Moisturizing Mineral Foundation

Recently a girl leaned over in a waiting room and asked me what I was doing to have such nice skin. I thanked her for the compliment and credited the usual suspects - a reasonably healthy diet and adequate water intake to stay hydrated. I also mentioned it was important to get enough sleep and exercise, but admitted my life didn't always allow that - and I'd been exposed to way too much second-hand smoke where I'd been living and could see its negative effects on my skin. Still, even I had to admit that the smooth, slightly glowing complexion she'd complimented belied my circumstances. And then I remembered my ally and quickly told her about Illuminare Cosmetics. I started using their Moisturizing Mineral Foundation because it had fewer and safer ingredients than many other makeups, and found I loved the way it looked. As the second-hand smoke took its toll, I was able to camouflage the ill effects with this lovely, light foundation that gives just the right amount of coverage. I recommend applying it with Illuminare's Fast Application Pad, because it helps to give a smooth finish. I'd also told a friend about Illuminare. Before attending a special event, she went to a professional makeup artist - and left looking about 20 years older. The makeup used had created a dry effect and settled into and magnified every fine line. My friend had to wash off that expensive application and use my makeup. She achieved a much more desirable result and was able to enjoy her party. If you're not yet fighting the changes wrought by environment and/or time, this makeup will help you to look flawless. If you are, it will help you to look your youthful self for quite a bit longer.

I have tried more salicylate-free foundations than I can count and I started to give up and think I would never be able to find one that would match up to Sephora-type mainstream foundations. I am so truly happy to have finally found Illuminare because this foundation is not only far better than any salicylate-free foundation I have tried, it's actually the best foundation I've ever used in comparison to any popular mall product I used before I discovered my salicylate sensitivity!! Thank you Illuminare for allowing people with allergies and auto-immune diseases to have products that match up to non-hypoallergenic products so that we can enjoy makeup again! You foundations are a true game-changer.

I have never loved a foundation so much in my life. This product makes me look like I have amazing skin. It's so superior to any other brand I have tried. The coverage it provides is just the right amount (not too heavy). I feel like I've been transformed into a goddess every time I wear it.

Best foundation I have ever used. Very moisturizing and gives you a youthful appearance.

I have ultra sensitive/reactive skin. Being a trained beauty consultant, I have tried many hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, fragrance free foundations. I have reacted to all of them!! This really is the only foundation that I can wear (even not remove before sleeping!) that does not hurt my skin!! Thank you for reducing my wedding stress!!! :-))

I have been a make up junkie for many years...drug store, Infomerical, high end, Avon and BE....I have used liquid, powder and creme foundations and they all leave my skin feeling dry and itchy. Not too mention the plethra of eyeshadows (won't go there!) NOTHING absolutely nothing compares the this gem of a product! A little dab is truly all you need for all day coverage and your tube will last you many, many months and I love the SPF - a trus plus in my book. I would recommend to anyone and everyone!! Great job Ruthie!

I think this stuff is really special, i've tried countless foundations, enhancers, and tinted moisturizers, and i have never come across anything like this. This is SO natural it looks like real skin EVEN in natural light and i am super, super picky about any hint of un-naturalness to a foundation. I dont want to look like i am wearing any and for that reason unless i am wearing this stuff, I dont wear any, because everything else looks fake to me. This stuff is totally natural, light coverage, very moisturizing, easy to apply - i apply in seconds with fingers and thats it for the day - or till the next day sometimes lol ;). Last summer i went to a lot of parties and i must admit i slept in this quite a lot of times, and it didnt cause me to break-out. This, in a sea of synthetic, cakey, clogging foundations, is a breath of freash air. The only reason why i took of 1 star is because it is very moisturizing which while it does provide a beautiful dewy glow, requires me to blot.

I have oily skin and break out. Then I got dry! But I still had oily spots. Also I needed coverage. I found I could use Fantastic Finish on most of my face to look dewey, then use the Ultimate All Day (for oily skin) on my nose and chin and using the concealer brush, on spots and eyelids. I had the best of both worlds! My spots were covered well AND my T zone wasn't shiny. I used to alternate the Everyday and the UAD, But now that my skin needs a little help, this works really well! It's a lighter, more sheer finish so it gives a youthful, no makeup look. Sometimes I use it by itself and it looks like I have a child's skin! I am glad I didn't let the more moist finish stop me. It really gives a "baby skin" look that is beautiful. AND it doesn't break me out, it's 100% oil free! Feels good on TOO!
