Just bought Bare Escentuals...like it but not making skin dewy enough?

Question

Hi, I just received the BE Starter Kit and followed the instructions to a T, I like the way it looks, but find that my skin is very youthful and dewy looking without the foundation, and it doesn't look as dewy after, though more "finished," is this normal? Thanks!

Answer 1

Foundations are made to make skin look finished so I guess it is normal. Try spritzing with Evian mister for the skin after applying foundation or go less heavy with the application. If you aren't going somewhere special or doing a photo shoot leave the foundation off and let your natural beauty glow through.

Answer 2

Start taking Fish Oil pills. Wash your face with a light cleanser everyday and exfoliate once a week. Also keeping your face moisturized, because makeup can dry it out easily. I use CoverGirl bronzer to keep my skin glowing and a little glimmery. I put it on over my foundation and powder.

Answer 3

Also, refrain from using the mineral veil because that will give you more of a matt look not the dewy one you want.

Answer 4

Buy the Bare Escentuals "bare vitamins skin rev-er upper" it costs around $21. Use it before u put on the make-up.

Answer 5

After you've applied the powder take an Evian spray (or a spray bottle filled with water) & lightly mist your face. It will help to get rid of the powder finish.

Answer 6

yeah, its more of a matte finish. for me, i like it but i also like having that dewy finish also. moisturizer is good to use beforehand.

Answer 7

yes it tends to mette the oils to give a what they say is flawless but sometime that can be faky too. try a nice moisturizer before hand.
