“I always tell customers it’s important to make sure your mineral makeup is pure so you know you are receiving the positive mineral benefits for your skin such as moisture balancing, anti-aging and a natural SPF for sun protection” says Luci Scarman. “We use leading technology and a world class mineral testing facility to make sure our products are of the highest quality. This makeup is so good for your skin you can sleep in it!’ she says.
“The majority of shoppers these days want to make educated purchases and will read the ingredients labels. We encourage women to look at what they are putting onto their skin and go completely natural,” says Scarman.

There was beautiful colour payoff and the highest shine I have seen in a mineral eyeshadow with incredibly shimmery colour. This brush has an angled brush at one end and an eyeshadow brush at the other, so is great value as a 2-in-1 brush.
