The word is mineral foundation, it's been popular for years with the natural living sort, you know the environmentalists, some may think of them as tree-huggers but as they normally avoid commercial products due to harmful ingredients they tend to be very well informed about things such as skin care, thus they are great to get beauty tips from. Evidently major brands did just that as they are all now hopping on board by bringing out their own mineral ranges.





Mineral foundation is free from harmful ingredients which also means no preservatives, perfume, talk or oils which makes it so much better for your skin. The powder is lighter so feels more comfortable and looks more natural, not to mention the fact that it does not clog up your pores like many liquid or powder foundations can. A mineral foundation gives far better coverage than other foundations, it's not like liquid foundation that you pile on to try to hide a spot just to find it stands out even more and looks caked on 鈥?eek! For the acne prone mineral foundation is perfect because it gives very good coverage even over swelling or scaring, the fact it is a mineral foundation means it won't make you break out like a liquid, moose or conventional powder foundation would so helps prevent acne.





I'd recommend Bare Minerals SPF15 Foundation from Bare Essentials which costs 拢17.50 however mineral foundation tends to last longer than liquid so it works out about the same as any other type of foundation. Otherwise Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral, this is cheaper and still does the job just as well 鈥?despite being mineral foundations some major brands seem heavier so it's obvious they are adding additional ingredients, where as Maybelline's mineral range is still light and low in additional ingredients. If you live in the US I believe they also have a pressed powder version, which should be making it over here to the UK in the next few months.





Another suggestion if you need additional coverage or find foundations too heavy or unnatural, try tinted moisturizers 鈥?they are hard to get as now everywhere only seems to sell self-tan moisturizers, but there is one brand aimed at teens which is really good and cheap too. The brand is Nivea Visage Young Be Beautiful tinted moisturizer, this actually gives good coverage so you could use this instead of your normal moisturizer and rather than a liquid foundation, then just use a light cover of powder foundation like mineral foundation. It evens out tone without having to bog your skin down with layers of foundation, then powder on top sets your make-up and prevents shine.

If you're looking for tinted moisturizers then i would recommend Laura Mercier or Benefit.





Foundations really vary depending on your skin type and tone and everything so it would be best for you to go into a department store and go to a few different beauty counters and ask about light foundation.





I personally use Clarins Instant Smooth Foundation. I first tried it when i got a sample of it in a magazine and now i'm sworn to it! You can build up the thickness to your own personal preference but it ALWAYS provides perfect coverage and if you apply it really good it can look like you're not even wearing any foundation! The only downside is it is quite expensive at around 拢24/$37.





At the end of your question you claimed that your foundation fades by the time you leave school.This can be solved by using a primer before you put on foundation. Also try lightly dusting some powder over your foundation.





Hope this helps, send me an email if you want to know more or have another question. =)

I use Clinique stuff, on the tube it says ';Clarifying makeup clear skin formula'; and it is Absolutely amazing, while covering unpleasant spots it fixes them. I totally recommend it. It rocks.
maybeline has a really good foundation, the mineral one or the mouuse one
