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!

Ooh thanks! i'll check out that site. The barefaced beauty site does a starter kit for £34 with a pot of foundation powder, finishing powder and the kabuki brush. Not bad?

that's a great deal! i might check it out. the powder lasts for aaaages too. hurrah!

If you are a convert to mineral make up, you can't go wrong with the Jane Iredale range.
