bareMinerals Compact Blush

A Mineral Blush That's Always Ready

by Shellie Terry Benson, Editor

If you're already a fan of bareMinerals makeup with its natural formulas that are free of parabens and harsh chemicals, then you're sure to be a fan of their newest beauty products.

With bareMinerals Ready Blush ($22) and bareMinerals Ready Bronzer ($24), the company delivers its formulas in compact form for the first time (instead of the loose powder). The new solid mineral technology is created through a cold-pressed process that doesn't leach out the minerals in the manner that the processing of powdered makeup typically does, bareMinerals says.

Along with great color, you still get the benefit of antioxidant sea mineral anti-aging benefits that mineral makeup is known for. The blush is infused with cold-pressed camellia oil while the bronzer includes carrot oil that help firm the skin. All that and a handy compact, too!

Ready Blush comes in 10 shades. "The One" is an ideal blend of dark peach with a bit of pink that blends well with many skin tones. Ready Bronzer is available in three shades to help you contour your cheeks with just the right color.

BareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow is already on shelves if you want to give this new makeup technology a try.
