For the days you can’t be bothered to apply your traditional liquid foundation, a pressed mineral one is your best bet. Trust me on this. I’ve had my share of lazy days where I’m just not in the mood to go all out with my makeup routine. If I could I’d just leave the house barefaced, however that look in public may scare a few children here and there – which is why I’m ever so grateful for the Pressed Mineral Foundation by CoverFX. It gives me the right amount of coverage to help keep me from looking zombie-like, with the added factor that it’s one hundred percent fuss-free. Some days I’ll take a big fluffy makeup brush and sweep it all over my face, while other days I’ll use the makeup sponge included in the compact to just dab the product on problem areas.

What’s phenomenal about this product is that it’s available in a whopping 24 global shades (to find your colour, take their shade quiz) to suit women of all colours and tones. For the health-freaks out there (yes, we’re looking at you) the Pressed Mineral Foundation is made without the ‘Inflammatory Five’: gluten, mineral oil, fragrance, parabens or talc. This means it’s also great for those with sensitive skin (like myself). This foundation leaves your skin with a silky, soft matte finish that never cakes thanks to its incredible oil-absorbing microspheres and moisturizing benefits.

Fuss-free, for the health conscious, and providing great coverage, you really can’t go wrong with this baby.

The CoverFX Pressed Mineral Foundation is available online for $35.
