Bare Minerals Foundation

In the last ten years Bare Escentuals has gone from a small San Francisco company to a multi-million dollar publicly traded makeup giant, all because of this foundation. Millions of women are loyal users and millions more have started their mineral makeup journey with Bare Minerals.

Bare Minerals foundation is the best selling and most popular mineral makeup.

The original five Bare Escentuals Foundation colors were designated by number only. When it started being sold on QVC, they started naming the colors. Now the shades go by only the name and the numbers are no longer used.

There are now 20 different shades.

Medium Beige is the most popular color - it is a blend of Medium and Light. Before it was introduced Medium was the best selling color. Medium Beige is slightly lighter than Medium.

The colors are very "forgiving" and most people can wear several colors. Some even mix different colors for a custom color, but the experts at Bare Minerals say that probably isn't necessary.
