The bareMinerals The Original Get Started Kit in Golden Deep is designed to offer a natural, luminous complexion. The core of its performance lies in the Original Loose Mineral Foundation, which, when applied correctly, provides buildable coverage that feels weightless.
For best results, users should follow the "Swirl, Tap, Buff" application method:
Swirl: Dispense a small amount of foundation into the cap. Swirl your brush into the minerals until they disappear into the bristles.
Tap: Tap off any excess foundation from the brush back into the cap.
Buff: Gently buff the foundation onto your skin in small, circular motions, starting from the outside of your face and working inwards. Repeat this process in thin layers until desired coverage is achieved.
This technique ensures even distribution, prevents a powdery finish, and allows the minerals to meld with your skin for a natural glow. The Golden Deep shade is specifically formulated to blend seamlessly with deep skin tones that have golden undertones, preventing an ashy or mismatched appearance.
The mineral-based formulation is a significant advantage for those with sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin. Unlike some traditional liquid foundations, bareMinerals products are known for being free from harsh chemicals, parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances, reducing the likelihood of irritation. This allows the skin to breathe throughout the day, promoting healthier-looking skin over time.
Whether you desire a sheer veil to even out skin tone or more substantial coverage for minor imperfections, the kit allows for flexibility. Applying a single, light layer provides a transparent finish, while additional thin layers can be buffed in to build up to a medium-full coverage without looking heavy or cakey. This adaptability makes it suitable for various occasions, from everyday wear to more polished looks.
Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Allow your moisturizer to fully absorb before applying makeup.
Dispense Product: Gently tap a small amount of the Original Loose Mineral Foundation into the product cap.
Load Brush: Swirl your designated foundation brush into the minerals in the cap until they are fully absorbed into the bristles.
Remove Excess: Tap the brush gently against the edge of the cap to remove any loose, excess powder.
Apply to Skin: Using small, firm, circular motions, buff the foundation onto your face. Start with areas that need less coverage and gradually work towards areas requiring more. Build coverage in thin layers, repeating steps 2-5 as needed.
Skin Tone: The Golden Deep shade is specifically designed for deep skin tones with golden or warm undertones. For different complexions, other bareMinerals 'Get Started' kits are available.
Skin Type: bareMinerals mineral makeup is generally well-suited for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive, oily, and dry skin. Its non-comedogenic properties make it ideal for acne-prone individuals.
Other Products: Compatible with most skincare routines and other bareMinerals products like primers or finishing powders (not explicitly included in this 4-piece kit but can be integrated).
Brush Cleaning: Regularly clean your makeup brushes to prevent product buildup and bacterial growth. Use a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear, reshape bristles, and lay flat or hang upside down to air dry completely.
Product Storage: Store your bareMinerals products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their integrity and extend shelf life.
Avoid Cross-Contamination: Always use clean brushes and avoid sharing makeup to maintain hygiene.
