YB Cosmetics Lunar Dust reminds me of MAC’s Iridescent Powder in Golden Bronze, except it is a lot silkier. I fell in-love with this.

Good luck!
Besides using MAC’s Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, I have very little experience with mineral foundations & products. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try a selection of Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics (thanks Melissa!), and to be honest with you, they have some great stuff!
The products that I tested for my review include: the Mineral Cosmetics Basics Kit in Dark (see description below), the lunar dust in Dusk, and their lip gloss in Coy. (CLICK HERE to see the video)
I started with my Makeup For Ever All Mat primer. YB Cosmetics does have a mineral primer; however, I do not have it, so I had to make do with what I had available. I ended up mixing the Hazelnut & Coffee mineral foundations together in order to obtain the perfect match for my skintone.
I used the Kabuki Blending Brush to buff the foundation into my skin; it blended so well, it practically disappeared into my skin! This is what a foundation should do; you shouldn’t see any lines. This foundation provided me with great coverage as well without using a concealer. I like that you can also build the up the coverage to your needs, and it doesn’t look cakey/powdery. Another thing I loved about this product is how it felt. You don’t feel like you’re wearing anything, and my skin felt as soft as a baby’s bottom.
This is what Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics had to say about their foundation:
” This incredibly unique silky powder is a foundation, concealer and powder all in one! It offers exceptional, high performance coverage, is easy to use and is non-comedogenic. The mineral foundation glides on all skin types beautifully to give natural, healthy coverage and a translucent glow. Available in our sleek, exclusively designed container with controlled distribution. With a tap of a finger, no more mess, no more waste …it is the hottest trend in makeup on the market today!”
After the foundation was applied, I applied Lunar Dust in Dusk as a highlighter using my fan brush. Then, I applied YB Cosmetics’ Mineral Blush in Cabernet. Both products mixed together gave me a nice, warm, healthy, summer, bronzy glow that I loved. I actually said to myself while looking in the mirror, ‘Wow, I like this. I really like this.’ The blush & dust blend seamlessly with the foundation.
I love lip gloss. I actually wear it more than lipstick. I hate when glosses are too sticky or have a bad taste. Youngblood’s gloss doesn’t feel sticky, and doesn’t have a horrid smell or taste. My only complaint is that it doesn’t last as long as my other glosses.
