Dusty Girls Natural Mineral Foundation

I like to keep my makeup as natural as possible.  The truth is I've really only just started wearing it..most likely because I had a bit of a freak out when I turned 40 this year (...eekk!) and decided that perhaps I better make an effort to look nice for my husband who is 12 years younger.  Dusty Girls is made by Moo Goo, the skincare brand, who have only fairly recently branched out into makeup.  I reviewed some of their other products I own here, with one of them being the 'Earth Cream', which is a tinted moisturiser that I absolutely love.  It gives you just a light coverage and evens out your skin tone.  I have been finding lately, however, that with the warmer weather I've been looking a little shiny, so I decided I needed a powder.  This is where their Natural Mineral Foundation stepped in.

Normally I'm a bit wary of a powder because it isn't so good on the old crow's feet.  Ok, so mine aren't really crow's, they're more like sparrow's feet...but yes, there's some lines coming in there under the eyes (all that time working outdoors on farms me thinks!)...but powder and lines don't mix so well.  My solution is to simply avoid the eye area and work the powder into my cheeks and forehead with a kabuki brush.  I have a lovely one from The Body Shop which hasn't had a workout for a while so it's good to give it some exercise. 

 

So far I'm finding that this foundation is doing the trick in reducing the shine, and it will last me ages because I'm only using the tiniest bit.  Dusty Girls is conscious of using natural ingredients and it also has an SPF15, which is really important in Australia.  I got the 'Fair Minerals with Pink Sunrise Tones' and I highly recommend it.
