EX1Cosmetics Pure Crushed Mineral Powder Foundation (4.0)

Wow! I struggle with mineral powder foundation caking through the day and I've tried most of the big brands. This sits beautifully all day and the tone is great for my skin. The only downside is most brands, once you unscrew the lid they have an internal mechanism to close the powder off so if you're taking it traveling it doesn't make a huge mess when you open it....This doesn't have that. So be warned if it's going on holiday or in your bag, you might get covered in some powder when you open it. But the way it sits on your skin will make up for it!

Hardly any coverage at all. Doesn't cover redness in cheeks like my Avon one does. It's more like a loose finishing powder than a foundation. I've had to mix it with my Avon mineral powder to get a small amount of coverage. Colour match is good though, much better than Avon (which is why i tried it in the first place). If you're looking to cover blemishes or uneven pigment/redness then unfortunately this product doesn't deliver.

The makeup is so reasonably priced for the quality, I have skin very prone to breakouts and i have not broken out once with use! blends wonderfully and definitely allows skin to breathe! Colour is great too, the colour guide on their website is brill! The coverage is lighter however, suits me perfectly as i go for light coverage but someone wanting a heavier concentration of pigment may wish to use this as a setting powder instead.

This mineral foundation is good and a true match for the equivalent time of the liquid foundation. However, it did make my skin feel taunt and a little dry. I then used a prima in addition to my moisturiser and all was great after that.

Powder can be used alone or over foundation. Great product, good price and fabulous range of deeper tones available.
