I have never owned Clear Radiance, but for the many other 'All-Over Face colors' that I have, I only apply after my foundation. It seems to show up best when used this way, and creates anything from a natural, 'glow-from-within' appearance, to a dewy, simple complexion booster. I like to achieve an actual 'radiance' to the face, a very light accentuation to my tone so as not to be so noticeable. I usually apply gently (with a VERY light hand and very little on the brush) along the temples and both sides of my hair line, across my cheeks but never over my nose or below near my jaw. This seems to create a natural sheen that gives off a healthy appearance. For a more prominent, yet more subtle, illuminating glow, try just dusting (again lightly) first across the apples of the cheek where it should be most concentrated. Then, without adding anymore to the brush, steadly sweep upwards towards the cheek bones to define and highlight! Good luck :)

I use it over my regular makeup and under my blush. I find it give your complexion a dewy, natural look.

I apply it after my foundation. It is a pinkish color, but it is very soft. I apply it to the brigde of my nose and cheecks.

You can also use to add some shimmer on your shoulders, down the center of your leg and arms. This makes a great multitasker.

It really just depends on what All-Over Face Color you buy. In my opinion clear radiance doesn't do a whole lot, its a lot of simmer and very little color payoff. It's great as a highlight on your cheekbones or under your brow bone. My favorite is warmth. Great contour color, bronzer and I even love using it to warm up my summer lipsticks for fall!

You can use it for:
Lips mixing with a clear gloss
Cheeks
Highlighter
Eyeshadow if applied wet
Mixed in with liquid foundation or mosturizer for you face
Contour

I use Clear Radiance under my foundation. I brush it on my eye lids, above my brows ands across my cheeckbones. I also lightly dust it under my eyes, if I have bad circles)

Don't worry about the pinky look Clear Radiance has in the jar. It really does go on "clear" as indicated and leaves a soft glow behind on your skin that will minimize pores and imperfections. It will make you look luminous without looking glittery or shiny. I have Clear Radiance and I buff it on my cheeks, temples, bridge of my nose, and forehead before applying my bareMinerals foundation. On the weekends I often apply Clear Radiance and follow with just Mineral Veil.

I love this product, and when I first bought it, I thought it looked very dark in the jar and was a little put off. But, when I use it, it makes my skin look great. I use it over my foundation. I mainly use it on my cheeks, but I also lightly brush it on my forehead, chin, and over my nose. Just make sure to not use too much, a tiny, little bit goes a long way!

For me personally, I use the Clear Radiance(or any other All-Over-Face-Color of choice) after I have applied my foundation and then I do my eyeshadows and and blusher afterwards. And, when I do I only use it in tiny amounts. As, its effects are supposed to be sublte and not real obvious.

I like to use the face colors over my foundation. I blend them upwards over the apples of my cheeks. The lighter shades I use on the sides of my nose & chin, also on the edges of my forehead, & along the jawline.

I use it over BE foundation as blush. That shade might be too light to use as blush - it's pretty light and sheer - but you may want to try mixing it with your foundation for that shimmer/glow effect.

First off, I wouldnt recommend using ALL over the face, I put the radiances on the apples of my cheeks and blend out to my hair line and to sculpt your forehead and make it look like an instant face lift, apply a small amount to the top of your forehead at the hairline. Go lightly!!

I’m very fair, when I use warmth I mix it with a little mineral veil. I then brush it all over like a bronzer. I then use pure radiance (a light peachy color) and lightly brush that only on the top of my cheek bones. You can use pure radiance alone in the beginning of summer; it’ll wake up your face.

try bare radiance -- no, really!

For me, the faux tan works great, but I really only need a tiny bit. If I use too much it doesn't look good. But you might want to try it in "warmth" - that is the shade I used to use.

TRY A LITTLE KISS OF SUN...WORKS GREAT.

Try the all-over-face Rose Radiance. It is very sheer and doesn't shimmer very much.

I just saw a color that I want to try called something like "a little bit of sun"-- lighter than faux tan not as warm as warmth. I like to mix the faux tan too with the pure radience which is really a great sheer look.

I swirl a little warmth in the cover/lid and then sprinkle all the make up back in the compact. I then use my kabuki brush and apply from the forehead down. Then I use my blusher and finally the mineral veil. Nice natural tan color with softness.

try the rose...you'll LOVE it!

I just found a solution to that problem last week when my order arrived. I purchased Soft Focus Warmth for use as a blusher and found it is an excellent substitute for Warmth because it's just a little lighter. It sure makes a difference! I normally wear Fairly Light foundation in the winter, but have tanned to a Medium Beige. I use the Soft Focus Warmth for a healthy glow and find it's a real natural color without appearing orange. I also changed to Tinted Mineral Veil. It can be worn by itself or over Medium Beige foundation for a nice, tanned appearance and smooth, even complexion. My new look makes me look younger than my recent 52nd birthday says I am!

Try All-Over Face Color in A Little Sun.

I have also had trouble finding a color that doesn't look orange. I found that Medium Beige which has a golden undertone looks 'sun kissed' and looks very natural. Hopes this works for you.

Rose Radiance has sparkle in it but in a good way bcuz its not overpowering.

I chose rose radiance, and it works well for a sun-kissed look on fair skin - especially if you're going for not too much color. You can use it for a little bit of glimmer and glow. The color is definitely not too bright, and not orange on light skin.

the pure radiance does. I also use True which has some sparkle.

You can apply it all over your face with a big fluffy brush. I would stay away from Faux Tan and Warmth because those are too dark and orange for fair skin. I would go with Clear radiance, it is a sheer transluscent glow and you can't go wrong.

I've also found the 'Angled Face Brush' to be especially effective in applying these specific colors. It may take a day or two at most to get used to, but I feel it's a great brush for beginners being introduced to the All-Over Face colors. The angle of the brush allows you to apply a precise sweep just about anywhere, and the bristles flow nicely against the contours of the cheeks, forehead and temples, eye area and even the jawline. If you're looking to conserve money as the brushes can be expensive, this is a great one to invest in as it is great for blush as well.

First of all if you are new to BE colors, I know how it can be confusing wondering what you should "use" to apply this or that! Did you buy the "beginners" kit? It comes with a great little DVD that tells you all you need to know and more about application! With that said, even if you did not buy the kit; I too have a fair complexion. In the language of most other cosmetic companies, that usually mean "ivory', and "good luck to you" if it didn't match your skin very well, well you were stuck with bottles upon bottles in a drawer somewhere in your powder room. With BE, If you buy the "light" kit , it does come with "2" slightly different shades that do match most people(either one or the other or with mixing the two together).So, But, unfortunately, I found that the "light" color kit was "too" dark for me. I now buy a color called "Fairly Light" off the shelf by itself. It's a perfect match for me because it is both light in color ,and it' has a neutral base with no 'pink' overtones mixed in. If you "do" have pink undertones to your skin and you are very fair then try "Fair." Application is important and you 'must' have a brush or two or three!(LOL) Again I talk about the beginners kit because it gives you a nice variety of brushes to get you started at such a great price. I use the Handi-Buki brush that came in the kit to apply my mineral foundation. A few sprinkles mixed around in the lid to cover the outer layer of bristles (of the handi-buki )and that is all you need. I apply going down my nose first (taking stock of redness and discolorations there as I go)and outward from there to your cheeks, chin,forehead,etc. All of this takes a very short time! Now,If you have any blemishes,birthmarks,redness,etc to cover up ;you can take the "maximum coverage concealer brush"(also in the beginners kit) to those areas "before" you do your all over mineral foundation. Just dip it into your mineral foundation and dot over areas you wish to cover,feather out and blend in. Yes it will cover wonderfully and it will stay put all day. So to answer your question in regards to application? Yes,Yes! You need the wonderful brush(es) that come either with the kit or you can buy them one at a time if you like. There are many different brushes to choose from as you begin to enjoy using the BE products and trying different techniques that suit you personally! Don't forget to top everything off with that Minderal Veil! Just a sheer sweep of Mineral Veil across your nose, forehead,and cheeks and you will have that wonderful "lit from within" or "candle-lit" glow that we are all so familiar with!! To me, Mineral Veil is a must! It just makes your skin seem flawless and seemless! It doesn't look like a mask and it is feathery light!Use a nice fluffy "Kabuki" brush and invest in a tiny travel size one too if you travel. Once you get the knack of the application down, you will be amazed at how fast you are out of that door in the morning! The time saved is amazing! You will never go back to liquid formulas again! Good luck to you and remember to have fun as you learn!

I was wondering the same thing- it looks like they discontinued the 1 oz and the .07 is all they offer now. I agree the container is no good!

You can purchase a bigger container in the actual Bare Minerals Boutique.

Hi Amy,
They still make the 1 oz. size, I usually find it at a Sephora store. I'm pretty sure there isn't a larger size, unless you try the Faux Tan lotion in the bottle. I've only received the smaller size with the beginners kit. I hope I was able to answer your question.

I would start with the Medium Face Color. You can adjust the amount you use if it isn't dark enough. I love A Little Sun....you can adjust the color on your cheeks, nose and forhead. Love the product....Start with a little at first.

A pinkish coral. This will give color without it looking overpowering.

I would try some thing from the radiances.

I must say definitely no, these 'All-Over Face colors' should not be used in place of the mineral foundation. The more multi-purpose nature of foundation is meant to conceal any flaws or blemishes in the skin, while providing a nice, even, and neutral canvas for colors and enhancers to be applied. These face colors are simply brighteners and highlighters for the skin. I disagree with the reviewer being a makeup artist, to suggest 'Warmth or Warm Radiance' be or can be substituted for foundation with darker complexions. I have medium skin, yet warmth appears to 'fake-bake' on me, as it is also only designed to add accentuation and glow, not provide an all over face concealer, nor a cohesive, natural-finish look to skin. Same goes true for lighter tones. I suggest you experiement with the more 'Rosey'er' shades that appear somewhat pink in hue if you wish to match an actual color for all-over face that will best compliment your skin. Such examples would be Clear or Rose Radiance (which ARE radiances that have shine, but also some color enhancing), or even 'True'. Using a very light hand and a minimal amount on the brush, sweep only along the sides of the hairline and temples, the eyes, and especially (my favorite trick), on the round, apples of the cheeks, then sliding upwards to blend with cheek bones. This will give you a dewy, naturally radiant glow. If you wish for something more subtle and apparent yet undetectable, try either applying even more lightly than if placing over skin, and just highlight in very small, precise areas and amounts on the face such as cheeks and corners of eyes. When you then apply foundation, you should be able to see a slight glow or irridescence coming from within as the shimmer shines through the minerals. If you are not at all experienced with (and are apprehensive) about the face colors, try adding just a touch of the color to your foundation and apply. If you like your results, you may choose to continue using this method, or you may just see how your skin individually responds to the light and the color, and modify your regimen then based off of your initial results. Good Luck!

This is arguable. While lighter skintones will benefit from using the All Over Face Colors just to enhance features, as a makeup arftist I find that the Warmth works fantastic as a foundation for darker skintones with a golden undertone. Primarily, I would recommend applying these shades anywhere the sun would naturally hit (i.e. forehead, nose, forehead, cheeks, chin).

the clear radience is for just about every skin tone..i too am fair and i find it gives a nice heavenly glow..you should also try the rose radience, it works great as blush on our pale skin!!

The all over face color looks like you've been in the sun and have just a bit of a glow to your skin. It's wonderful.

I would try using Flawless Radiance as a highlighter.

yes you could use it to highlite cheeks ,but you are still able to use all over because it is very suttal.

Gives the skin an all over dewy shimmer to your skin and makes it give it a youthful glow.

Yes, rose radiance is shimmery. I prefer clear radiance as an all-over face color.
