On the hunt for something less drying than mineral powder for the winter time for my dry skin. I have found several brands if anyone has info on them. My color for reference would be Lancome Buff.
Lauren Brookes cream foundation- looks really good and has no ingredients that may bother my sensitive dry skin. It doesnt say if they ship international. They also removed titanium from their loose minerals because of respiratory health concerns but replaced it with zinc oxide which seems well meaning but naive as it is pretty similar anyways. The concern should be the application as it could just be the fact breathing in a powder daily is not good in general when it's not meant to go inside the body. You can get around it by used pressed powder or using a sponge to pat onto the face. Otherwise I never heard of this brand.
Monave Mousse, Cream or Liquid foundation- seems pretty decent except the cream contains borax which has irritated my face when in other products but the formulas seem very good and my face will tolerate it. I just could not find a color match in the loose and I am not crazy about the handling charge on top of shipping nor am I sure I can find a match in the non loose products.
Mad MInerals liquid foundation- I tried the liquid but it W1 was too light so I might try W3. The price is good but I could not get it to blend well. I shall try again as the price is very good and I always had great service from them.
Aubrey NIcole and Emani also have liquids too. Getting tired so I will add more later on what I found.
