Intelligent Cosmetics® mineral make up foundation, setting veil, concealer, natural mineral ingredients (MEDIUM2)

I have mixed feelings with this product. Perhaps I had high expectations based on the product composition and the lack of "bad stuff" like preservatives, parabens, talc, etc. Maybe I was just expecting too much for the price :)To give you some context, I am in my early thirties, I've some texture in my skin (pores and the odd mark here and there) and I have a combination skin that tends to dry with makeup. With that, here are my pros, cons and conclusion.Pros:- Using a small quantity, it does a good job at unifying tone and covering textured skin.- Overall it looks quite natural, which is very important for me.- It does work as a foundation and I do like the result better than other traditional cream or liquid that can be patchy.- The product feels okay on my skin. It doesn't feel heavy or invading.Cons:- For the first 30-60 minutes after application, it dries my skin and gives me a bit of a caky effect. That said, once my skin produces some oils, it looks good. This is my ever ending issue with makeup, must be said!Conclusion:Although it is not the product of my dreams, I will give it another try and hydrate my skin further before application to see if that prevents the drying and caky effect. I do like that the product seems to be free from a lot of the usual bad stuff we find in products from big companies. However, we know that the Mica industry can be a bit sneaky as it's hard to tell if it comes from a sustainable source (most times, it doesn't). I only realised this had Mica after I bough it, unfortunately.

Started using this product a few years ago now. As a woman in my 50s it was the perfect change from liquid based makeup which I found clung to my wrinkles 😳I use full range of their products from base make to blush and eye shadow.Not tested on animals which is important to my choice. A lot less expensive to other powder based makeup but just as high quality.

I was a bit sceptical seeing as it was so cheap but I really love this powder. This is the second time I've bought it. My skin looks great when I have it on and it covers blemishes and pores really well. I even think it improves my complexion! Will keep buying over and over again!

I bought the bisque concealer as my eyelids were red from allergy to pollen. I hoped a mineral product wouldn't make the allergic reaction worse and was relieved to find it didn't. I'm very pleased with it and also like the colour as it doesn't have the slight greenish tinge that it seems to have in the photo. Very good value too and I shall be buying it again.

This make up is fabulous! I'm 53 years old but my skin is still greasy. This gave me a lovely matte coverage without being cakey or settling into wrinkles. It stays on for ages too. I ordered medium beige,I'm fair with red hair but not as pale as some redheads,and this shade is perfect for me.Wonderful,Iove it,thank you Intelligent cosmetics!

Super product, light but effective, no nasties and it's SPF 15 (which I only found out by contacting the seller...they missed a selling point there!) Doesn't clog in creases, looks natural but "groomed"....all round fab!

I tried this as a replacement for Bare Minerals.. It's less expensive and I actually like it better. The color comes out less heavy, and i don't have streaks that I sometimes had if i didn't blend well enough. Nice and light and makes me look really polished. #happy :)

Hi, the product is good, the colour was too light for me so would prefer a slightly more tinted one. Great value compared to famous brands.
