The Beginner’s Guide to Mineral Makeup

If you’re new to mineral makeup, you’re not alone! With so many options on the market, it can be tricky to know where to start. At BareFaced Beauty, we believe in keeping things simple, natural, and kind to your skin. Here’s everything you need to know to get started with mineral makeup and why it might just be the best thing you ever try for your skin.

What is Mineral Makeup?

Mineral makeup is made from natural, finely milled minerals sourced from the earth. Unlike traditional cosmetics, mineral makeup is free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and fillers. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a more natural approach to beauty—especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

Why Choose Mineral Makeup?

• Gentle on Skin: Our formulas are designed to be kind, even for the most sensitive skin types.
• Free from Nasties: No parabens, talc, or artificial colours—just pure, skin-loving minerals.
• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Every BareFaced Beauty product is 100% vegan and never tested on animals.
• Natural Finish: Achieve a radiant, healthy glow that looks like your skin, only better.

How to Choose the Right Mineral Foundation Shade

Finding your perfect match is easier than you think!

• Know your undertone: Are you cool, warm, or neutral?
• Test on your jawline: Mineral powders blend seamlessly, so test a small amount along your jaw for the most natural look.
• Buildable Coverage: Start light and build up to your desired coverage—mineral makeup is incredibly versatile.

How to Apply Mineral Makeup

1. Prep Your Skin: Cleanse and moisturise as usual.
2. Tap a Small Amount: Sprinkle a little foundation into the lid.
3. Swirl & Buff: Use a soft, fluffy brush to swirl the powder and tap off any excess. Buff gently onto your skin in circular motions.
4. Layer as Needed: Add a touch more for extra coverage or a flawless finish.

Common Myths About Mineral Makeup—Debunked!
