Product Description
Ultimate All Day Foundation / Concealer - Matte Finish Sunscreen Makeup - SPF 21 - Squeeze Tube

An oil absorbing matte finish, broad spectrum UVA/UVB non-degradable sunscreen makeup in one. Will not rub off or sweat off, is highly water resistant and will not block pores. Will not change color, lasts all day without creasing and provides medium coverage to even skin tone and conceal blemishes. This is the formula to use if you have oily skin and it will keep you shine free and natural looking all day. No need for additional powder or blotting! For normal to dry skin types who desire an all day, non-transferable matte finish, apply an oil-free moisturizer underneath.

Illuminare liquid mineral makeup is different from traditional makeup. You don't need to use much and you will find that it looks much better and performs better than any makeup you've ever tried before, and best of all it's recommended by Dermatologists. So you know it's good for your skin!

I am always on the search for a "perfect" foundation that is natural looking. I have tried mineral makeup like Bare Escentuals and I think Illuminare is a superior product - with the caveat that everyone's skin is different. I have relatively oily skin but need coverage of blotchiness and shine. I still have to blot with oil absorbing sheets throughout the day (as with any makeup if you are really oily) but my skin feels lighter, cleaner, and less clogged with this product. FYI, I'm in my late 20's and have relatively large pores and some fine lines. It is hard to find a makeup that doesn't accentuate pores and feel heavy/oily/cakey. This is one of the few. It seems to minimize pores and reduce shine for a bit, and it stays on ALL DAY. And with SPF, how could you ask for more? It is expensive but this stuff lasts forever. You only need a tiny amount, and that is the key to applying it properly. I just use my fingers to apply in the middle part of my face and it blends very well. If you have very dry skin, this is not the one for you (but they have a moisturizing formula as well). The coverage is great if you want a lot, but you can make it very light and natural as well. I rarely give positive reviews on products but this one has grown on me. If you have been less than thrilled with other mineral makeup because of issues like accentuating shine and pores, I suggest this instead...and it is easier because you don't have to put on a primer and mineral veil.

I bought this product at the suggestion of my estitician when I was looking for a new all-in-one foundation that would be easy to apply and include an SPF. It works wonderfully, does not need to be reapplied, does not bother my sensitive skin, and offers great coverage. The only downsize is the price but I use less than a pea sized amount to cover my whole face so it does last a long time. I also highly recommend purchasing the applicator poof that is also offered by this manufacturer- it makes a huge difference.

I have tried a lot of foundations and this liquid foudation is the best one yet. I had been using bare minerals for a few years and felt like my face was starting to dry out. Then I was looking around and found this liquid mineral foundation. I still use the powder minerals when I am in a hurry but really love this stuff. It covers everything I need to cover without it looking cakey or made up. It also matching my skin color so good that it really doesn't look like I have any make up on.
