If you’re a fan of clean and cruelty-free beauty, you’ve likely heard of bareMinerals. My journey with this brand began when my sister developed allergies to common makeup ingredients, leading us to seek out safer alternatives. Since then, bareMinerals has become a staple in our family’s beauty routine. After extensive testing and many trials, I’m excited to share my top six must-have products from this brand. Here’s where you should invest your beauty budget:

1. BAREPRO® 16HR Skin-Perfecting Powder Foundation

   In other words, my sister’s holy grail. I think she has about three of these lying around at any given time. This foundation is a true game-changer, offering sweat, humidity, and transfer-resistant coverage with a natural matte finish. Recognized by New Beauty 2022 Awards as the Best Powder Foundation and a 2022 EBONY Beauty Award Winner, it’s no surprise this is one of their bestsellers. Proven results show that skin tone looks more even in just two weeks, and skin texture is visibly smoother in just four weeks. Plus, it provides 24-hour oil and shine control, making it a perfect choice for all-day wear.

2. ORIGINAL MINERAL VEIL® Loose Setting Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 25

This product is my personal favorite, especially during the spring and summer months or any sunny day when I want to skip traditional sunscreen. This talc-free, translucent loose setting powder not only sets makeup beautifully but also offers Broad Spectrum SPF 25 protection. With just seven ingredients, it delivers a naturally airbrushed, soft matte finish that’s perfect for any occasion. Plus, it’s photo-friendly with no flashback, ensuring you look flawless in every picture.

3. GEN NUDE® Highlighting Blush

She is beauty, she is grace. I’ve always been a fiend for highlighting blushes, and this one ranks high on my list. The GEN NUDE® Highlighting Blush is a perfect 2-in-1 blush and highlighter hybrid, offering just a light pop of color with the ideal amount of glow to achieve that fresh, dewy look. Dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free, it’s also vegan and clean — free of talc, gluten, synthetic fragrance, PEGs, and more.

4. COMPLEXION RESCUE® Tinted Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Mineral SPF 30

This is a cult favorite and a classic bestseller. It has won numerous prestigious awards, including the Allure Best of Beauty Hall of Fame 4x Winner (2023) and (2022). My sister absolutely loves this product because it builds from sheer to light coverage, creating a dewy, healthy-looking glow. It visibly evens skin tone and blurs imperfections, making it a go-to for a natural, radiant finish. She would kill me if I didn’t include it on this list!

Incorporating these bareMinerals products into your beauty routine can truly transform your skin and makeup game. Each product is thoughtfully crafted to cater to a variety of needs, ensuring everyone can find their perfect match. I hope this list helps you discover some new favorites. Happy shopping, Beauty Beamers!
