Questions & Answers for bareMinerals bareMinerals Customizable Get Started Kit
Question
Does the $14 discount for the bareMinerals Customizable Get Started Kit count in Sephora stores?
It says a $14 discount will be applied at discount so you can buy the kit AND the foundation at $62. I was wondering if that discount works in stores too? Because I don't really want to pay &76 for the kit and the foundation. Thanks!

I would deffinatley go for the Original. As you age, you want your skin to continue to have a youthful glow. If you have oilier skin, put a nice setting powder on top of it, but I would say deffinitley get the original.

I would take into consideration your pore size and level of oil you have on your skin. If you have large pores and are oily than I'd say use the matte if your pores are smaller and you have combo skin or dry skin I'd use original.

I would go for the original which has a soft glow to it. I think you would find the extra softness shimmer would accent your skin nicely. I might try the matte in cheek color and eye shadows and then at the brow, just below your eye brow, brush a think line of the shimmering highlighter shades to brighten and open up the eye.

That depends on how oily your skin is! If you have dry or dull skin then go for original, but if you have oily skin then go for matte - Wash your face, and then wait an hour without putting anything on it and the look at your t-zone for shine! If it's really shiny or oily then fo for matte :)

The primer doesn't count towards the "7" -- primer I guess would technically make it 8 things in the kit if I'm counting correctly.

It comes with one full-sized foundation, which you can select yourself. The "all-over face color" is a color-enhancing mineral that you use as a blush (the video that comes with the kit shows you how to apply). The mineral veil is a finishing powder.

Yes, "all over face color" (that's the foundation) and "mineral veil" are 2 different items. You get 3 brushes, foundation, Mineral Veil, Warmth, and Prime Time - that's the 7 products. You select your foundation separately, but at checkout, the price is discounted to the advertised sale price.

You get one foundation in matte or original, you decide plus you decide the color.
Then you get warmth all over face color. That's for accenting. You can watch the DVD to learn how to use that product. To finish off the look, Mineral Veil adds a very light sheen to you look. I think it softens the overall appearance of your makeup.

Yup! It's "customizable" because you get 1 full size foundation in the color that matches your skin, along with the brushes, dvd, primer sample, jar of Warmth and the mineral veil. The box has an empty space open for the foundation to go in, and the rest of the goodies are enclosed within the box itself. For the foundation, you pick out the color you need out from the display, and then pop it into the empty slot in the box if you are in store. Hope that helps!

The "mineral veil" and "warmth/all over face color" are NOT the foundation. They are additional mineral-based power make up that you apply as finishing powder and as bronzer. The foundation is bought separate from the kit, and discounted at checkout (this is good, because it means you get to pick the exact foundation color and formula you want). Just add the "get started kit" to you shopping cart, and then add the full sized foundation of your choice to the shopping cart, Sephora will knock off $14 when you check out. Great deal on awesome products!

I think that this product is great for people with larger pores since it won't clog them like most makeups will. I find that most powders don't become cakey unless you layer on too much. A little goes a long way with this product and you don't really want to be able to tell that you're wearing it. It will adjust the imperfections but it isn't going to give the "I'm perfectly airbrushed with no pores" look. It won't look cakey.

My skin gets oily in random spots, and my skin tone is sort of patchy-red in other random spots. Plus, I have big pores around my nose and my forehead, but not anywhere else. What a pain!
I've found that bareMinerals works perfect for me. It makes everything look even and smooth. The best part is that I can layer it on for more coverage when I want to look extra-nice. When I'm going to work, I'll do a pretty quick application that still makes my skin look even. If I'm going out, I go over my face a few times until I look flawless. It's super easy and looks awesome!
Even with several layers, it never looks (or feels!) cakey. Make sure you exfoliate your face and use moisturizer, because it will make little peeling pieces of dry skin more noticeable. I usually use tweezers to pull off those flakes of skin.
