4) Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation spf 20

Now, just to clarify it’s taken me a long LONG time to find a Mineral Powder Foundation worthy or my rants, but alas I have found it. Ladies and select Gentlemen I give you Elizabeth Arden ‘Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation’ spf 20.
With out boring you all with the science end if things Mineralized products are beneficial for your skin as they are fortified with natural vitamins and minerals.
This formulae and foundation type is perfect for those who do not like apply liquids. Quite simply it’s ‘hassle free’ and ‘quick’.
For me this is a another revelation in the form of Mineralized foundations because bar some unbranded Mineralized foundations that I don’t like the look of , this is the ONLY one to be Talc free. This is a BIG DEAL as Talc clogs pores, meaning this foundation is:
non acnegenic
non comedogenic
Therefore, it you are prone to acne and spots/blackheads this foundations ticks all the right boxes.
Like all the above this foundation is buildable, making it light/medium coverage.
　
　
Setting the Tinted Moisturizers

Because tints radiate a sheer finish on the skin it is IMPORTANT to use a powder on the oily zones of your face (this does NOT apply to the Elizaberth Arden loose Mineralize powder foundation).
I recommend using the MAC Mineralized pressed powder. It is also Talc free but does not interrupt the natural coverage of your tints as it is virtually invisible but DOES set your tint.
These 3 foundations are excellent for MATURE SKIN as they are all lightweight and buildable, allowing the individual to achieve desired coverage. In my opinion tints ARE the best foundation type for mature skin, as they are kind to both the complexion and the skin’s natural texture.
A lot of ladies as they mature make the mistake of opting for a foundation that has a heavy coverage as they think this will ‘cover’ the skins texture. This decision actually has the opposite result and in fact increases the appearance of ageing as additional/heavier application and increased coverage magnifies.
Just to finish off I would like to include a visual of a model I used the above ‘Face and Body’ foundation on so as you can visually see the result.
