As many of you already know, I am a huge fan of mineral makeup. In fact, it is all that I wear. I can’t stand the heavy feeling of liquid foundations and the brands that I have tried have all made my face break out. I was excited to be contacted by Raw Minerals to do a review of their discovery kit.

The Raw Minerals Discovery Kit is made up of two shades of mineral foundation, active  veil, mineral glow, a maximum coverage foundation brush, concealer brush and multi-tasking retractable brush an instructional booklet and an instructional DVD. There are 8 shades of mineral foundation and 4 duos.

Why do you receive 2 foundation shades? Our Color Match Technology guarantees that all skin tones get a true color match. We do this by giving you 2 foundation shades – one light, one darker. These duos are easy to blend, making it easy for you to find your perfect match every time. So, even if your skin tone changes with the seasons, you can easily adjust your RAWMinerals to match.

More about the makeup included in the Discovery Kit:

Mineral Foundation

• Features buildable coverage that gives skin a natural color while hiding imperfections such as dark spots, redness and acne.
• Illuminating pigments that add radiance while they help to reflect light away from skin imperfections
• Innovative, revitalizing active botanicals deliver skin-enhancing ingredients that help firm and improve the condition of skin over time
• Light-weight, hydrating formulas that won’t cake or settle into fine lines or pores

Active Veil

Active Veil is the final touch to achieving a beautiful, flawless finish. Combining Active Botanicals and broad-spectrum SPF protection, Active Veil was designed to be worn over Active Mineral Foundations to diffuse light and give your skin a smooth, soft glow as though it had been airbrushed. The sheer, translucent minerals help foundation set and stay in place for an even, finished look that lasts all day.

• Natural antioxidants protect skin against free radical damage
• Balances skin tone and visibly improves skin texture for a perfect finish

Mineral Glow

The light-as-air, bronze-toned minerals impart a natural incandescence to skin while subtly obscuring the appearance of imperfections and creating the illusion of a flawless, warm complexion. Sweep a bit over your nose, cheeks, chin and décolletage for an alluring, sun-kissed glow. The pure mineral formula is perfect for all skin types.

• Gives complexion a boost for an instant sun-kissed, healthy glow
• Energizes skin and promotes natural radiance
• Helps control the effects of skin oil for a shine-free, silky finish
• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
• Improves smoothness and elasticity

My Review

I received the light duo to review. I used the mineral foundation all over my face as instructed in the DVD that came with the kit. After using the foundation I used the mineral glow on my cheeks and the bridge of my nose. I then dusted my entire face with the active veil for that air-brushed look.

I LOVE the way this mineral makeup feels on my skin. It feels so light it is like you aren’t even wearing makeup. I also love the way it makes my skin look; natural and healthy without being cake-y or shiny. This mineral makeup is so easy to apply and it lasts! I put this makeup on in the morning and it stayed on all day. We were even outside in the cold and wind at the pumpkin farm  and it still looked flawless when I got back home.

Here are my before and after pictures (my camera isn’t that great but I think you can see the difference).

The Discovery Kit retails for $180. But right now Raw Minerals is offering my readers a 50% discount on the kit plus free shipping. Simply go to Raw Minerals and enter
