The best way to brighten up a winter day is go out for a brisk power walk get the blood flowing if you just sit about then your skin becomes tried and tired and even in winter you still get vitamin D from the sun even when cloudy so thats my tip but on saying that any good make-up that helps does wonders if you look good you feel good and i would like to try this mineral make up as i have heard they do not sit in your wrinkles as much now i have put a photo up of myself with no make up so you can see my lines i did not show the other side because i have small acid burns and mineral make up is supposed to hide quite a lot so i would be interested to see if it works thanks Jackie

PPLLEEAASSEE HELP, i'm a 36 year old woman that looks 96, i desperately need help with the dull skin and dark circles, the word zombie springs to mind but thats putting it mildly. the foundation and blusher i am currently using is NOT helping, i may as well of just bought a face painting kit, maybe your miracle, mineral make-up will help. there's only one way i can find out.

I would love to try these products! In winter, I have to resort to pinching my cheeks to get some colour in them, so I don't look like a patchy zombie.

I would love some brightening up at the moment " teenager troubles". I am also on the look out for a new foundation that i like,  as i just cant seem to find one that  makes me look younger like they say they do. Most of the time i find they make me old older Boohoo!!!.

I have been searching for a good bronzing powder & loose powder which work for me for a long time, most bronzers i have tried either turn out too orange or are far too shimmery and make me look like a teenager.  The loose powder I have at the minute is rubbish, it clings to my face and is so hard to shift once on and then makes my face look all dusty and chalk like - ruining my expensive liquid foundation i've just put on.  So trialing these would be sooo ideal as its another product to try out! Fab!

I have extremely pale skin for my colouring and would love to test this product, also my boyfriend is coming over from the states in a few weeks and I would love to look my best for him, as my skin feels dull and lifeless in winter :(

i would love to try the foundation and bronzer as i have not used these products before and i have heard that mineral make up is good for acne skin whichi have. I definately think the bronzer will give me a lovely healthy glow to brighten up my winter white skin. I have also heard that a peach or pink coloured make up would brighten up a winter skin on the dull days too.

I've read, seen and heard alot about mineral foundations but i'm not sure i believe what most of them say and considering the prices tags are alittle out of range for me to just give it a try i havn't actually bought any. But if i could try it for free i will be able to make a definate decision one or another about teh products

I brighten up my winters days with a bike ride through the park.  After that, I could do with some mineral makeup to tone down my flushed face.

I brighten up my winter days by having a good run around in the garden with my two boys, healthy and gives my cheeks some colour!  I would love to try this mineral foundation as i have very spot prone skin, which i think is in part due to heavy foundation, so mineral foundation sounds a godsend!

I brighten up my winter days with a soft make up and blush red-brown on  my cheeks in order to look like lively and to camouflage the cold winter.

i brighten up my winter days spending time with my gorgeous fiance and beautiful little girl who is 15 months old. i love when its the weekend and we can go shopping or for walks together. id love to try some mineral makeup as if im not going anywhere important i like to let my skin breathe so this would be good to be natural but bit of cover also.

I am a red head with very pale skin so am desperate to finally find a blusher that doesn't make me look like a clown.  The minerals sound like i will be able to apply it lightly. Please please send me a sample to try as i have wasted a fortune on blushers that i've ended up throwing away and would really love to bring some colour to my face.

i would loveto try this. I tried sheercover and it caused me to feel itchy and i had spots of redness where it caused me some allergy. i want to try mineral make up as it always is advertised to hide blemishes and give a youthful glow.

I like to brighten my winter days by taking a walk on the beach with my partner. The cold air brings a glow to my cheeks - but not as much as some mineral powder would!!

my way of brightening up winter days is making myself nice hot cup of coffe, watching movies in bed, shopping. I never tried mineral make up, but would relly love to. I'm too late with my comment anyway beacuse I just found out about this so its a shame. That would definetly brighten my day:(

I think having more of a natural glow on your face can look and feel more better than lots of makup on, and i believe that mineral makeup is more natural and kinder to the skin, which seems to be becoming a popular choice for makeup now!! so this sounds great ...i'd love to try this out. I think a great way to brighten up winter days, is to be in with my friend's and family have a make-over party!!! with a great comedy.
