RAW Natural Minerals Foundation

So I'm finally posting a review I promised on one of the mineral foundations I have tested and in my opinion this is the better of the mineral foundations that I have tried so far but I'm still looking for more to test so stay tuned.This kit is from RAW Natural Minerals and I got to try this product in the full size jars because it was given as a Christmas gift but you can try it for free with their sample Discovery Kit plus you get to keep the free gifts which is a 3 piece brush set.My full size supply lasted 2 months but if you buy the discovery sample kit you will get a 30 day trial,that's a great deal for a month of mineral use for $4.95 standard ship.I have to say the best part of this particular brand was it's staying power,it lasted from morning until almost 11 pm when I was ready to shower and I didn't have to retouch anything.I don't really like retouching make-up unless I have to anyway because your skin gets that natural glow during the middle of the day that's pretty.The coverage was light/medium but very buildable and there was no caked look.I was hoping for just a bit more on the coverage side still it was okay. I found the color option in the light kit that my friend chose for me blended well with my hard to match very light skin tone.I also want to mention what lovely soft glow the minerals give off on your face.The active veil sunscreen powder also acted as another layer of coverage and it's great reassurance to help protect your skin from UV Rays.Plus I felt as if I was wearing nothing on my face,my skin felt breezy and light not like that feeling you get when you know you have too much product on your face and you can't wait to wash it off.The bronzer powder or mineral glow was dark in the pot but it adds a deep colorful glow to your cheeks as well as anywhere you want a little flushed highlight,even on your eyes which I tried and it gave them a nice pop. The brushes were soft, easy to work with making application smooth and neat. The concealer brush is amazing,it's not a designer brand but it helped with the little spots that had to be covered with flying colors. I have tried other brands before but never liked the coverage so I'm always skeptical of mineral powder foundations but this changed my opinions of that.With this kit you conceal first with the concealing brush on those little areas that need more coverage then you sweep the foundation on with the large foundation brush. I did it in that order but found coverage was better when I concealed the little spots again after the full sweeping of my face, You can layer on the minerals until you satisfied. It also went on smooth with my moisturizer under the foundation.I suggest using a moisturizer that isn't too oily and finishes off matte on your skin so application goes on smoother. You get 2 different shades in your choice of skin color so matching your own tone is easier.The redness was covered and my skin looked uniform. If you have really uneven skin tone or severe problem skin you may need to conceal a bit more or possibly add a thin layer of some liquid foundation underneath to get full coverage that gives you more confidence. Also if your skin is very dry or you have flaking issues you need to moisturize first because dry patches show up. It's really a super bargain just to try because it's free and you only pay like $4.95 for the standard shipping and if you are not satisfied after 30 days just send the jars back and keep the brush set as a gift for free regardless. You can't beat this offer just to try it. If you do like the minerals you will be billed $90 which they say is a 50% sale price for joining the club and after that you get a 60 day supply for $59.50 of having your choice of minerals sent to you automatically. Even though this was a gift given to me and I really loved the minerals I opted not to join the club because I don't know if I'm ready to commit to this one brand just yet.But I got a chance to sign up to their website and I can purchase single pieces without buying a full kit or without having to join because of that initial kit that I got so you can choose to do that as well after you try the minerals.If anyone is interested in trying it for yourself I recommend it, you wont have anything to lose for paying only $4.95 shipping.What you get in the Discovery 7 Piece Kit to try it out is listed below:Remember to choose the standard ship option because priority ship is $9.95 and you will be billed for that price instead.The link is above,just click on RAW Natural Minerals.This product has a shade available for women of all color and ethnicity's
