Bare your skin, and the rest will follow. bareMinerals is asking women to #GOBARE through a digital campaign designed to reveal anything and everything, including women’s secret indulgences, for a chance to have it brought to life in a special and unique way for select fans. A camera crew will be stopping in cities across the country to surprise select fans from Twitter and document their secret indulgence being brought to life. The special video series will be released on the bareMinerals YouTube channel. Watch the kick-off pilot here.

To indulge all bare skin beauties that stop by the tour, a Twitter-activated bareMinerals vending machine will also be on-site to unlock surprise gifts after tweeting their secret indulgences to @bareMinerals using #GOBARE.

Kicking off the tour April 25-April 28 in Washington D.C. as the official beauty sponsor of the Nike Women Half Marathon DC, a race to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the pop-up boutique will showcase the brand’s newly evolved store design infused with glamour, sophistication and wit which will roll out to select doors nationwide this spring.

Mimicking their new retail footprint, the pop-up is designed to be the ultimate playground to experience bareMinerals award-winning foundations plus much more, and the friendly and inviting, easy-to-navigate atmosphere includes self-service areas that encourage discovery and experimentation, a beauty bar for personalized make-unders, and plush lounge areas (complete with photo opportunities) for women to relax and unwind.
