I have tried mineral cosmetics before and I like them but the biggest problem for me is that the foundation always tends to flake as the day goes on. That was until I tried Mineral Hygienics! I was thrilled when they agreed to work with me because I had an event that I really wanted to try them out for. Fate would throw me a curve that would really show me how wonderful they are. A few weeks ago I was getting ready to head out to do a few errands. I had thrown on a pair of jeans,pulled my unwashed hair up in a bun, and really wasn’t going to bother with makeup. I was already running late and not having a great day.
I dashed into the bathroom to brush my teeth and that is when I noticed how bad I looked. The Mineral Hygienics bag was on the shelf so I grabbed it and literally slapped the foundation on. I cannot begin to telly ou the difference I noticed right away. In fact that foundation is all I wore all day in 70 degree weather without a single flake. I was sweating too by the end of the day, thanks to some car trouble and twenty minutes on the side of the road. I received the Light Startup Kit which included:2 shades of Mineral Hygienics SPF Foundation (Fairly Light Mineral Foundation and Light Mineral Foundation), Mineral Hygienics mineral enhancer (Cool Kiss), Mineral finishing powder (Sheer Perfection), and I received a Kabuki brush.
The foundation works wonderfully but when you put it all together you get an amazing look. The Enhancer is a bronzer which adds just a little bit of color. For someone like me who spends most of my time inside, working, I don’t get the chance to wear makeup often. I also am not the best with it. With Mineral Hygienics I don’t have to know how to do everything because it is so great that it does all the work for me.
I wanted to show you just how well these cosmetics work so I did a before and after picture. However I didnt do that standard put on all of my makeup and then let you see. As you will notice that the side of my face is really red. It has really broken out lately, however check out the second photo. The only thing I put on is the foundation. The is no primer, lotion, nothing! Just the foundation.
Mineral Hygienics has much more than just foundations or bronzers, there are eye shadows, liners, lipsticks, and how tos. It is your one stop shop for cosmetics. The best thing is they have Free shipping for orders over $75 and there is a discount for all of my readers. This discount is good until June so Shop Now!

Tell me about a day that makeup saved you from looking your worst?
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I have (cough) reached an age where my skin tone is not as even as it was. I’d love a makeup that evens out the reddish splotches.
Joanna says
I love your pictorial demonstration. Sound like a very promising product as well.
Tammy S says
I need to try this! I have super sensitive skin and have a hard time wearing anything. I just need a little something to even out my skin tone. Your pictures are awesome!! I think it truly shows how well it works. I am going to have to check this out. Thanks for another awesome review!
Karen Glatt says
I love mineral make-up because it blends in so well and does not look like I am wearing a ton of make-up! It looks so natural. I like this brand, and it made you look so nice and natural!
Ari says
I too don’t like make up that starts to flake or looks like it’s obviously put on instead of looking like it’s finely blended onto the skin. Thanks for sharing the comparison photos! The foundation does look very nice. I like the idea of mineral make up because it doesn’t feel sticky and heavy, and even though it is light, it won’t just come off if you are sweating or you accidentally brush your face.

I adore this brand! First found them in my Green Grab Bag subscription!
Tina says
I love the sound of mineral makeup. I don’t like makeup that feels heavy and flakes. This sounds like it is worth the try
Jimmy Arcade says
It’s really nice to see beauty products with more natural source ingredients, like mineral-based versions, being used. My wife doesn’t wear much make-up, but when she does, she usually opts for the mineral-based versions.

I’m going to have to say that make up saved me on my wedding day. The night before, I was so excited I couldn’t sleep. Plus, the fact I was still doing final touches to details about my wedding down to the wire. I spent the night hanging out with my sister too, so we chatted it up all night. I know for a fact that I more than likely looked pretty rough. Knowing that, I had booked a professional to do my hair and make up. I had never done that before, so I wanted to treat myself to that; when else can you really have that done?! Make up saved my life that day and I have the pictures to prove it for the rest of my life. 🙂
Donna George says
Wow, that looks wonderful. I have some of the same problem, but on my neck. It turns so red. Thanks for the review.
Eileen says
I’ve only tried the mineral foundation once and it was simply the wrong color so I gave up. I’d love to try it again. I do know I need moisturizer but I like the idea of a light base without oil and lotions. Rita that is really a nice look!
Rita Iryanti says
oh it works and must be tried! 🙂
Ambrielle Bender says
I love my mineral makeup! I like how I feel like my skin can still breathe. I get bad acne occasionally and I have oily and sensitive skin, so using anything other than minerals is a no go anymore. I have never tried this brand but would like to try it next time I order some!
