How do I apply ORIGINAL Pure Serum Foundation?

You’ll be surprised just how easy it is to achieve a beautiful and naturally radiant finish with this foundation. Shake the bottle well to mix the serum thoroughly with the foundation before dispensing a small amount onto the back of your hand. Just half, to one full drop will do as a little goes a long way. Then use the warmth of your fingertips to apply to skin. Press into the areas you want to even out or apply a light layer over your entire face and down onto your neck.

For areas that need extra concealment, pat over a light layer of ORIGINAL Liquid Mineral Concealer. And to make the results last all day, set everything in place with either MINERAL VEIL Setting Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 25 or ORIGINAL Mineral Veil Pressed Setting Powder, depending on your preference.

How do I know what shade I am?

ORIGINAL Pure Serum Radiant Natural Liquid Foundation is available in 20 shades across all undertones, so there is a sure to be a shade that beautifully complements your natural colouring. If it’s difficult to place your skin tone on the shade menu on our website, you can select ‘Find My Shade.’ This easy-to-use tool will help you quickly narrow down your options. Try Matched to find your perfect shade. Alternatively, swing by a bareMinerals counter to speak to one of our consultants. They will be more than happy to help you find your perfect match.

Is ORIGINAL Pure Serum Foundation suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. With 93% of the formula made up of skincare ingredients, this foundation is comforting, nourishing, and protecting for all skin types, including sensitive.

Is a serum foundation the same as a tinted moisturizer?

This serum foundation is as light as a tinted moisturizer, but it leans even more towards skincare with serum-worthy ingredients that help calm, nourish, and hydrate skin.

I have dry, mature skin. Will this formula suit me?

Your skin is going to love the skincare benefits of ORIGINAL Pure Serum Foundation. More mature skin is by nature drier, and so needs extra moisture and nourishment to look as radiance and beautifully natural-looking as possible. This foundation has truly outstanding skincare benefits and the complexion coverage is luminous and quickly perfecting.
