A Review: Aero Minerale Makeup Mist


My colour: Bare, price $19.99 CAD at select Lawton's Drugs also available at: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=aero+minerale&x=0&y=0

Claims: According to the Aero Minerale website, "Everything you love about minerals plus the moisture that you want. For true aerobrush application mist directly onto skin. For classic coverage apply with brush, sponge or finger."

Actual Experience: This is the only foundation that I have found to date (and I've probably spent hundreds over the years trying different ones) that will stay on my oily t-zone for the entire day. The finish is skin like. The product is thin (almost watery in consistency) but has excellent coverage. There are ten different colours to chose from in the line. They come in both cool and warm undertones so pretty much everyone will find a match. The best method that I have found for application is to spray a little foundation onto the top of the cap and use a couple of fingers to gently press the product into the skin. I have also tried using a brush (product dries too fast, and you tend to put on too much), and spraying directly on the face (very messy and you also tend to put on too much). If you apply the product too heavily it will feel sticky. Tip: If you decide to try and use the spray on method, then make sure to use a shower cap or an old towel to wrap your hair. If you don't it will get stuck in your hairline and you will have to shampoo to get it out.

Buy or Avoid: Buy. Especially if you have combination oily or oily skin. It is still much cheaper than most department store foundations. For reference I am on my second one.


This product was bought with my own money
