BareMinerals Although it's not touted as a specialized skin care line, BareMinerals offers one of the widest ranges of skin tones on the darker side of the spectrum compared to others on the market. BareMinerals READY Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20, $29, comes in 20 shades, a whopping half of which fall on the medium to dark range. Better yet, each swatch comes with a descriptive summary ranging from "rosy undertones" to "subtle yellow-olive undertones" to really help you nail your shade.
