mineral must-haves

by Maria Cataldo on Jun 29, 2009
Mineral foundation should be in everyone's makeup kit. Seriously. It's super easy to use, great on sensitive skin and one little pot will last you absolutely ages. If you've ever rushed your foundation in the morning and ended up with ghastly unblended lines, you're sure to fall in love.

Lasting Finish Minerals Loose Powder Foundation
in 200 Soft Beige
RRP $19.95

A beautiful, even-coverage foundation (good value for money) that leaves a nice healthy sheen. The teensy brush (inlcuded in the pack) is quite coarse and should only be used for touch-ups.

Nutritious Vita-Mineral Loose Powder Makeup
in Intensity 2.0
RRP $66

Great for those after a natural look, this finely-milled powder gives a sheer, matte finish. Brush and powder puff (included) fit snugly into the pot and are good for minor touch-ups on the go.

Mineral Loose Foundation
in Beach Sand
RRP $18.14

Matte without being drying, this medium coverage foundation has a silky finish which is great for older skin. Brush is nicely-sized and highly convenient, but is not as super-soft as others.

Matte with a subtle shimmer, this light coverage product comes in a great range of colours, each featuring an in-built powder puff. Buy the divine Buffer Brush too (worth the investment!), and you'll be in silky heaven.

The colour wasn't as deep and dark as expected here, but the product does have a beautiful, light sheen. Great for heavy coverage wihtout haveing to build on it too much.

A beautiful silky sheen is immediately apparent here, and the sheer coverage allows a natural glow to shine through. The heavily pigmented formula means product is true to colour.

Hi Jess,

Thanks for the tip. The wording is meant to convey complementary (as in works well with), not complimentary (as in free), but I can see how this can be confusing with a quick once-over! I'll rework it now.

With the Mac mineral foundation, can I ask why I need to buy the complementary buffer brush? Think this needs to be reworded?
