"   I&amp;#039;ve been on the hunt for the perfect foundation for what seems like years. I&amp;#039;ve spent so much money trying different brands, thinking I&amp;#039;d found the one, only to end up falling out of love as soon as I&amp;#039;d spent \u00A320+ on a second bottle. Typical. Even though I&amp;#039;d heard good things about mineral foundation I never really thought it was for me - I assumed it was more for the people who can get away with wearing tinted moisturiser as a base. I didn&amp;#039;t believe minerals would give me the heavy coverage I wanted, I didn&amp;#039;t think they&amp;#039;d last the entire day and I was adamant they&amp;#039;d fall off my face... but I was wrong! I was introduced to the Original BareMinerals SPF15 foundation, \u00A325 back in February time. I begrudgingly let a makeup artist strip my skin bare of my beloved Estee Lauder Double Wear and replace it with my colour match - Fairly Light. She swirled a Full Flawless Face brush, \u00A324 into the product, tapped away the excess and then quickly buffed it in a circular motion onto my face. After a couple of minutes of swirl, tapping and buffing away, my skin was left totally flawless. I was amazed. There wasn&amp;#039;t a dodgy foundation line in sight and, even better; it felt like I wasn&amp;#039;t wearing any makeup. I actually got loads of compliments on how my skin looked that day too! In true Lucy style, I was still cynical and didn&amp;#039;t think I could achieve the same flawless finish on my own. After all, it&amp;#039;s a makeup artist&amp;#039;s job to make you look good and apply products properly, right? Right. But I used BareMinerals the following morning and I managed to achieve exactly the same finish as I&amp;#039;d had the day before: it literally is just a case of swirl, tapping and buffing. I&amp;#039;m now a total convert, and a seriously happy one at that. I haven&amp;#039;t used any other foundation since and, contrary to popular belief the minerals don&amp;#039;t fall off my face (!), it creates a gorgeous finish in hardly any time at all, and because I&amp;#039;m no longer caking my face in makeup, I&amp;#039;m not getting as many spots and my skin is in a much better condition than it has been for a while. I&amp;#039;ve actually recently run out of BareMinerals so decided to give Beautiful Movements mineral foundation in Stripped, \u00A314, a go and so far I am as impressed with this. I&amp;#039;m still using the Full Flawless Face brush to apply and it achieves the same results. That said though, I think I&amp;#039;ll probably go back to BareMinerals once this has run out because you know, a first love is always the greatest! If you&amp;#039;re like me and are a bit of a cynic when it comes to minerals then I 100% suggest giving them a trial run - pop into a store and ask them to show you some products, or Beautiful Movements offer sample sizes on their website. I promise you won&amp;#039;t be disappointed. \u00A0 YOU&amp;#039;RE INVITED TO #COSMOBEAUTYFEST FIVE HANDY THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MINERAL COSMETICS TODAY&amp;#039;S BEST BEAUTY BUY IS...
