There are so many options out there if you're searching for a mineral based makeup line and won't settle for the often too heavy, too shiny appearance of BareMinerals. So many women don't understand what they're missing when it comes to mineral makeup because of a bad Bare experience, but they're really missing out. Mineral foundations are great for sensitive skin, rosacea, acne prone, and especially mature skin since it doesn't settle into fine lines.

I love this foundation as much as I did when I first tried it years ago working for the company. This was right when Idebenone, the super anti-oxidant, was first generating buzz since it's actually in this mineral makeup doing its powerful, age-defying thing every time you wear it. The added benefit of skin-protecting Idebenone and SPF 17 was just the icing on the cake to this distinctly good-but-not-visible coverage, and natural finish.

I've been pairing it with my new adesign Flat Top Foundation Kabuki, which is from a pioneering brush-only line innovative enough to finally force me to recommend that women invest in these competitively priced brushes that really stand out from anything I've used. This wondrous little brush, (that comes with a travel pouch [shown]), buffs the mineral foundation into the skin creating a seamless look that will leave them wondering if you have any makeup on at all. These brushes are a wonder for both the makeup diva wanting a flawless look, and the novice who needs the brush to do the work for her.
