YOU (and you, and you) need this!

July 15th, 2010 by sarah

While I’m obsessed with makeup, I do like to take a less is more approach…I mean, I can’t wear all my products in one shot, this isn’t the 80′s.  With it being summer and all, I also like to keep things beachy looking and minimal…and I have found the perfect product to achieve the ‘no makeup look’ gracefully.

Walking out of the house without full-blown foundation is now achievable thanks to Physician’s Formula Mineral Wear Correcting Powder.  This powder, with it’s candy colored hues, makes you want to give it a lick…but trust me, it’s more than just eye candy.  Each color blends together to give skin an even appearance and a flawless finish.  Pink helps to brighten, green tones down redness, and yellow adds glowing warmth.  The compact comes with a brush, but I like to use a more fluffy brush for easier application, I use this one by Bare Escentuals.

I first purchased this product to go along with my Physician’s Formula Healthy Wear Tinted Moisturer, to help add a more even finish.  But, I soon braved the notion of not wearing any makeup and applied this miracle powder over my daily facial moisturizer and I was super excited with the results.  The powder took away shine, evened out my skin, and hid my imperfections (I did spot conceal under my eyes and on a few pesky acne marks…hey, I’m not perfect!).  The coverage lasted all day and with a swipe of eyeshadow and mascara, I was good to go.

I’m also obsessed that this product is talc-free and the formula doesn’t cake, crease, or settle into wrinkles and fine lines.  And with the drugstore price of about $12, there is lots to love.  We all need a secret weapon in our makeup bag, and this is mine.

About Cupcakes Taste Nice

My lust for beauty products has been around since I was a kid. I always wanted the most eye catching packaging and the sweetest scents. As a preteen I could not wait to get my first pimple so that I could try out the different acne products that were marketed to me in magazines and on TV. As I got older I just loved the girlie side of wanting to look and feel pretty. I love taking a shower on Saturday morning and having a plethora of products to choose from depending on my mood that day. I anticipate my beauty and style magazines coming in the mail so I can read and research new products. I even spend hours on the internet searching for factual reviews of the latest and greatest products.
