Help ! What do the sizes / metric measures mean?

Please remeber this is a guide,some may last longer or less depending on usuage.This is for manufactured sealed products.

Bare Escentuals products are 100 % pure minerals therefore a little goes a long way.Remeber you can always add more so don't go mad, less really is more with minerals.

Jar sizes are catagorised for your convenience by us : (S)small (M)medium (L)large (XL)extra large.These are not written on the jars!

.28g

Eyeliners and brow colours....last forever (not literally! but go on and on as you use such a tiny amount)

.57g(S)

General guide, tip jar upside down then back and tap base on a flat surface.Just use minerals that are left on the inside of the lid.

Eyecolours....will last 6+ months using everyday

Radiances/Face illuminators/Blush/Concealers....using everyday 4+ months

Bronzer....8-12+ months

.85g(L)

Face colours/Blush/Concealer (bisque)....6-12 months

2g(M)

Foundation/Veils....4-6+ months

Bronzer....8-12+ months

2.5g(L)

Concealer (bisque) same volume as .85g just a different weight due to the ingredient mass (weight)....6-12 months

2.8g(XL)

Face colours....these are huge and could last 12+ months (recommend you only go for products you are madly in love with in this size)

9g(L)

Foundation (standard large foundation size)....will last 6+ months (I use mine every day,light coverage and it lasts me more than 12 months)

10g(L)

Tinted mineral veil (again same size as standard veil but weighs different amount due to ingredient mass (weight)....8-12+ months

13.5g(L)

Mineral Veil....8-12+ months

30g(super duper enormous)

Mineral / Tinted Veil / Gossomers and Body shimmer....this size is for serious usage only ie. makeup artists.
