Mineral makeup review

It seems like nearly every make up brand is coming out with their own versions of 'mineral makeup'. Is there really much difference between brands? I would definitely say 'yes'!
The ingredients is a key thing to check on any of the products to ensure they don't contain non natural products like talc. The following mineral makeup brands are ones that I have either loved or loathed! 

 BellaPierre: This brand retails at about $80, at this price though, it does tick all the boxes! It contains just 4 natural ingredients, rating it as the most natural makeup that I have been able to find. Application is a breeze, coverage is easy to tailor (use more/less for desired coverage) and it lasts longer than any other mineral makeup I have used.

Bloom: Retailing at about $35, this foundation is definately value for money. It gives a lovely luminous finish to the face, giving excellent, easy to apply, coverage.

Natio: At the affordable price of about $19, the quality difference in this makeup is not very subtle. It comes in both a liquid and powder foundation, both of which I found to become patchy on my face during the day. The liquid foundation gives very poor coverage, while the powder is messy and difficult to apply evenly.
 






I definitely love using mineral makeup during the day and for work, but feel more comfortable with a normal foundation when going out for dinner/drinks, as I prefer a heavier coverage. 
It certainly has helped to keep my skin in better condition, and is worth taking the time to practice putting it on, before long it takes just 5 minutes for a natural, breathable foundation application.
