I like mineral foundation;
they make me feel less guilty slapping make up on my skin. I felt they were
nicer to my skin than regular foundation and powders. It says on the website
that Nude is toxin, paraben and chemical free. I believe
them, because my skin is sensitive and acne prone, yet after using them for 3
years it never broke me out.
There are 2 mineral
powders brand that don’t break me out. The one that I use more and more is Nude
by Nature. I think we got a pretty good amount for the price AUD$ 39.90 since
it would last from 6 months to 7 months used everyday. It gives me a medium
coverage, which is perfect for an everyday make up. It does settle to my skin
after a couple of hours, but it could be because I am super oily and I live in
Indonesia which is very hot and humid. It does not control oil, if you are
oily, I suggest using a primer underneath or blot. It doesn’t have a great
staying power, if I use it for more than 6 hours; only 50% of it still stays on
afterwards. They have 5 color range now, which is a good improvement from only
light, medium and dark. I use to use their brush, which is pretty good and
soft, but have since 6 months ago switch into a puff. Using a puff give a
softer smoother finish than the brush. The brush tends to leave streaks of
powder and weirdly accentuates your pores. A puff on the other hand will
diminish your pores (for 2 hours before it melts).
Verdict: 3 and half star
for the medium coverage and natural ingredients. Less star because of the short staying power.
