A Helpful Consideration Of Bare Essentials Kits And Makeup
Bare Essentials makeup is probably the fastest growing brand of makeup in the country. From TV ad sales to full counters in department stores nationwide, the company has really boomed. However, is it as effective as they claim?
Keep reading for a helpful review of Bare Essentials.
Price
Your basic Bare Minerals starter kit will usually retail for between $75 and $105. So, keep your eyes out for sales - and if you're comfortable shopping online or through QVC, you'll often find the best deals and packages during the company's television shopping specials.
Admittedly, the price is high for what is essentially a foundation and blush kit. However, the starter kit also comes with multiple brushes - and every makeup expert knows, a good brush kit can be costly. If you're on a budget or just want try the product without making a full commitment, you can purchase a smaller starter kit online for about $59.
Ease of Use
It's important to know exactly how to apply your Bare Essentials makeup. Unlike regular cream or chemical-based makeup, it's a much different approach and won't look good if not applied properly. After buying the product, I tried applying it before I watched the enclosed tutorial DVD. The results weren't good.
After my initial failure, I watched the DVD and visited a retail counter to get a full, in-person tutorial with a sales representative. She provided me a complete lesson on how to apply the makeup, and it was well worth the time and effort. It looked great and was easier than I thought.
So, admittedly, the product isn't intuitive, and most consumers will either need to watch the DVD tutorial or visit a retail location for a complete tutorial. It also takes about five-to-ten minutes to go through all the steps, meaning it's a little time-consuming for those on the go.
Actual Product
When applied properly, Bare Essentials looks great. It's not cakey, nor does it look overdone. The finish is smooth and seamless, and the overall coverage is great. Also, because it's a mineral, it won't clog or suffocate your pores, meaning your skin won't suffer.
However, despite the fantastic foundation and blusher range of products, Bare Minerals just doesn't bring it when it comes to their eye and lip makeup. The eye powders are hard to control, difficult to use and most wearers will likely opt for an eye makeup solution that's a little more traditional.
So, if you're looking for something light, but effective, then Bare Essentials makeup is a great way to go.
