Many people overlook the importance of a loose foundation, instead opting for heavier pressed powders or concealers. However, with the advance of skin technology, there’s been a massive shift towards a more natural, no-makeup aesthetic. So whether you wear your powder foundation alone for a translucent touch, or dust it over a full face to lock in a more dramatic makeup job, this versatile cosmetic staple will more than hold its own.
bareMinerals
bareMinerals makeup began as a humble cosmetics company in 1995. Since then, the company has stuck to their primary goal of providing natural, mineral makeup to customers who desire simplicity and healthfulness. This pioneer in the beauty industry wanted to avoid skin irritation and subsequent breakouts caused by typical makeup use, which is why all of bareMinerals’ foundations come in powder forms, with their “5 ingredient promise”. For a no-makeup look that’s light on feel and offers long-lasting coverage, the Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 fits the bill. Simply put, it’s the best mineral foundation for luminosity that will never dry your skin out. Even better, blemishes and imperfections are actually improved, thanks to the paraben-free, filler-free, oil-free formula. If you’re searching for a matte finish to combat any shininess, you can bank on the Matte Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15. Available in 20 different shades, you’ll notice that pores appear smaller and excess oil is absorbed by the product. After eight hours of wear, simply swirl, tap, and buff a light layer for to touch up your look. The most popular introduction to bare Minerals products – and most purchased makeup sets on the Beauty Bridge website– is The Original Mineral Foundation 4-Piece Get Started Kit. Within this box, you’ll find the Prime Time™ Foundation Primer, which evens skin texture, moisturizes dry skin, and shrinks pores with its top-secret formula of plant botanicals and antioxidants. Next, the Original (the best powder foundation) rests upon a now-perfect canvas, and the Mineral Veil finishing powder to lock it all in. In addition to these three products, the Get Started Complexion Kit is a mineral makeup set that also holds the Matte foundation, Warmth All-Over Face Color to revive cheeks, and the perfect application brush. Still not convinced that it can cover acne-prone skin? The bareMinerals Blemish Remedy Foundation minimizes redness, absorbs oils, and promotes healthier skin. Just dab onto problem areas for your new favorite skin solution.
Colorescience
Colorescience is another mineral makeup brand that prohibits the use of fragrance, mineral oil, alcohol, and talc in their product line. Their Starter Kit is one of the best mineral foundation combinations we sell. In this kit, you’ll discover their Pro Face Primer with SPF 20 coverage,, Mineral Powder Sun Protection, the Pro Mineral Foundation, Setting Mist, and a miniature kabuki brush that applies perfect coverage every time. Colorescience mineral makeup has created a targeted product for acne sufferers. The Let Me Be Clear tinted finishing powder can be applied throughout the day to absorb excess oil and offer a quick touch-up. Even better, the formula contains 1% salicylic acid, which actually improves skin tone over time. With 11 shades, their water-resistant Foundation Brush holds for at least eight hours, stands up to water exposure, and provides an effortless, radiant shimmer.
Mineral & Powder Foundations
When it comes to organic skin care products, few cosmetics companies hold their own against Youngblood. These cosmetics are in loose powder form (owing to the company’s refusal to use binding agents) and utilize natural ingredients. The Youngblood Mineral Foundation’s silky texture conceals blemishes, fine lines, and pores, and the non-comedogenic formula is safe for every skin type. Be sure to try the Purely The Basics Set, which combines this foundation with a rice setting powder, crushed mineral blush, and a complimentary miniature kabuki brush. For aging skin, Babor foundation is an excellent addition to any anti-aging makeup routine.
