sofeminine.co.uk Reviews Afterglow Foundation










Hot on the heels of all things natural and organic, mineral make-up is everywhere at the moment, but look before you leap on the bandwagon. Not all mineral products are any better for your skin than 'standard' make-up. Many contain parabens, dyes and fillers, along with a chemical called bismuth oxychloride which can give a rather unatural orangey glow. Our current fave for quality mineral make-up is US brand Afterglow. Their organic mineral foundation contains pharmaceutical grade minerals and pigments, natural sunscreen and age-defying antioxidants. A worthy investment, especially if you have super-sensitive skin. It's even suitable for people with gluten sensitivity.Afterglow Organic Mineral Foundation, £28 (20 shades)

Dollface Reviews: Afterglow Cosmetics Organic Mineral Foundation



Hey, Dollface!
Afterglow Cosmetics’ Organic Mineral Foundation is 100% natural, contains a natural sunscreen, and it suitable for even the most sensitive of skin. Sadly, the trial tub was the wrong shade for my porcelain (ahem!) skin, so I handed it over to Norma of Keeping It Realtor (who does have sensitive skin), who writes:“I’ve never really been much of a foundation wearer. I hate the feeling of heavy makeup on my skin, so tinted moisturiser normally suits me fine. As someone with, ahem, more mature skin, I also prefer a “dewy” look, rather than a powdery one, which I think can be very aging, so, when I tried Afterglow Cosmetics Organic Mineral Foundation, I have to admit, I didn’t really expect to like it. Well, it just goes to show that it’s always worthwhile trying out something different every once in a while, because this was nothing like I’d imagined it…For a start, this foundation is as light as a feather on your skin - probably not surprising, given that it’s a powder, but as I mentioned, I had expected to feel like I was caked in makeup, and that wasn’t the case at all. I brushed it on (a proper kabuki brush would’ve been a good idea here, but I didn’t have one, so used the biggest brush I had), buffed it in, and was really surprised by the coverage, which was sheer, matt, and not at all chalky, which is what I’d worried about.As for the fine lines - my daughter has always hated mineral makeup because she finds it emphasizes any lines she has, but this wasn’t the case for me. I couldn’t say it made me look younger (but of course, it doesn’t claim to), but it definitely didn’t emphasize the lines, and just left my skin looking smooth and even - I really didn’t feel like I was wearing it at all.Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by this. Will I give up my tinted moisturiser for it? Well, maybe not all the time, but I will definitely be alternating it with this one now!

SmartSkincare.com Reviews Afterglow Multi-Tasking Foundation


Skin Care Review: Afterglow Cosmetics Multi-Tasking Foundation

by Kris

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
all natural (no bismuth oxide or parabens), amazing coverage, beautiful color

Drawbacks
a tad messy as a powder

Details
All natural, this mineral makeup is absolutely amazing! Geat color selection, very easy to apply, looks amazing, has improved my skin, good for oil control, wears all day, i've even found it's semi waterproof which is great during the summer, contains an SPF as well! I will never go back to regular liquid foundation bc. it didn't work, didn't cover, made my skin worse and was more expensive.

Afterglow Cosmetics Multi-Tasking Foundation is a dream come true. It's AMAZING. I only wish I had found it years ago and saved myself, my skin and my wallet the heartache of those inferior foundations!

Conclusions
Buy it NOW. You will not regret it! guarantee :)

Kiss N Makeup Reviews Afterglow Organic Mineral Eyeshadow



Now we all know mineral makeup is uber big this year, but when people think of minerals they tend to think of foundation, yet there’s so much more than that available. Using mineral eyeshadow can be less irritating to the sensitive eye area, and the loose powder formulation creates a really gentle wash of colour. I’ve been testing out mineral eyeshadows £16 from AfterGlow Cosmetics and really love the consistency on my skin. The product is certified organic the Environmental Working Group and is really gentle on my eyes. I wear contact lenses and there’s no discomfort with this product at all. The eyeshadows are bismuth oxychloride free, talc-free, chemical-free and dye-free, and come in an amazing selection of colours.
