Purely Mineral Makeup

Disclaimer, I don't use this powder alone as foundation. I have very dry combination skin. I remember using this back in the day when I was in my 20s/30s as a great mineral foundation when that's all I had to wear. As I got older, my hormones, stress and bad ingredients in foundation made my skin SUPER dry and no matter what I tried, nothing looked good. Recently, I went back to my …Read more

I normally use Glominerals but my skin started getting dry with age. I bought this makeup based on MA reviews and I'm so glad I did! This is my HG mineral foundation. It's very blendable and buildable while not caking at all. My MAC NW20 skin matched perfectly with ML44. I have very sensitive skin so I use Pevonia physical sunscreen which leaves a shiny finish. This knocks the …Read more

The best mineral powder I have ever used! Looks sparkly in the container, but beautiful on the skin. I use it as a setting powder after everything is on, blends everything beautifully!

I love this foundation. I have bought it in loose and pressed versions but I prefer the loose. The pressed gets all hard and cakes when applying. I have extremely sensitive skin. Some of the most popular mineral makeup even breakers me out (Bare minerals, Neutrogena, L'Oreal). Color selection is ok but if you can find your color you won't regret buying this makeup. My Favorite!

This is for the loose version of Merle Norman's purely mineral makeup. I used Bare Minerals loose powder for years but eventually found it drying and too shiny. I am also a fan of GloMinerals Pressed Base, but sometimes that's too matte for me. Now that I'm 50 and have dry skin, liquid and cream foundations just look too heavy on me. Strangely, a light mineral powder is the best …Read more

I can't even mention all the brands and types of make up i tried all those years. I m 36 with quite good skin for my age. Quite dry because of RetinA especially in winter. I always use high SPF everyday under any make up.
I have used from super $$ make up like la mer , cle de peau , Chanel to low prices like Bourjois. I do not make up much but always wear tinted sunscreen + setting …Read more

Amazing, wonderful, miraculous foundation- just way too orangey! I have extremely sensitive, pale yellow skin that breaks out with almost anything. I've tried high-end (Sisley) to mid- (Dior) to low end, with minimal success. I love Lorac Natural Performance foundation, but wanted a light powder foundation for off days. Usually, mineral powders look ashy or don't last on me. This is …Read more

This is a great loose mineral foundation/finishing powder with very few ingredients, so fab for sensitive skin! My biggest complaint is the color choices. I wear L10, the lightest color and at NW15-NW20, I'm not considered pale or even very fair, more of a fair to light skin. I can not imagine anyone lighter than I am (or yellow/warm toned) would be able to wear this as a foundation as I …Read more

This is literally the ONLY makeup that doesn't break me out. It doesn't containt bismuth, talc, or mica. It's truly organic, and should be touted across the globe as the BEST foundation ever made.

I've literally tried every kind of makeup: BareMinerals, Lancome Teint Miracle, Erno Laszlo's excuse for foundation, Philosophy's Tinted Moisturizer, Laura …Read more

I love this product. I have also used the Merle Norman loose version and love that, too. This product does not accentuate pore and fine lines, dry out your skins, etc. It's like magic what is does for you face, although you look like you are not wearing makeup. I am relatively new to Merle Norman, but I have to say that pretty much everything I have tried, I simply love. Their products are …Read more
