This is one of the best easily-acquired makeup ranges i have run into for a long time. SheerCover and BareMinerals are more expensive and tend to have a finer consistency. This means that while they claim to be better for your skin, they are harder to remove and you can still look sweaty and shiny in them later on. My job involves a fair bit of exercise and manual labour, so Maybelline keeps me looking fresh and nicely dry for a decent period. Sitting around $18-25 in chain supermarkets and chemists, it is good value if the look you are going for is 'natural'. My complexion is pale and freckly. Neither bothers me as much as looking sweaty/shiny, having ...  Read the complete review

Overview This is Maybelline's first real mineral make up, and comes in the form of a powder rather than a liquid, like Bare Minerals, the original mineral make up. It comes with a kabuki brush, which is the type of brush used for application of powder foundation, and is available in supermarkets and pharmacies. It retails at around £10, I bought mine from Boots (advantages points, yay!) for £10.99. Advantages This is a really, really good foundation, for a number of reasons. Firstly, I have horrible red skin and up until this foundation I couldn't find anything to help it. But now, there is a noticeable improvement and I don't look quite so much like ...  Read the complete review

Recently I went through all of my make up and unfortunatley much of it was dried out and just not good any more. I figured I could afford to replace much of it and went off on a mission. The mission I chose would prove to be much more than I had ever dreamed possible. I came across what I thought would be a great product. The Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder foundation. It boasts a spf of 18 and includes micro-minerals. Now I have no idea what micro-minerals are but I figure it had to be good for my skin. So as I am standing in the make up area picking out my new make ups I grabbed this one to compare with a bunch of ...  Read the complete review

My skin is extremely unpredictable and seems to have a mind of it's own. Some days it won't look too bad and I can actually leave the house without foundation and other days I feel like going out with a paper bag on my head! My skin dilemmas include blemishes, excess oil and dry patches which makes finding a foundation that suits my skin a mammoth task. I first discovered the concept of mineral make-up when reading a magazine and after learning that it is specially formulated to be kind to your skin and let it breathe, I thought I'd give it a go. After deciding this, the hardest decision was choosing which foundation to buy but this was made slightly easier by ...  Read the complete review

This is a fantastic product. I have used a range of liquid foundations and have found that they frequently wear off in a matter of hours. As i sometimes suffer from outbreaks of spots and have some scars i want a foundation that is going to stay on all day and provide really good coverage. This product does this brilliantly. Originally, i was a bit wary of using a mineral foundation as i felt it may duplicate the job of pressed (or loose) power, however it actually does the job of both a power and a foundation. Maybelline provide a small brush that you can apply the product with. I tend to shake a small amount into the lid of the foundation container and ...  Read the complete review
