Mineral make-up, as discussed by Lucire’s beauty columnist Nicole McKinnon as being the hot new trend back in 2006, has continued to be a staple, especially on the catwalk at Air New Zealand Fashion Week. At Verge, Nikki Lovrich, head make-up artist for the Jane Iredale team at the Verge show, gave the models a high-glamour look ‘with deep smoky eyes and subtle barely there lips,’ according the company.
Mineral make-up’s advantage is providing coverage but allowing the skin to breathe.
