Mineral Foundation 101
Why Your Skin Might Love Lily Lolo
Ever wish your foundation felt a little less like foundation? Meet mineral makeup! Lightweight, buildable and beautifully natural-looking, it's a great option for anyone who wants to even out their complexion without feeling like they've piled it on.
Whether you're heading to work, catching up over brunch or getting ready for a night out, Lily Lolo makes everyday makeup refreshingly simple.
What Exactly Is Mineral Makeup?
Mineral makeup uses naturally occurring minerals to create colour, coverage and different finishes. Ingredients such as mica, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and iron oxides help give mineral cosmetics their unique properties.
Loose mineral powders typically contain little or no water and can be applied in light layers, making it easy to customise your coverage. Prefer a barely-there look? Keep it light. Want a little more coverage? Simply build it up where you need it.
Why Choose Lily Lolo?
Your makeup should make getting ready easier, not turn your morning into a full-blown production!

With carefully selected ingredients and a cruelty-free approach, Lily Lolo offers makeup for those who prefer a simpler beauty routine without compromising on performance.
Meet the Minerals Behind the Magic
Mica: Helps reflect light for a fresh, natural-looking glow.
Zinc Oxide: A versatile mineral used in cosmetics, including some sunscreen formulations.
Titanium Dioxide: Helps provide opacity and coverage and can also be used as a UV filter in appropriately formulated products.
Iron Oxides: Create the pigments that help you find a foundation shade to suit your complexion.
Kaolin: A natural clay used in some formulas to help absorb excess oil and create a more matte-looking finish.
Together, these ingredients help create the colours, textures and finishes that make mineral makeup so versatile.
How to Apply Mineral Foundation
New to loose mineral foundation? Don't let the powder put you off – it's easier than you think!
1. Prep your skin. Apply your usual skincare and let it settle before applying makeup.
2. Swirl your brush. Tip a small amount of Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation into the lid, swirl your kabuki brush through it and tap away any excess.
3. Buff and build. Use gentle circular movements to buff the powder into your skin. Start with a light layer and add more where you'd like extra coverage.
4. Find your perfect shade. Not sure which colour to choose online? Lily Lolo Foundation Sample Minis let you try shades at home before committing to a full-size foundation.
Finish with your favourite blush, bronzer or lip colour, and you're ready to go!
