If you are looking for a make-up line or product that has natural ingredients that are good for the skin, provide sun protection and last almost all day, it sounds like an impossible task ! However if you know where to look– or rather who to ask, you can find the products you need. Ask Diane Ranger, the " mother of mineral makeup" , the original cosmetic chemist who helped create the genre of mineral make-ups and has presented a number of advances in the niche of mineral make-ups.
The line to check out: COLORESCIENCE, the brainchild of Diane Ranger and a culmination of a lot of research and work.
Whether you want color cosmetics, skincare or suncare, COLORESCIENCE offers products for combo, oily or dry skin, as well as acne and anti-aging skin. The range of products includes loose mineral powders, pressed compacts, and creme to powder foundation and skintreatments as well as lots of other cool color products that are so cutting edge that other brands copy what Range presents.
Listen to the blog and learn what constitutes true mineral make-up and what Colorescience is all about. Diane Ranger speaks candidly about what is– or isn’t considered mineral makeup. It’s an interesting podcast to catch and one that I would recommend taking to the ipod or mp3 machine just to have with you when you hit various beauty counters.
Here are some Colorescience products worth test-driving including my faves which I talk about in the podcast:
Sunforgettable— available in different presentations but it’s a DRY natural powder sunblock that lasts about 8 hours and is highly water resistant. I never leave home without this product in my handbag and on my face!
It also comes in a colored roller ball presentation for use on the body as well as a shaker can to apply with a brush or smooth over the body with hands. Below is the family of "Sunforgettable " products that also includes the refill for the brush too.
Other products to check out include the pressed powder compact:
Colorescience Brush Foundation.
Tare many configuration of her foundation from compact pressed to brush on to a cream to powder foundation (in a variety of pigment dense formulations that can provide lots of coverage to sheer tinted moisturizer)
The Finishing Powder comes in 3 all purpose colors to create a matte finish that will give you a more luminous look because of the color. The lavender takes care of sallow color and is often used for television and film.
There’s a great deal more to Colorescience products and Ranger has a number of new products she is releasing. Rather than me tell you all about them, I am going to have Diane back for another podcast to tell you about them herself!
See you at the beauty counter!
