Hey, first of all Happy Dussehra !! For those not from India, Dussehra (Vijaya Dashami, Dasara, or Dashain) is a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil. One paper down, three more to go..though I have 1-2 days break in between..

Medium:

This is our most popular shade. When exposed to the sun your skin will tan very easily and in most situations you will not burn. You probably do not have skin sensitivity issues. Your neutral or warm undertones will look beautiful in our minerals!

Medium Light – Cool to Neutral Undertones
Medium – Neutral Undertones

Celebrities that best fit this shade:
Pamela Anderson
Jennifer Aniston

Tan:

Our Tan shade is for you if you have Medium/Dark, Tan, or Olive skin tones. All season long your skin will maintain at least a medium tone, but most likely will stay tan. In the summer months your skin will darken up very quickly and very easily. Most likely you will have dark brown or black hair.

Light Tan – Medium Dark Neutral Undertones
Medium Tan – Warm Golden Undertones

Celebrities that best fit this shade:
Jessica Alba
Eva Longoria
Jennifer Lopez

I have Light Tan, Fairly Tan, Medium and Medium Light in mineral powder foundations.

Though all blend with the skin and give a good match..Fairly Tan and Medium are a perfect match..Light Tan also works for contouring..

These take a few minutes to blend in with the skin..and then once set..they look super natural and stay for a good 5-6 hours even with humidity..the coverage is medium though..you can layer up for more coverage..a touch of concealer and mineral foundation on top and you would set for everyday I suppose..

These come in sifter jars and have quite a lot of product ! A little goes a long way with mineral foundations..

Here are the swatches..

From top-bottom :  Light Tan, Fairly Tan, Medium and Medium Light

Sheer Perfection Mineral Finish – Translucent: A super luxurious powder that will perfect your look. It is the final touch that will make your skin exceptional. Your face will feel as soft as silk, and look even better. Go crazy with this finishing powder! You’ll love it!

This is the setting cum finishing powder..its super soft..and actually feels smooth as silk..though this is white..so one needs to be careful with the quantity..so that you don’t get a whitish cast..but it sure does keep oil and shine at bay..one of the ingredients being rice powder !

Warm Kiss Mineral Bronzer: Everyone’s favorite! Soft, sheer, subtle sunkissed glow. Create the illusion of radiant, sun-kissed skin! Use as a healthy looking complexion booster, blush, cheek contour, eye shadow or lip color. Our Sheer Mineral Enhancers are light, natural and are perfect for color adjustments to your foundation.

This is the best bronzer I have come across ! A very natural looking terracotta rosy brown with some pearlescent shimmer..which is hardly visible..this would look gorgeous both as a blush and bronzer..and would give that softest sun kissed look possible !

This is a lot of quantity and would last super long..its quite pigmented..and like all mineral powders, the staying power is awesome too..

Here are the swatches..

These mineral foundations come with a slender kabuki brush..it is so super soft and dense..perfect to carry along..I have washed it 1-2 times and it did not shed much hair except 1-2..I love how soft it is..and picks up the perfect amount..
