Exploring the bareMinerals World of Clean Lip Color

By Jen Anderson | February 27, 2020

The power of a good lipstick knows no bounds. It can instantly boost confidence. It can finish out a monochromatic makeup look. It can dress up an outfit. It can even leave your lips feeling hydrated and supple — given the right formula, of course.

We’ll let you in on a little secret: our entire lineup of clean, mineral lip colors can do all of that and more. Each lip-loving formula is made with nourishing mineral ingredients. But that doesn’t stop them from delivering highly-pigmented color in a range of finishes and shades. In fact, we have a clean formula for every lip finish and shade, from matte classic red lipsticks to high-shine sheer nude lip glosses.

To find the best one for you, just take a look at our lipstick collection below. As any true lipstick fan knows, once you get one, you’ll want to have them all — and we can’t help but agree.

Smoothing Satin Lipstick

What it is: MINERALIST Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick

What’s in it: The minimal formula contains only 19 ingredients, including Cold-Pressed Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil, which is packed with minerals, vitamins and omegas to provide nourishing hydration to the lips. Naturally-derived Pomegranate & Jojoba Oils seal in moisture for smoother, softer lips. But less really does deliver more — Olive Oil helps ensure maximum color payoff and coverage.

Finish: Creamy Satin

Shades: 25

Why it’s special: Our revolutionary formula is the first clean, mineral-infused vegan lipstick with minimal ingredients. Made with only 19 ingredients (that’s about half of what’s in a traditional lipstick*), the clean lipstick delivers rich, vibrant color with a burst of hydration for smoother, softer lips. Plus, there are 25 shades, from nude pink to deep brick red, for all occasions and preferences.

Matte Long-Lasting Lipstick

What it is: BAREPRO Longwear Lipstick

What’s in it: Our special MINERAL LOCK Longwear Technology features a blend of mineral pigments and lipids that helps color adhere to lips for up to 8 hours of wear. There’s also Baobab Oil to provide moisture, Sunflower Seed & Jojoba Waxes that help form a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss and Raspberry Seed & Blackcurrent Seed Oils to protect against environmental aggressors.

Finish: Soft Matte

Shades: 20

Why it’s special: Longwear lipstick that doesn’t feel dry? Yes, it’s possible. Unlike some lipsticks that can look patchy on the lips, this weightless vegan formula delivers full-coverage matte color with good-for-skin plant extracts so it never feels dry. As if that’s not enough, it’s waterproof, smudge-proof, transfer-proof, fade-resistant and feather-resistant.

Nude Matte Liquid Lipstick

What it is: GEN NUDE Matte Liquid Lipcolor

What’s in it: The non-tacky formula has Plant-Based Waxes that help moisturize lips for comfortable wear and Priming Ingredients that keep color in place while giving a soft-focus effect.

Finish: Cream-to-Matte

Shades: 10

Why it’s special: Whereas some liquid lipsticks can leave lips feeling parched, this vegan formula seals in moisture. The long-wearing lipstick comes in a range of mauve, pink, peach and beige tones developed to flatter all skin-tones — so everyone can find their perfect shade.

Bold Matte Liquid Lipstick

What it is: STATEMENT Matte Liquid Lipcolor

What’s in it: The non-tacky formula has Plant-Based Waxes that help moisturize lips for comfortable wear and Priming Ingredients that keep color in place while giving a soft-focus effect.

Finish: Cream-to-Matte

Shades: 10

Why it’s special: Just like our GEN NUDE Matte Liquid Lipcolor, this vegan formula is comfortable and lightweight, leaving lips feeling moisturized. The long-wearing lipstick comes in a range of bold, statement colors, from fresh-picked reds to juicy berries.  

Moisturizing Balm Lipstick

What it is: GEN NUDE Radiant Lipstick

What’s in it: The ultra-moisturizing lipstick contains Mango, Cocoa & Shea Butters which impart a smooth, creamy texture. There’s also Copper & Smithsonite, minerals known to promote healthier-looking lips.

Finish: Balmy Shine

Shades: 10

Why it’s special: Unlike some moisturizing lipsticks that sacrifice color for moisture, this creamy formula swipes on medium coverage in a range of mauve, pink, peach and beige tones. The vegan hydrating formula helps to smooth and condition lips without any Mineral Oil or Gluten.
