Custom-made minerals

If you are a mineral make-up fan like us, then you will be interested to hear about new range Mineralogie. With a staggering 200 eye shadow colours, lipsticks, blushers, foundations and more, this range is worth investing in. We simply love their mineral foundation which gives lasting coverage, contains SPF 26 and (quite simply the cherry on the top) can be customised to suit your skin's needs. If you want to help fight fine lines they can add Indian Frankincense to your foundation - maybe you want to even the tone of your skin? They'll add Liquorice Root or perhaps even some skin protecting anti-oxidants. Is this the future of make-up? We hope so!

Mineralogie SPF26 Shaker Jar Loose Foundation is £27, 0208 868 4411
