Being a person who is obsessed with what I put on my face it was only a matter of time before I went down the mineral makeup road. With so many Mineral brands on the market these days it is hard to decide which one is right for you and also one that isn’t going to break the budget! A few friends of mine had been using Prestige Mineral makeup for a while and raved about it, so I thought I would give it a try and see what they were all talking about. I went in a little sceptical and not sure about the idea of a powdered foundation. I must say I was extremely surprised.
The first product I tried and which is now a staple in my own makeup bag is the Prestige Finish Mineral Powder Foundation. I first applied the foundation using a powder press. I found that by doing this I got more coverage and less of a caked on chalky look. The foundation stayed put all day and I only really needed to reapply a small amount around the jaw line at the end of the day.
The second week I used the foundation, I applied using a powder brush, dipping the brush into a small amount of product and gliding it over my forehead, cheeks, jaw and neck. The results were amazing, stayed all day and looked as though I had a natural glow. If I can suggest one thing it is to apply a moisturizer or sunscreen, 5 minutes or so before applying the foundation. I found that by doing this the foundation had more staying power, applied more smoothly and looked a touch better.
Now down to the juicy and important details. Prestige Mineral Foundation contains vitamin A, C and the all powerful Vitamin E which heals the skin and in my case reduces redness. In this little wonder there is also Shea Butter extract which does a phenomenal job at moisturizing the skin and Chamomile to sooth the skin. It is fragrance, talc, oil, paraben and zinc oxide free. Phew! With all that goodness why wouldn’t you give it a go?
The second product I tried was the Prestige Soft Blend Kohl Eyeliner. As a contact lenses wearer I often find that certain
eyeliners or mascaras make my lenses a bit gluggy and uncomfortable. I had high hopes for the mineral eyeliner and it went above and beyond my expectations.
I love wearing black eyeliner on my top eyelids and I often feel a bit weird when I am not wearing it. My eyes are greedy and they do tend to eat up my eyeliner and I end up reapplying more times then Heidi Montage has surgery. I have been wearing Prestige for 2 weeks now and I have not had any issues with contact lenses, fading or reapplying, it’s been great! With all this free time I have now not having to do my eyeliner every hour I don’t know what to do with myself. The pencil also doubles as an eye shadow and is equipped with a built in sponge tip so you can create a soft Smokey eye. It really doesn’t get much better then this.
RRP: Prestige Mineral Foundation $27.95 and Prestige Eyeliner $14.95 available from selected Priceline pharmacies.
