Raffaele Winner

We continue our love affair with mineral makeup. We found this kit at Sephora, where the entire line was half-off. We’re always looking for the perfect powder in brush and this, at half price, is about the price of one of these. This one is made of 100% cashmere-soft, cruelty free goat hair and also features these great little capsules that you can put on and off and store separately because they have screw on tops.

Flawless Skin Essentials Starter Kit

Because every great face begins with great looking skin, makeup artist Alison Raffaele has created The Flawless Skin Essentials Starter Kit. Perfect for today’s “woman-on-the go”, this kit combines two shades of Alison’s critically acclaimed True Concealer, two shades of her unique Mineral Powder and the appropriate “Travel Friendly” tools to apply them quickly and easily. Also included is a booklet containing Alison’s clear, easy-to-follow, expert advice on how to create a beautiful complexion like a pro.

Available in Light (Skintones 1 and 2), Medium (Skintones 3 and 4), and Dark (Skintones 5 and 6), The Flawless Skin Essentials Kit will perfect and even out your complexion while still letting your skin’s own natural beauty shine through. A must have.

TRUE CONCEALER
True Concealer is a lightweight liquid concealer that blends easily and provides natural-looking full coverage anywhere on the face or body.

Suitable for all skin types, this Mineral Oil and Fragrance Free formula is safe for use on both acne prone and sensitive skin, and its micronized pigments will not settle into fine lines. True Concealer also contains Vitamins A-C-E for their anti-oxidant properties, Aloe to calm and soothe the skin, and Sodium Hyaluronate to hydrate the skin and encourage cell regeneration.

Available in 7 Skintones from very fair to deep, because of its opacity, it is best to choose a Skintone of True Concealer that most closely matches your present skintone and not to go one shade lighter. However, for very red blemishes you may go one shade deeper to help neutralize the excess redness.

To apply, use a concealer brush, a makeup sponge, or your fingers – whatever works best for you. Lastly, setting your True Concealer with a loose setting powder, such as Transparent Finish, will greatly extend its wear time.

MINERAL POWDER
Our Mineral Powder offers a sheer, natural looking matte coverage that evens out the skintone and blurs minor imperfections. As it is suitable for all skin types and virtually weightless on the skin, Mineral Powder is the perfect alternative for those who do not like the feel of a heavy liquid foundation or powder. (For the most flawless look, True Concealer may be applied under your Mineral Powder to cover any blemishes, discolorations, and/or under eye circles.)

The Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide in this exclusive formula naturally offer numerous skin care benefits: they help calm and soothe irritated skin, they help to balance out excess oil production, and they provide natural protection against UVA/UVB rays. Unlike many other mineral powders, Skin Alison Raffaele Mineral Powder does not contain Bismuth Oxychloride, which creates an unnaturally shiny finish and can be a potential allergen.

Mineral Powder is available in 7 Skintones, from very fair to deep, and is 100% Oil, Fragrance, Dye, and Talc Free. To apply, simply sweep on with a large powder brush, such as our Kabuki Powder Brush, or a velour powder puff. And for the most natural looking bronzer ever, just use a shade 2 skintones deeper than your natural skintone.
