When I saw bare minerals at Generation Beauty 2014, I was geek'd! Then I was quickly let down by the never-ending line to obtain the free product. Nevertheless, I was granted one wish by the Fairy Glam mother. My mom and I managed to get bumped to the front of the line to get our hands on this foundation.
My mother was matched for Bare Walnut- 18 and I was matched for Bare Mocha- 20. Here's a little info on the foundation.
Product Claim:
Bare Walnut 18 description: For dark skin with rich golden undertones.
Bare Mocha 20 description: For deep skin with rich golden undertones.
- Ultra thin, Silky Texture (true)
- Reveals bright, more even-toned skin with a no makeup look and feel. (I haven't used it long enough to confirm)
- Coconut derived base with Jojoba-coated mineral pigments & Lilac plant stem cells and Vitamin C. (true)
- Non-Chemical Broad Spectrum SPF 20 (true)
- Skin loving formula (true)
- No silicone (true)
- No Oil (I did a little digging and Jojoba esters is hydrogenated jojoba oil, in layman's terms it comes from Jojoba but is free of the oil with lots of chemistry)
- No Parabens (Double check!)
- No fragrance (it does have a slight smell but I can't but figure out what it smells like??)
- Non- Hypoallergenic (true)
- Non-Comedogenic(true)
Price: $29.00 USD (most retail stores)
Ingredients: Titanium dioxide 11.0%, caprylic/capric triglyceride, coconut alkanes, silica, stearalkonium, hectorite, lecithin, glycerin, maltodextrin, coco-caprylate/caprate, jojoba esters, propylene carbonate, tocopheryl acetate, soil minerals/syringa vulgaris (lilac) leaf cell culture extract, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium hyaluronate, phenoxyethanol, mica, iron oxides
First, I applied the bare mineral brightening primer, and upon applying Bare Mocha I quickly noticed the color was significantly lighter. Unfortunately the zombie look isn't my thing, so I will have to pass on Bare Mocha as my foundation. I will say, however, the foundation was light to the touch, and feels as described like your Bare Skin.
Swatches : Top- Bare Mocha, (20) Middle: Bare Walnut (18), Bottom: L.A Girl Concealer in Toffee
I do like the Bare Walnut as a highlighter. Pictured to the left : top- Bare Walnut and bottom-LA Girl Concealer in Toffee. As you can see these both can work as a highlighter, however the bare walnut is a bit darker and will work best for my summer skin tone.
For my oily skin ladies, I would suggest a setting powder. I have dry skin but I wanted to test out the Mineral Veil.
All in all, I would love for Bare minerals to add deeper colors to this line of foundation. If they do I would definitely purchase this foundation.
