Sneaky peek: it’s only grate! New mineral foundation from Elizabeth Arden

It's a foundation with a built-in grater - so the make up you apply is fresh every single time. The minerals aren't already ground into powder as they are with other mineral foundations.

It just takes a twist of this generously chunky compact to grate enough pure mineral foundation to make you up to perfection. There’s no mess - the grater only dispenses a tiny amount of powder every time.

The problem found with many mineral foundations is that there’s just not enough coverage. People want to feel secure that it’s covering up any uneven tones or possible, er, imperfections. This mineral makeup impress instantly with great coverage - in fact it easily covered up a rather nasty blemish. 

Although mineral makeup is really best suited to oily or combo skin this is a good one to try if you’ve got drier or sensitive skin.  

Pure Finish Mineral Powder foundation (€30) will be available from Boots and department stores from Feb 2009.
