Mineral/Powder Foundations

Hi everyone.
I'm not a make-up person - a bit of blusher and perhaps eye shadow if I'm feeling fancy!
I'm looking a wee bit haggered these days, though, and could do with a boost.
Years ago I used Lily Lolo powder make up. I remember liking it.
Do you have any recommendations about this sort of make up? I don't want a liquid foundation, but something I can 'brush on' where I need it. I have seen Laura Geller advertised but it seems to have very mixes reviews.
Thanks 😄

I've tried a few and I think Lily Lolo is one of the better ones so why not try them again? The best I've ever used is Miaow Cosmetics which is a small US company (so a pain because of shipping and import taxes).

@SwordBilledHummingbird Thank you. I might well do so. I don't remember it being overly expensive, and it must have suited my skin.

Try Laura Geller by ordering from QVC then you can send it back if you don’t like it.

Bare Minerals is good and quite widely available.

I use Bare Minerals. Used to use it in my twenties and have returned to it in my forties as it just looks flawless and you can build it up or have a very natural look.

I find Lily Lolo the best and also a lot cheaper than other brands.

Thanks, everyone.
I've ordered some testers from Lily Lolo.

Honestly? JML. I've tried Laura Geller and Bare Minerals and one from Beauty and the Boutique but the JML one is fab.
I found the Laura Geller one was not worth it as it seemed to create an awful lot 'dust' which was a waste.

I've just bought 2 of the Laura Geller ones, and a bronzer and i've got to admit i'm really impressed. Used to use Bare Minerals till it started settling in my lines.

I don't find that with the Laura Geller ones at all. I bought the illuminating one and the colour corrective one and they both do exactly what they say on the tin.
