Mineral powder

requires a special

technique. Sprinkle

some into its own

cap—about the

amount of cinnamon

you’d put on a latte,

says Hughes—and

follow these tips.

SWIRL a powder

brush into the cap until

there is no powder left.

(For major coverage,

use a brush with a

convex center. The one

at left is made for

bareMinerals Original

Foundation.)

TAP the brush on the

side of the cap or

sink—what remains is

the ideal amount.

BUFF into skin using

circular motions, work-

ing from the perimeter

of your face inward for

the most natural finish.

1.

GET ON A

SCHEDULE

Going to bed

and getting up at

the same time helps

you fall and stay

asleep throughout

the night, says

sleep specialist

Michael Breus, PhD.

Aim for at least

seven hours.

2.

HIT THE GYM

Working out (ideally

for at least 30 minutes,

five days a week)

can improve your

sleep quality.

3.

TRY

AROMATHERAPY

Spritz lavender

essential oil onto your

pillow, or use it in a

diffuser. Studies show it

can help you sleep

better, possibly due to

its ability to reduce

anxiety and lower your

heart rate.

4.

NIX BLUE

LIGHT

Emitted by phones,

tablets, and laptops,

it disrupts the natural

sleep cycle. Shut

down early, or enable

Night Shift mode to

switch your gadget’s

color spectrum to a

warmer, yellow shade.

BEAUTY

For spontaneous sleepovers or

nights when you skip the sink,

mineral makeup (specifically,

bareMinerals Original Foundation

or Matte Foundation, $28.50

each, bareminerals.com and

bareMinerals boutiques) is your

clutch product. What makes it so

safe to snooze in? “It’s less about

what’s in it than about what’s not,”

says Monica Ademino, executive

director of global product

development for bareMinerals.

“It’s formulated without

common irritants like parabens,

fragrances, and silicones, and

there’s no pore-clogging oil.”

With only six or fewer total

ingredients, there’s little chance

your face will freak out.

P r ep Now,

PREP Smooth,

hydrated skin makes

mineral foundation

look f lawless. To avoid

a tacky surface that

attracts too much

powder, apply a fast-

absorbing, lightweight

serum, says makeup

artist Katie Jane

Hughes, who recom-

mends this mineral-

rich version.

PURIFY Slept in your

makeup? Clean the

slate the morning after

by mixing exfoliating

grains into a dollop of

your favorite cleanser.

Add more or less

depending on your

detoxifying needs.
