Summer is just around the corner (it’s about time)! We survived the brutal polar vortex, so I know that we're all more than ready to pull out the sandals and sundresses, apply that perfectly even (faux) tan, and freshen up our makeup routines!


We always have you covered, no matter what season, but this spring and summer are looking pretty (literally) with all of our new innovations, deluxe sizes, and your favorites. So let us help you say hello to summer with flawless skin, sun-swept eyes, luscious lips, and a killer tan.


Flawless Skin
Summer skin should look effortless and simple. It’s about all the coverage you want, but with that no-makeup look and feel. The secret? It’s always been bareMinerals® Original Foundation. As many of you may know, I fell in love with one little jar of our original foundation over 11 years ago, and haven’t looked back since. Thank goodness (for all of us) that the Deluxe Original Foundation is back! We wait for this super-size superstar to come back every year, and for good reason. This foundation covers everything, yet feels like nothing on the skin. It’s so weightless, you won’t even know it’s there. And there's no makeup meltdown, so you’re covered on hot summer days. Plus, broad-spectrum SPF 15 gives you the protection you need.

Summertime complexion tip: Don't go anywhere without Mineral Veil. It's your best friend when it comes to controlling shine, freshening up, minimizing the look of pores, and achieving an effortless, airbrushed appearance. My favorite for summer is Bronzing Veil SPF 25—it’s a triple threat!

The Complexion Boost
You can boost in a lot of ways, but we decided to put our best bareMinerals READY® Complexion Boosters into one convenient collection. It's great for travel or your everyday beauty stash. Need a bronze boost? Our bareMinerals READY Bronzer in The Skinny Dip gives a subtle bronze glow to any complexion. I like to buff this one all over (that way I don’t have to change my foundation shade as I get a little more color over the summer). Need a boost of hydration? bareMinerals READY Hydrating Touch Up Veil minimizes shine, gives an airbrushed look, and provides a touch of hydration. Need a pick me up? bareMinerals READY Luminizer in The First Glance enhances the complexion with a warm golden sheen that looks like it’s coming from within.

Sun-Swept Eyes
Soft tones of bronze, nude, sand, and peach swept across the eyes will continue your effortless summer look. It’s all about your eyes looking done, but not over-done. Don't look any further for your new go-to, “I can’t live without” eye shadow palette…The Nude Beach. I’m completely, 100% obsessed. We've taken some of our best-selling, customer-favorite eye colors and put them into one stunning bareMinerals READY 8.0 palette. This will become a staple in your beauty bag for seasons to come. Who wouldn’t want to sweep colors with names like Tan Lines, Nude Beach, Bare Skin, and Skinny Dip across their eyelids?

The Killer Tan
As I say on air, we have a great sunless tanner, and it’s been here all along! Faux Tan develops into a gorgeous, olive-tan, natural-looking tone, it doesn’t smell like feet, it’s an emollient brown gel (so you can see where you’re putting it), and the big daddy size comes with the body buffing brush—which makes sunless tanning fast, easy, and mess-free. You’ll love the instant glow, and then the rich golden tan that'll develop over a few hours. It’s a vacation in one big bottle!

Luscious Lips
The perfect complement to flawless summer skin is a bright, fun, perky lip. Playing up your pout is more unexpected (and a lot easier) than your eyes!


Some things are just better together than apart—like our double-ended Lip Quickies, So Happy Together. I love the punch of color you get from these creamy, semi-matte lip colors. The fun part is that each double-ended delight has a lighter and a deeper shade within the same color. You can mix, match, and blend to your heart’s content.

And, for my gloss girls, you must try our latest Marvelous Moxie Trio. These colors scream spring and summer and will brighten your mood and your lips. I pulled Life of the Party out of my bag at a QVC meeting recently, and everyone started freaking out about the gorgeous color.
