NEW: bareMinerals The Beauty of Nature Collection

The bareMinerals Limited Edition The Beauty of Nature Collection is absolutely like it's name- beautiful! I have already swatched and worn lippies in both perfection and confidence and also their blush in That Peach Tho (all sampled below). The colors are perfect for any skintone and as you can see by their swatches below- there is a large variety of options in this collection. The lippies are moist and have long lasting wear. The blush I sampled had a subtle hint of color and is also buildable if a stronger look is preferred. This limited edition collection is sure to be a hit so get it before it's gone!

There are many more color options for all three product categories- so please visit their site to find the right color(s) to suit your Valentine's Day and/or every day's needs!

Get The Look: Hailey Bieber at the Instyle Golden Globes After Party

Absolutely stunning I say! Hailey Bieber looked as radiant as ever so if you want to get the look-please read all of the wonderfully helpful step by step instructions below.

Celebrity makeup artist, Denika Bedrossian, created Sunday night’s makeup look on bareMinerals Global Beauty Ambassador, Hailey Bieber, for the Instyle Golden Globes After Party and a NEW lipstick from the brand made it’s red carpet debut!








Who: Hailey Bieber // Instyle Golden Globes After Party

The Inspiration: For Hailey’s 2020 InStyle Golden Globes After Party look, Denika wanted to create a natural beauty with a sexy finish. For her makeup, she used all bareMinerals products, as they both love using such clean makeup.

How to Get the Look:

Skin:

Earlier in the day Hailey applied the bareMinerals Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion Serum to hydrate and be glam-ready for the night. To start, Denika always begins with bareMinerals PrimeTime Foundation Primerto create a smooth start.

Face:

She then used a small amount of bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick with her fingers just around the eyes and nose, keeping the skin natural. Using your finger to apply naturally warms up the product for a more sheer application.

Eyes:

For eyes she used the bareMinerals Gen Nude Eyeshadow Palette in ‘Latte’ to create a warm eye, adding a bit of clear gloss on top as she walked out the door to give that dewy shine. She then layered bareMinerals Lashtopia Mega Volume Mineral-Based Mascara in black to darken the lash lines.

Lips:

For her lips, Denika used the brand NEW bareMinerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick in ‘Fortitude’, tapping it onto the lips to create a stained effect. No sharp lines, just effortless and clean...almost like she just had a basket of berries.

Where to Find Them: bareMinerals products are available at bareMinerals boutiques and bareMinerals.com. Also available at Sephora, ULTA, Macy’s, Dillard’s, fine spas and salons. Visit bareminerals.com for store locations.
