Flawless coverage

Bare Escentuals mineral foundation looks like a powder but feels like a cream. The water-resistant formula feels like you’re not wearing any make-up at all!

To apply:

Brush application

Step 1: Swirl a small amount of Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation into the lid until the minerals are tucked into the bristles. Use the Flawless Application Face Brush, which comes with the foundation, for light coverage or the Kabuki Brush for greater coverage.

Step 2: Tap off the excess. Bare Escentuals mineral foundation shouldn’t be visible on the outside of the brush.

Step 3: Buff the foundation onto the skin in a swirling, circular motion, starting on the outside of your face near your cheek bones. Then buff around your face, working your way to the cheeks, forehead and nose until you are satisfied. Remember, less is more when applying Bare Escentuals mineral foundation.

QVC presenter Alison Keenan:

I searched for years to find a foundation that would give my skin a smooth, flawless finish without disappearing in an hour. I have high colour on my face and these areas would become noticeable very quickly with liquid foundations. Bare Escentuals mineral foundation is everything I've ever needed in a foundation - light, even coverage that lasts, with no clogging or creasing! I haven't had a spot or break-out since I've been using it and, because of its SPF, I don't need to apply greasy sun creams to my face any more.
