You know my love of liquid mineral foundation. There are not many out there so when I do come across one, I jump. The latest one I tried is from the Vegan-friendly line EMANI MINERALS. I wasn’t familiar with the brand so here’s their background in a nutshell – the mineral-based line was founded in 1998 with the objective of creating a high end line that’s formulated without parabens, talc, dyes or perfumes and uses 100% recycled paper goods. Wow, all qualities I think the average makeup wearer is concerned about. 

It seems like evening out the skin tone is at the bottom of the trait list for this Hydrating Liquid Mineral Foundation ($26/.5oz @ emani.com) as it does more than double-duty. This foundation is enriched in vitamin A (for aging) and Hyaluronic Acid (helps with water retention) and jojoba, sesame and safflower oils to smooth and hydrate the skin. And of course Titanium-Dioxide for SPF. It gives a medium to full coverage that is buildable and the finish and the Crème Beige was the perfect shade for my skin tone. Sometimes a mineral powder just isn’t the answer!
