Sephora Mineral Foundation Compact

Sephora's mineral foundation compact offers users a smooth matte finish to an every day look. This compact, whilst not the most streamlined on the market offers up a pan of product and a mirror like every other brand, but the applicator sponge included in this compact has a two sided approach to makeup application. The light lull side is intended to be used to provide everyday light coverage of the product to your face, where as the black side is designed to apply a thicker layer of the powder to allow for a fuller coverage of the face. I have personally found that the light coverage side of the sponge is more than adequate as it alone has a tenancy to apply quite a bit of the product as is.
This product can't really be built, but unlike other powders, this product goes on smooth and evenly the first time if you use the provided sponge. However if you try to use this product with a brush, it doesn't go down too well, not only does the product not seem to even want to get on any of the brushes I tried to use, once you manage to get a decent amount on, the amount of fallout from the packaging is unbelievable, so brushes definitely aren't this products best friend.

Sephora Mineral Foundation Compact

After a full days wear, even with a base liquid foundation or a primer, this powder does get a touch patchy so if your heading out for a ling day, try sealing it with some setting powder or a sealing spray like Urban Decays All-nighter spray or for a cheaper option in Australia Australis make a similar setting spray product, although personally, I would choose the Urban Decay one if you can get your hands on it.

Availability: Avaliable in most Sephora stores and online, although I haven't been able to find this product online lately which is a bit of a shame as it is a favourite staple of mine, from memory it cost somewhere between $20 and $30?
Weight: 10g (0.35oz)
Colour range: This product follows with Sephora's standard skin tone colour scheme so that means there is quite a reasonable range, and matching concealer and other products can be bought with ease from the Sephora range.
Coverage: Anywhere from full to light depending on which side of the sponge you use and how heavy handed you are.
