The most expensive mineral make-up brands tend to be those that specialise solely in this form of make-up and have decades of experience behind them - some dating back to the 70s when the formulation was first manufactured.
This does not necessarily mean, however, they are also the best. On the contrary, there are many high street brands that are also worth exploring.
In order to choose the best mineral make-up, you need to know what you are looking for. This beauty option is popular for its natural but enriched formulation. Superior ranges contain essential vitamins, antioxidants and ingredients that hydrate the skin, and zinc oxide, which gives natural protection against the sun.
In order to lift your skin so that it glows 'naturally', you need to look for these ingredients, so read the label carefully. Avoid talc - it is not good for your skin and can be drying. Instead, look for regular fine-milled soft minerals with no preservatives or parabens. Finally, compare the percentage of minerals with more specialist brands: the higher the figure the better.
Next, test it. Some high street brands have been accused of being too cakey, so sample the tester to gauge its weight on your skin. Dab your brush in the powder, tap off the excess, then apply in small circles in a downward direction. Build up the coverage slowly in layers until you achieve the effect you are after. The leave it for a while and check to see how it's faring as the day wears on.
