Leslie Blodgett, CEO of Bare Escentuals, once said “I don’t go a day without wearing a little Warmth.†In face, Leslie loves Warmth so much that she’s included it in her set, “Leslie’s Favorites.â€
I wasn’t too thrilled about Warmth at first. It is highly pigmented and looks dark and orange in the pot. But since I didn’t want the color to go to waste, I read up on how some people use Bare Escentuals Warmth. I realized that with the right technique, BE Warmth is truly an All Over Face Color. Here are a couple of tips I’ve picked up about using BE Warmth:
When you open the pot, use the product that’s on the lid. That’s all you need! No need to tap more product on the lid or swirling bowl.
Don’t swirl too much product in your brush. The pigments may not be noticeable in your brush, but it will show on your face once you start sweeping or buffing.
I use BE Warmth as a bronzer if I want to achieve a tanned effect, without the added shimmer. I also use BE Warmth as a contour powder. Just apply a little on the lower half of your cheeks, and your cheekbones will be much more noticeable. The best part about using BE Warmth as a contour powder is that you’ll apply less blush, and you’ll have this glow that cannot be achieved by blush alone. Warmth is a great complexion booster, because it gives “warmth†to your face. BE Warmth is not just an All Over Face Color; it can be used as lip color and even as eye contour or crease color. Since I got BE Warmth, it’s become a must-have in my makeup kit. A little bit of Warmth does go a long way!











How do you suggest using Warmth for dark skinned women?
Hi liz! Try using it as a warm colored blush or even lipcolor
Warmth can also be used for corrective makeup (applying at the sides of your nosebridge so the nose doesn’t look as flat, or even placing a little bit under the chin & jawline to create a shadow so double chins are not as obvious).
I had the same experience with BE Warmth. You’re so right about using just a tiny bit. I actually use it a blush, and sometimes put some sparlies on top of it. By the way, I get your daily Newsletter and just love it! Love your Blog, too. You do a fabulous job!
Oops. That’s “sparklies”. Gotta get glasses.
Hi Suzann
I admit, The Mineral Makeup Girl does have a great blog. I contribute to this blog once in a while. Will try your technique on adding sparklies, since BE Warmth is relatively matte.
You have a great site!
I haven’t really tried other bronzer aside from BE WARMTH. I use it to contour my face. It does make my face leaner. A little goes a long way.
