FYI/Foundation- Mercier Foundation Powder

[Guest guest]

Since the board is so active these days with product info, thought I

would share the following:

I recently ran out of Jane Iredale powder and the vendor I use

wouldn't have it stock for another 2 weeks, so since I have no

problem using Mercier liquid, thought I would try the new

Foundation Powder. Liquids take a lot of time, and for everyday, I

often use powders.

Been using it one week with no problems, doesn't cover redness quite

as well as JI, but with my diet and skin care regime, the redness

and/or irritated areas not a major problem, only sensitivity. Very

silky texture and easy to work with. Costs about the same as JI.

Anyway, here are the ingredients.

I forgot to add 2 things:

(1) on days when my skin is feeling a bit dry, I just very lightly

spritz toner (water works too) keeping the sprayer about 6 inches

from my face, after I apply the powder, let dry naturally, takes

about 2 minutes. Leaves the skin less made up looking and works well

with the JI or LM.

(2) I always apply the powder with a short brush. JI makes a kabuki

brush, but I use Stila short travel push up brush...by the way, Stila

brushes are incredibly soft to the face. Most makeup brushes hurt my

skin like crazy.
