[@jimkelly3029]

Hi Gemma; I love the Bare Minerals on your skin!!🤗 I have been using it for around 20yrs. The bronzer was a loose powder then, called "warmth". I still love using it, I find it more comfortable at times!! I hope others will try it! The best to your "Mum", I know you miss her 🙁!! Love, Kristie K.

[@netties6653]

I love bare minerals. I had stopped wearing it but dug mine out this morning and realised how much I do love it.. the well rested tip is good I always used on eyelid never underneath. Will give it a go. 😊

[@fionafrazer8820]

I would suggest you watch Shelby Wilson on YT - she's the guru of Bare Minerals!! Also, I think you probably used too much, and didn't buff long enough. However long you think you need to buff, do it even more! The original powders were brilliant - blushes too!

[@spaenky1972]

Use the Original Primer under the foundation. So you can buff the foundation very smooth into your skin. You don't have to use much powder. Only a little and layer it. I also love the Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer for No-Makeup Days ;-)

[@heathernelson4886]

I wear Fairly Light 03 and would say your skin is darker than mine. It helps to buff mineral foundation into your skin much more than you might expect. You can re-buff the minerals later in the day to revitalise their appearance, without needing to necessarily apply more.

[@Patti-1962]

I tried BM products years ago, and was not a fan. I probably wasn't using it correctly because I felt like I was getting powder everywhere! I am VERY interested in the eye brightener and the mineral veil powder. ❤ PS The other reason I stopped using these products was because the only place to buy it was at a Bare Minerals store, so it was inconvenient. Now that it is sold at Ulta makes me want to try it again!

[@conniehewitt8722]

I am never without bisque, one at home, one on the go for spot concealing. I love the warmth in the loose minerals. It's lovely and a perfect bronzer. It's a different shade than the warmth in a compact. I wore the foundation for years but as I age my skin becomes dryer and it no longer works. The loose blushes are beautiful, as well. The Gen Nude eyeshadow palettes are some of the best.

[@context_curated]

I love that you made this video! I feel like I try so much makeup, but always return to minerals. I have very dehydrated to dry skin and interestingly this foundation works better for me than liquids (I think my dry skin just soaks up liquids?) I can use a mineral or floral water spray on top that helps!

[@donnalennox7729]

Great tip about the well rested to set the under eye. I have had that for years and I've never used it and I did it this morning and it's perfect !!

[@wonderland2023]

Oh, my experience with mineral powder is it takes15 minutes to reach it's look...turns into what they call a cream. I go to different base but I have always gotten the most complements with minerals so I always go back. I want to try Bobbi Brown vitamin moisture/primer under this, just need to get some!

[@lauras667]

I used the original foundation in fairly light exclusively for nearly 20 years, and it is still one of my favorites, and my skin tone is close to yours. In all these years I have never found good use for the mineral veil, it always clings to my dry areas and pores on the nose. IMO it’s best to use a tad more foundation and buff about twice as much as you did. It seems to set on the face a few minutes later on its own in a beautiful glowy way. Love their blushes and loose eye shadows too.

[@kateszczypinski5840]

Great full face vid! I can't use the Original BM powder but I love the Mineral Veil. I hear the Hydrating Mineral Veil is amazing. That might work well as my 50 yr combo-oily skins starts to transition to be a bit dryer in places.

[@lastlight4252]

I bought Bare Minerals over a decade ago. Stopped wearing it or anything. Now I'm back into makeup and your video has inspired me to try them again!

[@carmengail61]

Looked good & bronzer helped the lightness. Used years back & I remember that you have to swirl & swirl on to the face. But it looked fine afterwards. Liquid just seems easier for me in particular.

Used to use bare minerals powder original many years ago. We are tone twins, fairly light 3 worked best for me. Thanks for the well rested concealer setting tip.. will try!

[@rebeccarapp2434]

Yes, watch Shelbey Wilson for valuable BM application information. You didn't buff it in nearly enough. You should also try the specific brush for the Original powder.

Just recently went into a BM boutique since they have reopened and bought the customizable starter kit along with some other products. I think clean beauty brands with a simple aesthetic is going to be the next big thing. Seeing as lots of people are still working from home or aren't working I believe makeup that is uncomplicated and not fussy will be the future. Historically speaking there is a direct correlation between socioeconomic circumstances and beauty trends --- not to mention the added challenge of face masks. All of my full coverage liquid foundations have been collecting dust since this pandemic started and I'm taking the approach to adjust to the times. Bare Minerals is an excellent choice for its skin-friendly ingredients and natural glowy look.

[@trolfek]

I found the first time used a silicone primer with BM it made a remarkable difference. That might help your patchy areas. I used BM for years as a quick easy work look, especially while traveling. I began experimenting with other makeup after starting to watch YT videos, but I honestly haven’t found a line that works for me as much as BM did for years. I don’t want to have to think too much about my makeup. I just want it to work.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

The trick is, tap a tiny amount into the lid, swirl your brush, tap off the excess and swirl into your skin for much longer than you feel you need to. It's just amazing. And then you can build the cover as much as you want to. I have extremely dry skin, and I maintain gentle exfoliation with Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, which I've been using since 1996, moisturise, let it settle and then apply the foundation. I've honestly never had a problem.

[@mogiraldo3728]

I’ve been trying out the original and the one for blemish complexion and I’ve been really impressed on how natural looking and how perfect it looks ! I live in warm weather country and it has been great over sunscreen

[@joannogas4391]

I'm a huge fan of Bare Minerals and have been wearing it for at least 15 years. The minerals seem particularly good and non-iritating under masks. And they wash out of mask material easily. I never quite got the purpose of Mineral Veil. Afterall, its just putting powder on top of powder, right! But now that I've seen it in action here, it realy does make a difference. I may have mentioned this before, but I mix loose Warmth into liquid foundations that are too yellow to "cool" them down. Can't say if the pressed Warmth will do the same.

[@SSaaNNddYY77]

I am loving Baremineral products again!!! I recently bought a super-sized set of their original powder foundation, powder concealer and diamond veil with their brushes on QVC! I find that if I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer dry touch sun screen as a primer, everything goes on flawlessly! Plus I'm getting uber SPF protection. I love to finish with a setting spray. This seems to melt everything into my skin and it won't rub off. I love their powder pot eye shadows and blushes as well.

[@carolegunfield9460]

This is my favourite foundation and I use it every day. Most people use too much and don't buff long enough. I use well rested before the foundation, under and all around the eye area, it completely blurs any kind kind of shadow. The loose blushers are amazing! I use the shades Beauty and Golden Gate :-)

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi I used BM for years with dry skin. I used a primer to smooth over any extra dry bits and the minerals themselves need to be buffed into the skin. This makes them much more creamy and they sit so much better on dry skin that way. The powder blushes and highlighters are also fab and were available long before all the pressed highlighters on the market (clear radiance immediately springs to mind, though there were many many more shades). I have rosacea and eczema, so a strong benefit of the loose minerals is a minimal ingredient list and how gentle they are for sensitive skin. Mineral veil is an excellent finely milled powder and I've used it for years, even with liquid foundation. it comes in a few shades and variations including more glowy versions with a slight pearlescent effect. I still like BM as a brand and use many of their cosmetics. Best wishes.

[@paulacasey6111]

I use the MAC hydrating powder foundation and like it a lot. I am the same age as your Mom (Mum) and have dry skin. I have never tried the Bare Minerals powder, but I do use their tinted moisturizer and like that. I have a lot of trouble applying regular foundation and do better with the powder. I do put extra moisturizer on my very dry spots and use a hydrating primer.

[@suecone2198]

I can not use the original powder, but I do like the liquid and the stick foundation. The powder shows every pore on my,nose and chin no matter how much swirling happens. Thanks 🙏

There is a hydrating mineral powder foundation I believe--or at least there was at one time. I'd look into It. It looks stunning. It's why I've only used bare minerals since I was 17 and I'm 34!

[@karolinaberneheim5899]

I like the look, natural and fresh! I used their original foundation for many years but at 35 I found it made my skin look dry and tired. That’s when I began the search for another foundation and found your channel. Thanks to all your help with skincare and starting to use the ordinary etc I can now wear the mineral powder with good results again! But I prefer a bb cream from Sensai for an everyday natural look! I’m so glad you tried bare minerals out on your channel, it’s a reminder for me it’s really good stuff. The primer though, no, it’s just to Matt and dry 😬

I have worn Bare Mineral powder foundation for years. I had acne most of my life until I started using this. Liquid foundations always broke me out. Now that I am in my sixties I have so much texture that liquid foundations work better.

I pulled my original BM powder out recently during a hot day after reading its staying power for such weather is good. They weren't wrong! Yes, I was "glowing" and my facemask was quite stained BUT it didn't slide off my face or disappear the way my makeup usually does during a swelter. i LOVE it in the winter.

[@catfinkuk]

The bare minerals primer is essential in my view if you have dry skin. I use fairly light but struggled with their liquid equivalent as it looks too dark for me.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

I've been using the original mineral powder for twenty years now. I was extremely dubious, as a committed liquid and powder girl. I went to an open evening at a salon, and SJ Poole was there, who is the make up artist that represents BM on QVC.I was highly sceptical when she said that I would never go back to l&p. She was absolutely right. I struggled with very slightly itchy skin for the first ten days, and never looked back. At the time, BM didn't do pressed powder, so I got into Laura Geller Balance and Brighten for convenience. I love them. Some of the BM single mineral powder eyeshadow are extraordinary.

[@heathergustafson4237]

I started Bare Minerals when Leslie stared the company. It’s fantastic! You have to make sure these days that they don’t sell you the white brush that was invented for their liquid foundation. Make sure you buy the brush that was originally made for the loose powder. That’s very important to get the correct coverage the product promises. With that said it’s a beyond fantastic product. The lid a little powder in the cap,swirl your brush tap excess on lid and make circular motion. Walaaaa

I’m really liking the products. I have the pressed powder foundation, loose concealer powder and original veil along with a blush (a freebie I can’t recall the type) and a couple loose shadows which are beautiful too. I previously tried the Laura Mercier mineral foundation and hate it. It emphasizes my pores horribly. The Bare Minerals does not.

The it Cosmetics no 7 brush is my absolute favorite foundation brush! It's so soft and applies my makeup beautifully! I have normal skin, drier in the winter. When I wear a powder foundation I always finish with a dewy setting spray which not only sets everything but it also makes the powder look airbrushed and satiny. I can't wear powder foundation alone without it looking very dry. I also wear a blush like Milani's baked blush in Luminoso. The sheen it provides also lends to the overall satin finish. :)

Just wanted to tell you that I've been wearing powder since Spring. Yes, it's quick and SO COOL in the heat. I live in a very hot and humid climate. Anyway you look lovely☺🌴

Really like it Gemma especially with no shadow. I think it's really classy and skin looks flawless.

Hi. I'm a fan of the j.cat aquainsurance powder foundation. I apply a hydrating setting spray over the powder foundation from catrice. It looks amazing and glowy and it's stay the whole day. Greetings from Germany 😙🤗

I've used bm for years and I have a few shades that I mix together depending on the time of year. The tinted veil is lovely for summer, worth getting to add more colour to the fair base.

You can mist with water lightly after applying and that will help alleviate the dry look and patches of the mineral powder.

I use the Bare Minerals Pro Foundation when I want a mineral foundation. I like it much better than the loose foundation. I use the Mineral Veil all the time, even with my other foundations. It's my favorite powder to use. I also use the Lashtopia but I use an eyelash primer with it. It seems to stop the flakiness.

I love Bare minerals. I have been wearing it for years. I used to use the matte foundation when I was in my 20s. I then switched to the tinted moisturizer sometime in my 30s and then I switched to their long wearing bare pro foundation. Might have to try their mineral foundation again. I love their mineral veils. They’re the only finishing powder that I can wear. I did recently tried their bare pro pressed foundation powder. I had to send it back because I had a major reaction to the talc that is in it. So if somebody is very sensitive to talc that is not the foundation for them to use. As always love your videos😍❤️

I’d be curious to know what difference the primer might have made to your experience and final look. I’ve used Bare Minerals for years and years and absolutely love it because I’m liquid-foundation challenged and like to get my makeup done quickly.

I’m very interested in knowing what the BM primer looks like under as well! I use BM original as well as their mineral powder concealer broad spectrum SPF 20 in the color Bisque, AFTER I have applied a wet concealer by L’Oréal. I’ve never used the mineral veil but I am definitely buying it & the BM primer today from the Ulta app!! I’m 43 and my collagen in my face has disappeared, and bc I don’t use fillers or Botox, my skin looks horribly “old”. Especially my eyelids. My pores are also larger now and my skin is soooo much drier than before this whole menopause thing!! I had been using IT Cosmetics CC cream bc of this new texture of my skin, but also the mineral powder foundation on the days I don’t use the CC cream. Anyway, I will save this video & your comment, and come back to share with you how the primer faired!

I think the only mineral powder I've used is the Laura Mercier's. From what other users said it was more light reflecting and more dry skin-ftiendly than the Bare Minerals one. I liked, but never used it much. Clarins have an "almost" mineral powder - Skin Illusion - which is very flattering on even dry skin. It's not talc free (confusing as talc is one of the most common minerals around, but makeup marketing isn't always logical), but still wears pretty much like a mineral powder: best when buffed into the skin and looks better as the day goes on.

I used to wear this. For YEARS. I still use the blush and their quick change brush cleaner. I’m just too dry now to use all powders.

I love your energy thank you for the video.💐 Bless 🕊

[@pattygosselin1037]

Love this! I am a big fan of the BM Complexion Rescue Radiance - I use it as a primer/sunscreen under foundation. Beautiful layer of glow! I’ll be ordering the mineral veil and the original foundation powder. Thanks, Gemma!💋

[@sabsa70]

Beautiful results, but not a single product that I want to buy 🤷‍♀️. So thanks again for testing it for the pack, Gemma! Love, hugs and kisses. Sabine 😘

I have really dry skin and using to primer stops all of the lifting. It's my favourite primer
