Momentous, shifts in foundation shades are afoot and about time too! I'm not trying to be sarcastic but someone has finally informed the cosmetic industry that there are Black people in Britain who wear makeup.

Perhaps someone at Mintel had a light build moment and made them aware of the growth in the so called "ethnic" population.
Mineral Foundation versus Liquid or Cream Foundation: Most liquid and cream foundations have preservatives, dyes, synthetic fragrances and oils that can be harsh or unforgiving to the skin.
Recent research by the BBC indicates that there are nearly 2 million people of mixed heritage living in the UK today.
Assessing the closest skin tone will help you narrow down the search for the perfect foundation shade.
However, it was extremely expensive, lacked in variety and filled to the brim with synthetics chemicals and fillers.
Organic Andiroba Oil - recommended for dry skin types as well as those with eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis and age spots.
What I needed was a powder foundation with natural ingredients and zinc (a well know acne "sorter-outer" - wound healer)
