| | | Minerals make up Has anyone tried this? Its powder foundation made from natural minerals which is supposed to be really light on the skin but gives the coverage of a liquid foundation.
I was totally mesmerized by the Sheer Cover infomercial thats on in the mornings! There was a girl who had a big birthmark on her face and it completely covered it without it even looking like she had make up on!!! (yes im such a sucker for these things!)
So the UK version is found at: Barefaced Beauty | Mineral Cosmetics |
And the USA: Sheer Cover®
I think im gonna try it when i get paid. I've never found a foundation i really like. I have quite blotchy red skin so i need good coverage but the Estee Lauder one i use right now is quite heavy. |

| | i am a recent mineral convert! i dont like liquid makeup cause im crap at it, and you really can apply it as light or heavy as you need, without it looking cakey cause there's no talc in it. i have really pale skin and freckles, and i can completely cover them if i apply just a tiny bit more.
the brand i like is www.lilylolo.co.uk - you can get samples pretty cheap to get the colour right etc
ALSO - invest in a great brush cause it makes all the difference! |

| | | I used to use a brand called lily lolo. It was amzing but then because it is a powder it started deting my skin and it got really bad. I might buy the bronzer again though for special occasions because that was amzing. |

| | | i use the bare minerals kind, and i like it although it had two set backs for me- the first is it doesnt cover my red face as much as i'd like so i have to put on some concealer beforehand. and then by the end of the day its worn off (i dont reapply at work and stuff liek that), but it looks really good when its fresh. |

ema - i have sooo many blushes from lily lolo it's sort of embarrassing... |

| | | I was thinking of getting some of this stuff.... my mom has some and she looks 10 years younger when she wears it. It's unreal. No liquid makeup has ever done that!
Not like I need to look younger (yet) |

It covers a multitude of sins and looks as if you're not wearing any make up, it works with the oils your skin naturally produces and leaves a natural matte finish, really, you HAVE to get it!
