Review: Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation

I have been using the Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation for quite some time now and I think it is time that I told you what I think about it.

Well, I love it.

The foundation is free from talc, parabens, bismuth oxychloride, synthetic dyes and fragrances. This is always a good thing since these ingredients can irritate the skin and we don't want that.

I am a NC20 in MAC foundations and this means that I have yellow undertones and that I am quite fair. I ordered three samples, two light shades, Warm Peach (for warm skin tones) and Blondie (for neutral skin tones) and one light-medium shade, In the Buff( for neutral skin tones). I started using the two lighter shades at first but after my vacation I started to use In the Buff and I like how this warms up the skin

As I mentioned I love this mineral foundation and the reason for this is that it gives my skin a nice glow and it doesn't irritate it or dry it out. I have very dry skin with lots of texture to it and I am surprised how well this works on me. Normally powder foundations tend to look very powdery and dry on me but this blends nicely with my skin.

I think that the coverage for this foundation is light to medium. You can build up the coverage by applying more but there is a limit on how much you can apply before it looks powdery and cakey.

I have taken photos of my skin to show you before and after pictures. I haven't used anything but the foundation to show you how the foundation looks on the skin. Normally I would use concealer and sometimes also primer before I apply the foundation. I also use Fix+ from MAC as a finishing spray to make it blend into the skin better.

The picture on the left is with no foundation and the picture to the right is after I have applied the foundation.

The foundation has a limited staying power and it does start to disappear after a while and your imperfections start to show through. For me this isn't a problem since I wear concealer underneath but it can be a problem if you have oily skin.

There is one thing you should think about before you buy the mineral foundation from Lily Lolo and that is the glow factor. The foundation contains mica and this gives the skin a nice glow without any glitter. Because my skin is very dry it is also very matte and dull looking so for me this is a plus. But if you are oily this might make you look very shiny and this might not be the look you are looking for.

Overall grade: I love it and I will definitely buy this in full size. But if you have oily skin you should invest in a sample and see if it will make you look shiny because of the glow.

I bought this with my own money and it is my own opinion.
