There are so many different brands of mineral makeups out in the marketplace, and I have tried many of them. Some feel better on your skin than others, some provide you with more coverage than others, and I feel it is a matter of personal preference deciding which brands you like most. I know which mineral makeups I would use again, and the brands I would not choose to use again, and based on my recent experience using Raw Natural Beauty's RAW Minerals it is the best of the best when it comes to the mineral makeups I have used to date.
RAW Minerals is not only a beautiful way to give your skin a smooth, silky, flawless "look", but it is also "good" and healthy for your skin. If you want to treat yourself to some new makeup and really kick off your Holiday Season with gorgeous looking skin, then perhaps you want to consider trying RAW Minerals. Or how about starting the New Year off with a new beauty routine? At the end of my review look for the exclusive 50% off Code where you can purchase the RAW Minerals 7-Piece Discovery Kit for half price!! Let me introduce RAW Minerals to you!
THE FOUNDER AND CREATOR OF RAW NATURAL BEAUTY
Christina Marcaccini is the Creator and Founder of Raw Natural Beauty. After working for more than 10 years as a product developer for several large cosmetic companies, she saw first-hand the widespread use of potentially harmful chemicals in beauty products. She grew frustrated by the industry's unwillingness to invest in safer, more natural ingredients and she grew painfully aware that most natural brands on the market did not perform well.
She knew there were millions of women, like herself, who wanted a better, smarter, choice for their skin and their health. That's when she decided to create RAW Natural Beauty to offer women a high-performance line of purely natural makeup and skincare.
She spent nearly three years searching the world for the most innovative natural ingredients that deliver superior performance. In addition to being free of parabens, harsh chemicals, and artificial colorants, all RAW Natural Beauty products are enriched with exclusive active botanicals that actively nourish, protect and defy the signs of aging.
BEAUTY THAT RESTORES
At the heart of all RAW Natural Beauty products are active botanicals, pure plant extracts that help to fight wrinkles, revitalize firmness, enhance natural radiance, and restore your skin's natural beauty from the outside in.
BEAUTY THAT IS NATURAL

REVIEW: RAW Minerals Discovery Kit
I was sent the fabulous RAW Minerals 7-Piece Discovery Kit to review. I had heard a lot about RAW Minerals before, very positive buzz, but had never had a hands on chance to experiment with the products and use them on myself. (RAW Minerals has been featured in all the hottest magazines such as Allure, Lucky, Self, Women's Health, just to name a few) You bet I was in for a real royal treat!! When I was contacted about doing the review I was asked to provide them with the color kit I wanted to review. So based on the website and what shades I normally select for myself to wear, I asked for them to send me the "Medium" tone RAW Minerals Discovery Kit.
Although I normally consider my skin tone more "medium" in color, and I tried to follow the instructions on the RAW Minerals website to assist me in making sure I selected the correct shade, I did find when I received my RAW Minerals Discovery Kit that the Medium shades were a tad bit too dark for me. So, if ordering, please keep this in mind! I contacted the RAW Minerals Rep and she quickly sent me the "Light" foundation duo and those lighter shades worked out just perfectly for my skin tone.Anyone can use the RAW Minerals 7-Piece Discovery Kit, no matter what your complexion or skin type is:

I also received the RAW Minerals Discovery Kit Instructional DVD that helped to guide me through the process of each product and brushes I received. The website more than adequately teaches you, but the extra addition of the DVD really helped me to achieve the looks I wanted with these products with little effort, in 3 Quick and Easy Steps. Here they are:
Begin with cleansed, moisturized skin. Allow moisturizer to fully absorb before applying mineral foundation.
Pour a small amount of foundation from the jar into the lid.
Touch your Maximum Coverage Foundation brush to the minerals and swirl it around until the brush "takes up" the minerals.
Tap off excess.
Blend over your face by moving the brush in a circular motion around the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead and anywhere you desire flawless coverage.
If you prefer more coverage, continue to apply foundation as needed.
Pour a small amount of Mineral Glow from the jar into the lid. Remember, a little goes a long way!
Touch your Retractable brush to the powder and swirl it around until the brush “takes up” the minerals.
Tap off excess.
Lightly dust it all over your face or just sweep a bit over your nose, cheeks, chin and décolletage for a light, alluring glow.
Pour a small amount of Active Veil from the jar into the lid.
Touch your Foundation brush to the powder and swirl it around until the brush “takes up” the minerals.
Tap off excess.
Apply lightly to the entire face and neck to set foundation in place.

I am not gifted with perfect skin or anywhere near a flawless complexion. I developed a mild to moderate case of Rosacea a few years ago. Some days my skin is a little ruddy, and other days it is worse and I even have breakouts over the ruddiness so it is a condition I struggle with everyday. I am always striving to achieve healthy skin, that will one day make me smile when I look in the mirror. Until that day comes, I depend on good cosmetics to work their magic on covering up my imperfections naturally. By naturally I mean it in two ways, naturally in terms of ingredients in the products and naturally by which you can't tell I am wearing much makeup at all. I want to make sure the makeup I use on my face will not irritate my skin any more than it already is, and will perhaps even help to heal it. I also want a natural, silky look to my skin. RAW Minerals foundations did indeed help me to achieve all of this and more. It gave me back some of the confidence I had lost.
What I love most about this 7-piece kit is that it is very quick to apply, it took me less than 5 minutes to complete my makeup application and I love that it is easy, truly a no-brainer, to use. Although you are provided with a fantastic instructional DVD which I highly recommend you view at least once before you use the kit, you really don't need it if you study the instructions on the website prior to using it. You do not need to be good at applying makeup to achieve success with these products. But, you will end up with a lovely, professional looking makeup "look" that will make you feel so good about yourself and the way you look.
You can layer the foundation to achieve a thicker coverage by applying a few different applications to your skin. For those who may want to cover a scar or acne on their skin you can really cover literally anything, but I found just one layer of foundation was enough to cover my rosacea adequately which was to me a sign of an amazing product at work.
I love the Active Veil because it completed the flawless look for you. Once I was done applying it I took the retractable brush, swished it around in a little more of the active veil, and put the top on the brush and threw it in my purse. That way when I was away from the house and wanted to freshen up my skin, I had it ready to just sweep across my face for a quick touch up during the day. How handy I found that to be!
On those mornings where you feel you look a little peaked and pale, just a light sweep of the Mineral Glow on the apples of your cheeks will perk your skin right up and bring that ever so slight sun kissed glow to your skin. I can't wait to use this throughout the holidays to keep me looking fresh and alive!!
Overall, I am super impressed with the results I experienced using this entire kit and I know these are products I will want to continue to keep in my daily beauty arsenal. I am so excited to share my thoughts with you and hope if you decide to give this 7-Piece Kit a try you have a chance to feel the same way!
