Shopping for foundation is perhaps the trickiest of makeup shopping. You have to balance color, consistency, coverage, and pay attention to the ingredients since you're massaging this stuff into your face everyday. As a result, I tend to bounce around from different brands. I'm pretty much the Goldilocks of foundation. In the 12-to-15 years I've spent trying to even out my ruddy, acne-prone complexion, I haven't found a formula that's juuussst right. BUT after spending a week with Advanced Mineral Makeup, I think I may have found a foundation and concealer worth settling down with. And I want to share it with you! Thanks to the folks at Advanced Mineral Makeup, we're giving away this miracle product to one of our fans!
Some things that make Advanced Mineral Makeup worth a try:
- It's created by makeup artist Annie Mayo who has worked on shows like Grey's Anatomy and NCIS, so her product translates extremely well on camera. This is huge for me. I strongly believe thinking your makeup looks flawless only to get a rude awakening when you see yourself in a photo is one of the top 50 worst feelings in the world. Right behind finding out your favorite food is probably killing you.
- The consistency goes on like tinted moisturizer but has the coverage of foundation. Best of both worlds!
- It lasts all day. Seriously, I'm a face-toucher and I still haven't had to apply more than once in a day.
- It moisturizers yet has a matte finish, so no flakiness and no shiny T-zone. My skin generally feels weighted down by concealer and foundation, but this makes my skin feel it's being draped in a weightless, protective, creamy blanket.
- It's all natural and 100% vegan. You wouldn't believe how rare it is to find makeup that fits within restrictive diets, but this is one of them.
- It has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, so it actually improves your skin while covering imperfections. Brilliant—if not great for sales.
