Everyday Minerals

I’m not a foundation wearing girl for several reasons; I think it’s best to have great skin and not cover it up, foundation almost always looks fake, is harsh on your skin, or comes off if you do any kind of activity. Just not worth it in my opinion. However there are times when my skin needs a little somethin’ somethin’ so step in Everyday Minerals Mineral Foundation.

Now, let me say I have tried a lot of mineral foundations. Bare Escentuals always left an oily looking residue and caused my skin to react. Jane Iredel same thing. Brands from Whole Foods and other spa’s just weren’t working despite the high cost. I discovered it was all due to one ingredient: Bismuth Oxide. I read on a message board that people were loving Everyday Minerals because it did not contain this ingredient, covered really well whilst allowing the skin to breathe, looked very natural, contained a natural SPF 15 and best of all? Completely affordable!

Since Everyday Minerals offered a free (yes free!) trial kit, I decided to give it a go. Round 1 I chose the foundation in the “matte” finish and the two shades of Fair I tried turned very orange on me within an hour although the concealor did not and worked really well. So I decided to go to Round 2 and chose the Fair in the “Intensive Coverage” finish and voila! Heaven! No colour change, no skin reacting, no break outs, no fake look. Just my skin only better.

I use a concealer brush and dab it on areas that need a little concealing now and then. I’ve used it as an all over face foundation with their kabuki brush with great results, too. Their Light Pink Cheek Colour really brightens up my complexion in a very subtle way and helped me to look like I was healthy when I had a really bad flu! What I love also is that it’s a small, female-run company. Love to support that!

So if you’re up late at night watching infomercials on Mineral Makeup, instead of dialling that number try Everyday Minerals. You skin and pocketbook will thank you!
