Mineralize Foundation SPF 15

Meera I.

I fell in love with the finish of this foundation when the MUA applied it - my dull skin looked fresh and dewy, and NC30 was a perfect colour match. I was apprehensive, because the Mineralize Skinfinish Powder hadn't agreed with my skin, but without the bismuth oxychloride it was fine. I wear this during the winter when my skin needs extra hydration - if I did carry it through to the summer, I'd have to add a powder over the top because 'dewy' might turn to 'shiny' pretty quickly!

This comes with a sponge, which I don't like applying it with - I don't get as even coverage as I do with a brush. I always apply this with a stipple brush which gives a natural coverage that perfectly complements the finish of the foundation.

Final word about the coverage - maybe because I don't apply it heavily, this doesn't last all day so it's worth using a primer. Otherwise, this is my go-to winter foundation for keeping my skin looking bright and hydrated even when it wants to be dull and dry.
