Perhaps someone at Mintel had a light build moment and made them aware of the growth in the so called "ethnic" population.
Selecting The Colour Tone For You:
Recent research by the BBC indicates that there are nearly 2 million people of mixed heritage living in the UK today.
Coverage: Mineral foundation provides sheer, medium to full coverage. Mineral pigments lay ever so lightly on top of the skin without settling on fine lines and wrinkles. It effortlessly buffs and blends onto the skin creating a velvety smooth finish that looks exactly like your skin but better.
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.
The skin undertone (commonly shortened to "skin tone") is not your actual skin colour. It is the tint beneath the top layer of the skin, which basically determines if a person's skin is warm, cool or neutral:
So I turned to Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Iman and YSL albeit they have have a superb range of colours for darker skin tones I was a tad disappointed by the ashy-look foundations.
COOL UNDERTONES are characterised by pink, red and blue tints on the skin.
Ideal brush to use with mineral foundation? A Kabuki brush. This earth-friendly brush feels very soft to touch and really holds mineral makeup well. It blends and buffs mineral foundation seamlessly for that airbrushed look and feel.
The rule of the thumb is the more dense the brush you use, the better the coverage. If you have blemishes to conceal, you may use a sponge to get a fuller coverage.
In 2009 the Dominican Republic's Arlenis Sosa became the face of Lancome, then Beyonce followed by being the face of L'Oreal, in the Spring of 2011, Britain's own Jourdan Dunn was the face of YSL's Touche Eclat.
VEIN METHOD: Look at the veins on the underside of your arm or wrist under natural light. If your veins are green with a yellowish hue on the skin, you are warm toned. If your veins appear to be blue with a pinkish hue on the skin, you are cool toned. If you can't exactly tell whether your veins are blue or green, you are most probably neutral or a combination of both.
Buff the product going towards the jawline, neckline and dcolletage. Blend in another light layer all over the face for additional coverage. Rest assured that you will find the application simpler and easier with continuous use.
On the other hand, if the silver accessory makes you radiate, it signifies you are cool toned. If both accessories look good on you, chances are you are neutral toned.
