FACE IT
Lush makes foundation; we freak out.
To those who love the great outdoors, “lush” describes abundance in foliage. To those who’ve stayed up late in British pubs, “lush” is the sloppy drunk girl who’s never satisfied. But to beauty junkies like us, Lush is the queen of all-natural handmade skincare and soaps.
Up until recently (aside from a few lip balms), the brand’s steered clear of the makeup world, holding court in our shower. Thankfully they’ve stepped out their comfort zone, now entering the trendy land of vegan makeup.
Kicking off with a range of “color supplements” (aka blend-able foundations), the products come sans mineral oil (a skin-irritator found in most cover-ups). Made from fresh rose oil infusions and soya oil, the four varying foundations promise to soothe redness and keep your skin from drying out.
Our first reaction (after conducting the official blend-a-dab-on-the-front-of-my-hand-test): it’s light, non-cakey, and magically manages to conceal using only a trace of product. Our only wish? Lush should keep on the makeup brigade.

Finding a good vegan foundation thats not poweder is really hard for me, I can't wait to try this! Lush makes awesome things, and I definitely agree that they should "keep on the makeup brigade."

No worries! Lush has got a light one too. I'm quite fair and I love my colour supplement :) If you do try them, go for light pink! http://www.lush.ca/shop/products/face/colour-supplements/light-pink

I have very pale/pink skin and the light pink supplement works awesome! If you have pale/ivory skin, you would want the light yellow one. Keep in mind that you mix it with your moisurizer, so you can tint it as dark or light as you need! There is a video on Lush's site showing how to mix it, using the back of your hand as a palette.

Love this product!! It's super blendable, covers well and doesn't feel cakey at all. I'm using the light yellow right now and it's great. Also, if you want lighter coverage you can add it to your moisturizer and do the tinted moisturizer thing.
