Very rarely do I ever change my foundation brand or formula. For a while I had been using Urban Decay Naked Skin liquid foundation and finishing powder. It really seemed okay until I tried this. So really I had no interest in changing up my products until I was given the opportunity to try something from Mía Mariú, a brand dedicated to beauty + health going hand in hand.
I received 3 products to cover the basics. And don’t be fooled by the word basics. In order to have a great finish you have to first cover your basics + cover them well. Overdoing it on layers of makeup to color correct, cover blemishes or to just keep it from sliding off usually leads to that cakey application look. Plus it wastes product.

In order of use:
Perfecting Finish Mineral Primer |1 fl oz|$20
This primer contains lycii fruit, aloe, milk thistle extract, white tea, vitamin A + vitamin E. Sounds so unnatural to use the word primer when talking about skin care but it really does help prep my skin for applying makeup, I’m able to use less makeup for coverage + my makeup needs less touching up.
Perfecting Finish Mineral Cream Concealer | 1.9g | $16
The concealer is really thick which kind of makes sense since it comes in a pot but it applies well. I requested the shade Sambuca which is about a shade + a half lighter than the foundation I got with it. So the concealer is oil free and builds really well. I’m able to use it as under-eye concealer as well as anywhere else I may need to dab it on.
Perfecting Finish Mineral Powder Foundation | 4.3g | $19
I chose the loose powder foundation formula in Terracota. I almost went a shade lighter but since it’s Summer I opted for the darker shade which turned out to be my summer shade. In a few weeks I’ll try Tierra India as a Fall/Winter shade. This foundation gives full coverage and wears well alone, over concealer or as a setting powder over liquid formulas. What I love most is the lack of touch-ups needed.
