How to Apply Mineral powder foundation

March 19, 2008 Paris B 8 Comments

I picked up a brochure for the L’oreal True Match Mineral Foundation at the pharmacy just a few days ago. This new commercial mineral powder foundation has just launched here in Malaysia with a promotional price of RM60+ or so. That’s pretty expensive when I know of some really nice mineral foundations from etailers that retail for much less.

However, the brochure was great because there were nice pictures showing how to apply mineral powder foundation. The product is the L’oreal mineral powder foundation but just ignore that and follow the procedure with any mineral foundation and a kabuki brush.

I do use a method similar to this to apply my Lumiere mineral foundation.

I’m not getting the L’oreal mineral foundation though. I tested it in Singapore at the end of last year when they launched and I did not like it. The brush felt stiff and poked my face and the powder was cakey and thick no matter how much I tapped off. I’m no stranger to using mineral powder foundation and I just did not like the texture of L’oreal’s. I’ve read people’s comments saying that it isn’t a true mineral foundation because of its ingredients but I’m no expert on that so I’ll refrain from comment.

Does this help you?

Stay beautiful,

    This actually worked fine on me, to be honest. The effect was lovely on my skin, and I have to say I’m really liking it. Of course, this is the only mineral foundation I’ve tried so I don’t have any comparison to work with.

    My next purchase would be Bare Escentuals which is available in the city. Yay! 😀

        Try Shins – I think I’ve seen it there but I’m not sure since I haven’t been there in ages.

    This is quite interesting. i had no idea they would make a brochure for this. in my opinion, mineral makeup should just be applied as LOOSE POWDER. Come on, what’s the difference seriously? 🙂
    Bare Escentuals is way over-priced here and very poorly stocked in Malaysia. You can find it i Shinm Mega Mall, too. So you don’t have to make a trip to the city. HTH

    Thanks for the review, I was just about to pick this up the next time I pop into the drugstore for my facial toner.

    Yep, like Tine said, there’s BE in Melbourne now. I might go pick that up too but it’s just that I love my NARS balancing foundation too much. Having said that, I haven’t even finished using the sample because I’m too lazy with foundations 🙁
