Applying foundation has just been made easy with this egg shaped sponge called the Beautyblender. The creation of 2 hollywood makeup artists, Rea Ann Silva and Veronica Lorenz, both experts in creating the perfect flawless finish for their celebrity clients. The unique patent pending elliptical shape offers a quick foundation fix and easy application from the standard sharp edged designs. The Beautyblender smooth suede texture is soft to the touch and allows for blending perfection, even for those hard to reach spots. What you end up with is a professional finish and a flawless complexion. The Beautyblender sponge also comes with it’s own cleansing solution so no need to throw away.

One of the reasons why I don’t really wear foundation too much is I can never seem to find a shade that will match my skin perfectly and even though I do use mineral powders for a smooth finish the skin care, makeup products I have used to even out my skin tone have been the kind to lighten and brighten your complexion like CA Botana’s Doctor Schwab Flawless Skin Fluid or Dr. Perricone’s Ceramic Skin Smoother.
Last night however I saw a commercial from Almay on their Smart Shade Foundation. Basically the foundation goes on as a white lotion which contains microscopic color beads that once they make contact with your skin are activated and transform into your skin’s perfect shade. Now that’s pretty smart! The foundation also has an SPF 15 and natural antioxidants like grapeseed, gingko biloba and ginseng that keeps your skin glowing.

What we put on our skin applies not only to the type of skincare products we use but also to the type of makeup we wear. We’ve all heard the benefits of using Mineral Makeup. It’s free of dyes, perfumes and chemicals which can irritiate sensitive skin as well as cause future skin problems.
Even though Mineral Makeup has been around for a long time, It has only become really popular in the last few years. With the advances in skincare and women looking to introduce beauty products that are result driven, more and more women are finding that adding mineral makeup to the daily regimen is just as important. It is highly recommended to use makeup that is non-comedogenic (non pore clogging) so that skin can breathe. Mineral makeup allows your skin to breath instead of congesting it which can lead to blemishes and other skin problems. Mineral makeup is considered the healthy makeup for all skin types. It’s so good for your skin you can sleep in it if you wish!
A brand that I absolutely have to recommend is Erth Minerals. Erth Mineral Makeup consists of a wonderful selection of foundations, powders, bronzers, blushers and eyeshadows. All available in a grand selection of colors to enhance any skin type. Erth specializes in minerals so the product you get is 100% pure crushed minerals. Their line of foundations are light weight but offer enough coverage for any problem you want to camouflage. The bronzers give a natural sunkissed look to the skin and the eyeshadows a glamorous shimmer that brings out the beauty of your eyes. When all put together the end result is a natural, smooth, flawless, glowing finish.

In our busy life anything that can help to make it easier is gladly welcomed and this includes the makeup products we use everyday. Per-fekt Beauty is skin perfection made easy. A spray pump foundation gel that goes on silky smooth and instantly improves skin tone, minimizing fine lines and shrinking pore size. Per-fekt Beauty is a great alternative to the traditional foundation. It’s also available in a few different shades - my favorite is the clear. No oils or fragrances included in this product and all you get is healthy glowing skin everytime!

I never used to wear makeup on a daily basis until mineral makeup came around. Finally a makeup you can sleep in and it’s good for the skin! One line I particulary like is Bare Escentuals
. No chemicals, preservatives, oil, fragrance and dyes. Totally pure and healthy for your skin. I love their powder. It gives such a flawless finish and totally addicting for anytime wear when you want gorgeous looking skin.
Their latest breakthrough is the RareMinerals™ Skin Revival Treatment. It’s the first-ever mineral-based nighttime treatment that delivers fresh, smooth, bright, healthy and more luminous skin while you sleep. How great is that, you don’t have to wash your face before bedtime!
Available at Sephora
