bareMinerals accepts returns within 30 days of receipt if you're unsatisfied for any reason, and — similar to Sephora and Ulta — doesn't require products to be unopened, though completely empty containers are excluded.
You Don't Need a Paper Receipt
bareMinerals' official policy simply states that if you're unsatisfied for any reason, returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt, without drawing a hard line between opened and unopened products. A digital confirmation email works as your receipt, so a physical paper copy isn't necessary. The one explicit exclusion, stated twice in the official policy, is that completely empty containers won't be accepted for refund.
