Magic minerals JML

     As you may have seen on TV, JML are doing a compact powder, which is supposed to conceal correct and cover your face. So what JML are trying to do is make an affordable make up, which does the job of both a foundation and concelear. This compact foundation does not come in shades and is supposed to work for any shade of skin. Which I don't really understand, as there are a very different range of shades of skin.
When I saw this product advertised on the tv, I thought it looked great and for a reasonable price of just £9.99, I thought to myself, why not give it a try.

     When opening the compact, which the the brand name is "Jerome Alexander," who is a well known make up artist, I was curious to give it a try. This is not like a normal powder foundation, as it has different colour mineral shades within the palate. They are as follows, Pink, mint, lavender and yellow.
When first looking at this, I was a little worried, as I thought maybe that I would get patches of different colours on my face! but that wasn't the case.
So I have given the product a trial for around a month now and what I would say is, do not apply with the sponge provided. Use a normal powder brush and give your face a good few coats. This will give a natural coverage and does defiantly even out your skin tone hiding any red blemishes.
I do not think this product is magic, but it does luminate your face and makes pores look more flawless.
If a natural light-medium coverage is not your cup of tea, then this product will not be for you.
I use this product in the day time for work, which is great, as it feels light on your face and doesn't fade off though out the day.
I do also use this product if I want a heaver coverage, but usually I do my normal foundation routine, then use this just as a powder over the top. Just to give a more flawless look.
This product is not powdery, as it may look and I would say that it is defiantly not magic!
But I will continue to use this for work and to use as a powder over my make up.
Overall it is good value for the money, but do not think that the advertisement and the pictures advertised are accurate, as it is not both a foundation and concelar, it's just like other mineral foundations, except this has the different colour pigments within the palatte.

This is me with no foundation on and as you can see I have a lot of freckles, as the sun has finally made an appearance! I also have some red blemishes on my chin and red circles around my eyes.

This is me with just the magic minerals compact foundation on. This compact foundation has hidden some of my freckles and makes them look less noticeable, but you can still see them lightly. My skin tone looks more even and my face looks more radiant and awake. Also it has considerably hidden the red blemishes.
