Every now and again, in between Leslie's busy schedule of bus tours, QVC appearances, and developing exciting new products, we are able to get a moment of her time to answer questions. Recently, we asked her to respond to some of your most common inquiries about bareMinerals® beauty.

Is it possible to put this wonder foundation into a compact powder or does that add additional ingredients not healthy for the face? - KRISTINA W.

Great question, Kristina. Because our bareMinerals are a 100% pure, all-natural formula, we don't add any of the fillers, binders and chemicals needed to create a pressed powder, and many of those can cause irritation to your skin. We are proud to give you makeup in its purest form, which is why bareMinerals is so healthy for your skin. And if you're looking for an easy way to take your bareMinerals with you, our Flawless Face Case is just the ticket.

How can I achieve the "Red Carpet" glow that I see on the cheeks of celebrities? Their skin tone always looks so bright and healthy. - CHRISTINA C.

The red carpet glow everyone wants isn't about a secret technique—it's about finding colors that best complement your skin and bring out your true radiance. Our bareMinerals All-Over Face Colors are the perfect products to help you achieve that "lit-from-within" glow. Play with combinations of our Soft Focus and Radiance All-Over Face Colors. These beautifully sheer shades are easy and very wearable, so you can lightly layer them to create the look you desire. Try using the Soft Focus Face Brush, Tapered Blush Brush and our classic Flawless Application Face Brush.

I would really love to learn how to create the Cat Eye look. Can you offer any tips? - CHRISTINA C.

 We have a great kit for you. The Cat Eye look is all about the liner, and the Retro Lounge Eye is great for trying dramatic liner techniques. Just like with all our collections, this easy eye kit gives helpful instructions, so getting that purr-fect eye look is easy. Try this technique: For the Cat Eye look, add dramatic flair as you move towards the outside of the eye with the liner sometimes even going out beyond the corner to create the tip of a tail.

How often should I clean my brushes and how should I clean them?
- AMY B.

Extend the life and beauty of makeup brushes by cleaning them regularly with Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo. The next question people ask is, "Well, how often is regularly?" The answer depends on you. If you are a Buffing Maven and use your brushes every day, then you need to clean them more often than date-night-only gals. The time range can be weekly to every other month. It's worth the effort, ladies. Your bareMinerals will go on even more flawlessly with a nice, clean brush and your brushes will last even longer.

When I use RareMinerals, do I need to moisturize first? I love this product. I swear my skin is firmer and fine lines are disappearing! - BARBI B.

 I'm so happy you have discovered our revolutionary RareMinerals Skin Revival Treatment. Many people have had amazing results by applying directly to clean skin. But we all have different types of skin and some prefer more moisture than others. So it's fine if you prefer to use a moisturizer after washing your face at night. (Have you tried NEW RareMinerals Renew and Reveal Cleanser? You'll love it.) Just remember that any moisturizers or toners need to be completely absorbed. And RareMinerals should be the last thing you slip into at night. Over time, some have felt they no longer need their moisturizer after using RareMinerals because of how well it improves the overall condition of their skin.

How do I conceal problem areas, like dark circles and old blemish marks, better? - ALICE L.

We have two easy-to-work-with, multi-tasking minerals for you to try. To disguise broken capillaries, scars and blemishes, apply your shade of bareMinerals Bisque Multi-Tasking Face with the Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush directly to the problem areas using a patting technique. It's your choice whether to conceal before or after bareMinerals foundation application. And our Well-Rested for Eyes is an eye-brightening shadow base that sweeps gently around the eye area to diminish the look of morning drowsiness or too-little sleep.
