bareMinerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipsticks are the newest release from the brand. It is a clean, mineral based vegan formula that has minimal ingredients. The formula is hydrating and delivers great color payoff. There are 25 shades in the line and I swatches all of them for you guys.
Ingredients:
-Cold-Pressed Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil: Packed with minerals, vitamins, and omegas to help provide nurturing hydration.
-Olive Oil Extract: Intensifies color for maximum impact in one swipe.
-Pomegranate and Jojoba: Help seal in moisture for smoother, softer lips.
I really like the formula of the bareMinerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipsticks. It is hydrating but packs a good amount of color and it also smooths out any lines on the lips. All 25 shades in the collection swatched beautifully on the lips. With the darker shades, since it’s a creamy formula, I recommend using a lip liner before application. They don’t run, but it is easier to achieve more precise application.
The shade selection in the bareMinerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipsticks is exceptional. There are plenty of neutral and wearable shades, but also pops of color and darker, vampy shades. I can rarely say for a lipstick collection, that I would actually wear every shade. Even the pinks (I stay away from cool toned pinks) look great on my complexion.
