Having worked with exotic beauties on the international landscape, I found that all women are seeking the same qualities when it comes to makeup; high-performance, low maintenance, easy-to-apply products. Finally after years of searching for a product line, it took a man - (my brother!) - to introduce me to what I believe to be the best on the market today.

Mineral makeup, made up of thousands of years of earth-made materials is free of chemicals, dyes, fragrance and are the purest color product you can apply to your skin. It is a natural anti-inflammatory, which makes it ideal for acne or sensitive skin types, including Rosacea. It also means that it keeps the surface of the skin cool, a plus if you are experiencing hot flashes. Being inorganic in nature, it cannot be absorbed into the skin, so it will not clog the pores. It contains no moisture, which results in it being anti-microbial and will not harbor bacteria. In addition, it offers the most stable form of sun protection available, with each product rated at least an SPF 20.

Since its inception back in the late 70's, several companies have arrived on the market with mineral makeup and I have done extensive research on most of them. I came to the conclusion that I only wanted to represent the best and that is Colorescience. The owner of this company, Diane Ranger, is the same woman who coined the term mineral makeup and put mineral makeup on the map with her first brainchild, Bare Escentuals. Since then, there have been several imitators, but the one true brand is Colorescience.

On the Skintopia website, you will find the CORE of Colorescience, the award winning products that are user friendly and provide a skin perfecting complexion. I have also worked with Colorescience Makeup Artists to create a few custom makeup looks that translate the world over. Each of the makeup looks represent a lifestyle, a mood, a feeling...and each of the looks can be yours. I have listed all of the products that you will need to recreate the very same looks at home.
