bareMinerals products are powered by nourishing, skin-loving minerals. There are new launches including bareMinerals barePro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation with SPF 20, Good Hydrations Silky Face Primer, Combo Control Milky Face Primer and barePro Contour Face-Shaping Trio which I have been testing for few weeks and finally writing about them in this post now. I am still testing the bareMinerals SkinLongevity Vital Power Infusion which I will be reviewing once I have tested it.
bareMinerals barePro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation with SPF 20
bareMinerals barePro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation with SPF 20 is the newest foundation from this brand. The Mineral Lock formula provides 24 hours of coverage and the long-wear technology mimics the natural lipids in the skin. The finish is natural matte. The formula is creamy and very comfortable to apply and wear.
It is oil, paraben, and fragrance-free, non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic. There are a number of good ingredients in this foundation that provide good skincare in makeup. Papaya enzymes in this formula help to exfoliate and improve skin texture. Bamboo stem extract gives a blurring and soft-focus effect. Above all, this foundation is available in 30 shades means quite a good range of all skin shades.

Luxe Performance Brush
Luxe Performance Brush blends around difficult spots like the nose and eyes. The brush fibres are tightly bound and are hypoallergenic. The coverage is great and is buildable based on the requirement. The formula is very creamy and easy to apply, the finish is semi-matte means it does not looks full matte but natural matte.
I am impressed by the staying power of barePro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation. It has stayed well for over 12 hours during the period I tested. There was not any irritation or breakouts while using this foundation. I have used it in every way, with the beauty blender, with the luxe performance brush and also with the regular brushes that I use for other foundations and it has not disappointed me. However, it looks very natural in every way I tried. Buy it HERE.

bareMinerals Primers
A primer's main purpose is to work with the skin to improve its tone and texture while equalizing its specific needs which can be controlling oil, balancing or hydrating dry skin. Good Hydrations Silky Face Primer helps minimize pores and fine lines. It utilizes the hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid and natural sugar in plants that protect against dehydration called Trehalose. Apart from that, there are Mica, Titanium Dioxide, and Silica which provide their mineral properties for luminizing soft focus.
This primer works well to keep the makeup in place, I had no issues using this and been a nice addition to my primers. The makeup glides on easily with this primer as a base.
Combo Control Milky Face Primer is a milky serum at first and transforms into an oil-absorbing powder. It balances oil for combination skin and maintains moisture balance for other skin types. Silica and African Tree Bark extract helps to diminish the appearance of pores, soak up excess oil and blur skin imperfections.
Overall, the finish is very natural and makes a good base for makeup application. Apart from that, this primer did not break me out or caused any irritation. The makeup stayed on well with this primer as a base and my skin looked natural and not shiny or oily. Both primers work well with barePro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation.
barePro Contour Face-Shaping Trio
barePro Contour Face-Shaping Trio is a trio of shades to flatter the features by three steps – Shade, Blend, and Pop. There are two palettes, Fair to Medium and Tan to Dark available to suit a range of skin tones. The shades work to contour and flatter the features.
The darker shade helps define the cheekbones. The ‘Blend' shade smooths the dark edges. Lastly, the ‘Pop' works as a highlighter, under the brow and on the cheekbone. Finally, ‘Shade' gives shape to the jawline and on the sides of forehead.
All the products are available at bareMinerals.com. If you ask me which one out of these is my must-have and would recommend the most to you to check out is the barePro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation with SPF 20.
