Review: LVF Mineral Makeup Foundation

I was shocked to read an article in the Daily Mail where their beauty writer Kay Montano confessed to just discovering mineral makeup. Just a little behind, perhaps! If you haven't discovered mineral makeup yet either, then LVF could be a great place to start.

I've tried several mineral makeup brands, including Lily Lolo, and LVF is now my current favourite (yes, even above Bare Escentuals). It could be because Ashlie, the fairest shade, was the closest match I've had to my skin tone yet, but there was plenty of other plus points to this brand...

I'm going to go with bullet points for this one...

You only needed the teeniest, tiniest amount. I know this is true generally with mineral makeup, but I found this to be even more so the case with LVF.
It wasn't too matte, or too shiny. Mostly, people complain of mineral makeup being too shiny - but I actually found Lily Lolo a touch on the matte side. LVF was right in the minute - there was still a glow, but nothing I would call 'shine'.
It's cheaper than Bare Escentuals and comes from Britain. Let's face it, good prices always win my heart.

If you fancy giving LVF a go, the foundation shades are priced at £12.50 each, with 20% off for new customers with the coupon code PFJENR.

hi emma, i just read your review about everyday minerals, i went to the site and ordered and at the end of my order i read something about a customs charge, do you know roughly how much they charge you for customs??

Hi Steph, you can use any kabuki brush, there's plenty of cheap ones available now. You could try using a blusher brush but I don't think it would work so well for buffing the minerals on.
