"Let’s get Nude" laughed the charismatic and fabulous Clint Dowdell of Australian mega makeup brand, Nude by Nature, at its New Zealand launch this week.
Clint did a makeover on the gorgeous-even-without-makeup Tineke, who is from Nude by Nature’s New Zealand PR agency, BDM Grange. She even appropriately wore a nude dress for the occasion.
Clint applied primer then liquid foundation and set it with powder. He told us how their mineral loose powder foundation doesn’t contain talc or bismuth. The problem with bismuth – which some mineral foundation brands use for its smooth and lasting qualities – is that it contains tiny ‘hooks’ which grip to the skin but can be really itchy and uncomfortable, especially for people with rosacea or with sensitive skin.
Instead, Nude by Nature has a base of kaolin clay, which melts on the skin turning to a liquid, so you can set it with a finishing powder over the top for a great finish that lasts and lasts.

The Nude by Nature range. Colours are natural and simple, and if Clint gets his way, there will be red lipsticks coming soon!

Nude by Nature will be available in New Zealand from Farmers, priced around $41.99 for powders.
