Welcome to the Mineral Makeup era! Every cosmetic store you go to, you will see a lot of mineral makeup products -from face powder to eye shadow to blush.
However, according to some articles and rumors, one of the ingredients that consists in makeup products (yes, even the mineral ones) is Parabens, which is generally used to preserve cosmetic products from fungi and bacteria. There are are pros and cons related to this ingredient, but let’s not get into details on the medical side, since SEPHORA Mineral Loose Powder Foundation is already Paraben-free.
For those of you who have a super sensitive skin like mine, this product could be the best for you. It contains NO Parabens, NO Fragrance, NO Allergens and NO Talc. And for those of you who are concern about acne or breakouts, this product is also Non-comedogenic.
As for application, this product works well with or without foundation underneath, since it already includes foundation in the particles. I find that it has the perfect coverage for my sensitive skin. Application is easy and smooth, whether you use a sponge or a large powder brush. Best of all, all you need is just a small amount (sometimes less is more). All you need to do, is place a small amount in the cap. And like I mentioned earlier, use a makeup sponge or your powder brush to apply to your face.
If you happen to have dark under-eye circles, this loose powder is also very good to use after you have applied concealer in those dark area. This acts as the perfect setting powder as well, because it blends so well into the skin, creating a flawless looking skin.
