    hi summer, I have used / tried quite a few different brands....I used to work in a pharmacy , so used to be able to try everything!
    anyway, loreal mineral powder is really good coverage, but not necessarily "natural" in that it still contains alot of nasties. but the brush it come with is excellent.
    revlon is the same, colours arent that good and the coverage isnt great. the brush it comes with is useless.

    natio is better with less of the nasty stuff, good coverage, not a huge colour variation. the mineral blush is my fave in rose. they also do eyeshadows and a bronzer. (have to buy makeup brush separate.

    The one I am using at the moment is called "nude" I bought it from the chemist up the road, fantastic coverage, no nasties (pure minerals, no talcs etc) doesnt feel dry on, can easily build up coverage if needed, comes in light , med, or dark , also do a bronzer and a finishing powder, have to buy the brush separately, but I still use my loreal one!

    Just signing up to this thread- I've been wondering recently about mineral make-up and whether its actually worth it or not. I hate the idea of putting gunk on my face that is absorbed, but I'm not sure what is good in mineral make up and what isn't. Will be interested to see....

    Yep I am subscribing to this one too. I have used Mineral makeup in the past and love it. I dont like wearing heavy makeup so mineral makeup is great. I am yet to find one that is really good. My friend uses ID Mineral makeup and it looks amazing she is going to bring it over for me to try next time she visits so I will try and remember to let you know.

    I've been using the Nude mineral make up as well - bought it at Myer for about $40.
    I love it. I don't like putting the creamy foundations on - especially in Summer when it slides off straight away - but this powder is really light on my skin. I find it gives good coverage.

    I use a mineral makeup foundation from a company called Pur Minerals (google them). Its a natural mineral makeup, concealer, powder and SPF 15 protection all in one. I love it, for the ease in use of it. I havent tried any of their other products....yet.
