Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your bareMinerals Get Started Set, ensure all products are securely closed. The loose powders are ready for immediate use. The Beautiful Finish Brush should be fluffed gently before its first use to prepare the bristles.
Compatibility
This set is designed to work synergistically. The ORIGINAL Loose Foundation is best applied with the Beautiful Finish Brush, and the MINERAL VEIL® Loose Finishing Powder seamlessly sets the foundation.
- Layering: These mineral products layer well with other bareMinerals products, such as concealers or blushes.
- Skincare: Apply after your usual skincare routine (cleanser, toner, moisturizer, sunscreen if separate). Allow skincare to absorb fully before applying foundation for best adherence and finish.
- Primers: While not strictly necessary, bareMinerals foundations can be applied over a suitable primer for extended wear or to address specific skin concerns.
Product Care
Proper care of your products and tools ensures longevity and optimal performance.
- Frequency: Clean your Beautiful Finish Brush weekly with a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap and lukewarm water.
- Method: Swirl the bristles in the cleanser/soap, rinse thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and lay the brush flat or hang it upside down to dry completely. Avoid submerging the ferrule (metal part) in water to prevent glue degradation.
- Benefit: Regular cleaning prevents product buildup, ensures smooth application, and maintains hygiene.
- Location: Store the foundation and finishing powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
- Sealing: Ensure caps are tightly closed after each use to prevent spills and protect the product from moisture and air exposure.
- Travel: When traveling, consider tapping out excess powder from the sifter into the cap, then placing a cotton pad or tissue inside the sifter before closing the lid securely to prevent spillage.
- General Hygiene: Avoid sharing makeup brushes and products to prevent the spread of bacteria. Always wash your hands before applying makeup.
