Which mineral makeup?

bellápierre

A great range of colours and made from 100% mica powder – no other ingredients or additives.  Most mineral make-up companies only use 2-5% of Mica in their products, together with chemicals and fillers such as oil, wax, parabens and talc.  bellápierre’s products contain other minerals which protect and nurture the skin, such as Titanium Dioxide, a naturally occurring sunscreen. When added to makeup, it provides natural resistance to harmful UV rays. The mineral itself reflects the sunlight so you get a natural SPF of 15 to 20.

Their mineral foundation is in fact a sunscreen (SPF15), concealer, finishing powder and foundation all in one product and doesn’t have to be layered or built up.  The super amazing range of pigment colours (55 and counting) can be used as; eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipgloss, mascara, nail polish & more – using clear versions of gloss, varnish and mascara to blend them with.  The shadows can also be used on the eye straight from the pot for a natural look or vamped up using their primer.

I love this foundation – it’s a great coverage and I rarely have to touch it up – it stays put throughout the whole working day.  I’ve ditched my liquid foundation now…

Dainty Doll – loose powder in a jar

A great handbag product from light as porcelain Nicola Roberts’ cosmetics range.  The colours go through a range from very light to dark and come in a small pot attached to a brush.  Amazing. The powder contains vitamin E, essential SPF 18 and antioxidants as well as the minerals.
