Does the $25 foundation come with a free brush or do you have to buy one? If it doesnt how much does it cost, and do you think it would be better just to but the starter kit for $60?

No it does not come with a brush. I purchased the bare minerals starter kit a few months ago and thought it was a waste of money. it made my face feel like clay and it really didnt cover well. my face looked the same as before i put on the makeup. i was completely disappointed with it because it is a little pricy. Id say before you splurge on it go to Sephora and have them put it on you first to see if you like it

no the original, plain foundation does not come with a brush and the cheapest face brush is probably $15 dollars so i definitly reccomend the getting started kit because you get your monies worth

no it comes with the starter kit thats 40 dollars and 60 dollars. not the single 25 dollar one. sorry..

Nope, you should just get the starter kit.

Does the Bare Minerals foundation come with a brush?

I washed my bare minerals brushes with anti bacterial dish soap and mixed it with olive oil to condition them and wipe of the excess after that. Then I rinsed throughly with warm, not hot water.

That won't ruin it right?

Nope. That's an awesome way to clean your brushes. Just make sure you dry them with the bristles facing down so the moisture doesn't ruin the glue.

As long as your brushes feel fine after that, its fine. Just make sure you rinsed it well, because you definitely don't want that stuff all over your face.

ughh that sounds kinda harsh.. i jus use a light face wash with no beads or baby shampoo

jus make sure you are using brush wraps so they dont loose shape or compactness like dont like the brissles expand..

Is this going to ruin my bare minerals brushes?

The best mineral makeup would seem useless if it is not applied with the perfect brush. Mineral makeup brushes are very important because they allow full coverage and flawless application each time. Mineral makeup requires a special set of brush because its looseness is quite different from a regular makeup. So if you’re switching to the mineral variant, be sure to get the brush that works with it well.

Women usually buy a set of mineral makeup brushes and just discover the perfect use for each as they go along. With the whole set available to you, you could never go wrong during application. However, the most popular ones today are the Kabuki Brushes. These are the ones especially made for mineral makeup.

The big brush in the set are usually called the face brushes. They are used to dust the makeup on the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and elsewhere. its function is complemented by the blush brushes, which in turn, contours and highlights the cheek area. They are the flat, usually wide brimmed brushes.

The mineral makeup brushes that come in many forms are the eyeliner and eye shadow brushes. There are both thin and thick versions of an eyeliner brush so you can achieve the look that you want. The heavy brushes provides for the smoky eye look. As for the eye shadow brushes, they are available in several styles, shapes, and sizes so you can contour, cover, and color the eye area efficiently. They need to come in different types because every facial structure is different. Precision eye shadow brushes are needed to achieve a faultless look.

Mineral makeup brushes are a strong necessity for the simple fact that you can’t apply the makeup with your bare hands. If you want to look like you’ve just stepped out of an expensive salon, you must invest on the right brushes so you can create an almost perfect made-up look every time.
