Try mineral bronzer for a summer glow

Tuesday, 29 May 2012 12:50 PM

It's better to fake it than to burn, so a good bronzer should be an essential part of your summer make-up kit. Natio Mineral Pressed Powder (£14.50) makes you feel like you are not wearing any make-up at all with its extra fine mineral pigments which allow the skin to breathe while creating even, luminous colour.

Natio has been producing skincare and cosmetics for 75 years. In 1993 Max and Vivienne Ross launched Natio’s beauty care range in Australia - so they know a think or two about sun - and three years later they launched their mineral colour range. "We were inspired by the belief that we could create a quality range of natural beauty products that offered exceptional value and reflected an Australian sense of beauty - relaxed, easy-going and unpretentious," they said.

Mineral make-up is ideal for skin that is dry, oily, combination, damaged or distressed, suitable for summer nights and relaxed days on the beach.
