While mineral makeup feels like the latest rage in cosmetics, it’s actually one of the oldest ways of enhancing your beauty, and can be traced back to the days of Cleopatra. The Pur Minerals makeup line, made with the finest micronized minerals, bound together with natural moisturizers shea butter and vitamin E, provides flawless coverage that’s good for the skin. From cleansers and creams, to blushes, brushes and bronzers, Pur Minerals offers a full range of high quality, easy-to-use products at a fair price.

My new go-to product is the Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation with SPF 15: truly a one minute miracle. This foundation, concealer and finishing powder with SPF protection is captured in a cute, convenient compact, and provides better coverage than any liquid foundation I’ve tried.

Still breaking out at 27, I try to conceal the awful little marks those retched pimples leave behind. Evening out my complexion is a daily ritual I absolutely loathe. This compact is perfect for those lazy, no-makeup days at home when you get that dreaded pop in, and you need to fix your face… fast! With a fluffy blush brush and my 4-in-1 compact, I can dust the powder over my face in a couple of minutes while my fiance stalls my friend at the door. For more coverage, apply extra pressure, and use a small brush to cover up pimples and hyperpigmented spots.

Another fabulous thing about this product is that I’ve finally found a foundation that matches my skin tone. Until now, I’ve settled for blending the closest contenders, crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. One day after applying my homemade concoction, I caught a glimpse of myself in the sunlight and realized that not only do I need to find a better shade of foundation, I need a new light in my bathroom. The Porcelain shade matches my skin so perfectly that not only do I look like I’m not wearing makeup, I don’t feel like I’m wearing it either. Finally, my skin can breathe!

Wearing makeup when you have breakouts is definitely a catch 22. While foundation masks the problem, it often makes it worse. The Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup is ideal for acne sufferers because it isn’t loaded with all the chemicals and fillers in regular foundations. Chemical dyes, talc, alcohol, fragrances and preservatives can really irritate and dry out the skin. And more importantly, the 4-in-1 compact is oil-free, so it won’t clog your pores.

And speaking of pores….

The Pur Minerals See No More Pore Minimizer provides a perfect base for your mineral makeup. This citrus scented serum quickly seeps into the skin, and is designed to improve the appearance of medium to large sized pores. Although I didn’t see a noticeable difference in my skin with the serum alone, it created a perfectly smooth canvas for makeup application, and as a result, I used much less. More im-pore-tantly (pun intended) the 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation rested atop the invisible layer of serum, instead of sinking into my pores, which significantly reduced their appearance.
