Joppa Mineral Foundation Look and Review
Monday, August 9, 2010
Even though most of my looks on the blog nowadays feature liquid foundations, I almost always use mineral makeup on weekdays. Why? In all my experience dealing with foundations, I still find mineral makeup to be the gentlest, most beneficial foundation for my skin, because the real mineral foundations have only 4-5 ingredients that are bereft of parabens, talc, and other unpronounceable ingredients that clog pores and wreak havoc on my skin. If I use liquid or traditional foundation for more than twice a week, I break out real bad. However, that doesn't mean that I cannot get more coverage or won't have the same flawless finish with mineral makeup as I do with liquid makeup.
To mimic the liquid foundation effect, I use the "wet method" with mineral makeup. I dispense a little mineral foundation on a swirly bowl, I take my flat top or long-handled kabuki brush and swirl the head onto the bowl, making sure that all the minerals are tucked into the hairs of the brush, then apply the product on my face in circular, buffing motions. I then repeat the process if I need more coverage. I then take a facial hydrating mist and spritz the liquid on my face, then I buff my face again to let the liquid mix with the minerals. It sets the foundation and gives the minerals a liquid foundation finish that I like, without the pore-clogging ingredients.
L-R: newer smaller jar (Light 2.5 Full Coverage), older huge jar (Medium Light 2.5 Full Coverage)
One of my favorite mineral foundations of late is Joppa Minerals Full Coverage foundation. I almost always reach for this on a regular basis. I love the full coverage because it gives great coverage using only very little product - so it's actually economical and beneficial to the skin at the same time. Finish is simply flawless and staying power is amazing.
