Mineral make-up aims to use no
preservatives, fillers or binders. It attempts to give the coverage
desired, without the chemicals that the skin doesnt need. Nowadays, most
companies have a mineral makeup product line. Be careful as to not
believe them blindly. Try the products on yourself, and look out for any
skin irritation.

Products worth investing in from bareMinerals:
Warmth All-Over Face Color
This acts
as a bronzer. Apply onto areas of your face where the sun would
naturally touch, such as the cheekbones, eyelids, forehead, chin and
bridge of the nose.
Mineral Veil or Tinted Mineral Veil
This
provides the finishing touch to your makeup, giving an airbrush
complexion. Buff over the foundation to absorb oil, minimize the
appearance of fine lines and pores.
SPF 15 Foundation
This is
the main foundation. There are various types of foundation available,
such as Matte Finish and Original. Apply with different types of brush
of variation in coverage.
Overall, I myself was recommended this product, and once I tried it, I never went back to liquid foundation. Love it!
Pros:
1. Mineral make-up. All natural.
2. Since it's powder form, it doesn't look like you have applied heavy make-up. Does not look cakey.
3. It gives you a healthy glow
4. Long lasting
5. Improves skin condition
6. Quick application!
7. You can choose your coverage. If you want light coverage, just dab a little. If you want heavier coverage, use more of it
8. Provides sun protection. The foundation is SPF 15
9. Now available in Hong Kong! Harvey Nichols in Pacific Place, and Faces in Ocean Terminal. Visit their booth for a quick demo
Cons:
1. It's meant for daily use, and if you're looking for high coverage, this is not for you. This product works well for light-medium coverage
If you have dark circles, I'd recommend using your own cream concealor instead of the bareMinerals concealor, as a cream concealor would give more coverage. Apply bareMinerals foundation over the concealor for better coverage.

When you
first start using this product, it might not look like its making much
difference. But see yourself in a different light without applying too
much at first, and you'll see the difference.
