My makeup routine isn't by any means complicated, but usually involves concealer, foundation and powder as my base. This requires three different products and makes the process longer than I'd like to spend on making my face day fresh.
Just over a week ago while I was doing some downtown shopping on Queen Street in Toronto, I was enticed into a makeup store called Divine Beauty Bar, with an offer to touch up my existing makeup with a foundation by Micabella Cosmetics. Not only did she remove the foundation I had already taken the time to do myself, but she reapplied it with one single product. Needless to say, I was impressed with the final look and decided to take one home for myself.
The foundation is a 100% all-natural mineral foundation powder and I've been using it now for just over a week. It wears very lightly so it's perfect for day makeup, and provides amazing coverage without needing to use multiple products. Where I usually use concealer to cover up my under-eye darkness, and a liquid foundation, followed by a powder to set, this powder does all three steps in one. I find that with my skin, being much less than perfect, liquid foundation seems to provide a bit of a smoother finish. Although I'm using a primer (currently using Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro Primer), I find that my pores are still a bit more visible than I'd like. I can't really complain though for such a light, easy foundation that let's my face breathe so nicely. And although it retails for a price higher than I'd normally pay for a foundation (CAN$99), the clerk said I should get approximately 10 months out of this one container so I figured it was WELL worth the investment. I may look into trying some of their eye shadows and bronzers if I continue to like this product as much as I do so far. If you give it a try, let me know what you think!
