I’ve always been on the lookout for that perfect pressed mineral makeup out there. Mineral makeup is fairly new, as compared to traditional makeup, and trying to make pressed mineral makeup can be quite a challenge, doing away without preservatives, and binders that sometimes compromise quality.

When I came across the brand Colorescience, I was very curious about how it fared since it was the brainchild of Diane Ranger, mother of mineral makeup, and the founder of Bare Escentuals. Colorescience is an elite mineral makeup line that seeks to reconcile skin care and color ( makeup ) as it facilitates a good healing environment in the skin that highly complements dermatological procedures such as facial peels, laser procedures, and so much more.

Mineral Makeup Review : Colorescience Pressed Mineral Pigment

It’s a bit rare that I review mineral makeup that is sold in department stores, moreso luxury brands. There’s been too much mineral makeup brands that I’m actually getting confused with the plethora of brands, and varieties, but when I see something exceptional, I definitely know it is out of the ordinary!

I’m starting this entry saying that Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder must be my dream mineral makeup. I’ll tell you why!

First, it’s still in powder mineral form, the purest form of minerals. I’m not exactly fond of pressed mineral makeup, or liquid mineral makeup, I don’t know why, but my affinity lies in mineral foundations in powder form. Maybe it’s just that it’s in the purest form, in my opinion.

Mineral Makeup Loot : Earthen Glow Minerals

First, let me just say that I love, love, love mineral makeup. I have a stack of makeup here that aren’t mineral that I use for shoots or weddings because mineral makeup in loose form’s messy, but then, loose mineral makeup is still my favorite kind. Some girls want to have a dose of some pressed mineral makeup because of its travel-friendliness, and here’s a review of the Larenim Mineral Airbrush Pressed Foundation.

Mineral Makeup Sale : Lauress Minerals

Ive mentioned earlier that Pure Anada is simply heaven-sent because this mineral foundation not only is very much full in coverage, it also just seems to make pores look nonexistent! It’s so flawless that it was a real heartbreak for me when I couldn’t get my exact match with it.

A few days ago, I paid a visit to my friend and co-mineral makeup addict Nikki to try a pot of foundation that seemed too light for her, whose shade was Medium Golden. Upon hearing that name, it seemed like the perfect shade for me since well, my shade was Light to Medium, but I’ve taken a liking for darker shades since I wanted to retain my nonexistent tan, and my shoulders are darker than my face anyway ( that makes me get away with darker or lighter shades ). So, I went ahead and bought her pot of Medium Golden to try out.

I’ve been intrigued about Prescriptives, a high end luxury brand coming up with its own version of mineral makeup. I wondered if it would be as good as the ones that I am using right now, which are sold online, and handmade by very talented mineral makeup formulators, which I so so so love. So, when I got my Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Makeup, I immediately tried it on me as I would want to get an initial feel of this mineral makeup!
