Make-up. I've had a love-hate relationship with it since my teens. I never seemed to 'wear' it correctly! Too oily, too flat, too much, too little.
So... I stopped buying and wearing it.
But I'm 52 now. And I thought, surely, there MUST be a make-up that I could wear and not look like a clown.
I found it.
I've been hearing about Mia Mariu for several months. I read the rave reviews and wondered... Will it work for me?
A deep breath before the plunge... and here I am! A convert! I don't wear it every day. But when Mike and I go out, I just feel a bit better about my appearance now. Me. Wearing cosmetics. Who knew?
I choose two products that I knew I needed most: Foundation and Blush.
I decided on Perfecting Finish Mineral Cream Foundation in Trigo
Product Description
Oil-free mineral hydrating formula provides long wear, water resistant and luminous buildable coverage with perfectly balanced color pigments proven to meet skin tones without ash tones, opaqueness, or mask-like effect just a natural perfectly matched radiant tone. Helps improve the look of problem skin like rosacea, acne and discoloration contains Green Tea extract, Vitamin A, C and E (10g).
For my blush, I chose Mineral Blush Maria Azucena
Product Description

Mike tells me the photos don't really do me justice. I hope he's right! :)
I just don't take good pictures... *sigh*

Vanilla would be a bit light and all the rest are kinda dark so I hope it fits better than it looks because I don't really see that much of a variety for a match =( Kinda disappointed but willing to try a few. http://corporate.mymiamariu.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?prodid=103&cid=110&pid=102
