The Bellapierre Difference

Nataly | July 16, 2009

What makes bellapierre different:1) Pure Micabellpierre uses 100% pure Mica. Other companies do not contain 100% minerals; they use fillers’ such as Talc, Bismuth Oxychloride, Parabens and other chemicals.2) Longer-lastingThe formulation of bellpierre mineral makeup means that it lasts longer, without the need to re-apply; products dont crease or fade and theyre waterproof too! Therefore they last much longer: e.g. a single pot of bellpierre Foundation lasts up to a year – even with daily use!3) Diversity of colourbellpierre Foundation is available in 10 shades so is suitable for all skin tones. For customers with a unique skin-tone, the beauty experts at bellpierre will mix the colours to create their very own bespoke shade.4) 5-in-1 FoundationThe mineral ingredients found in bellpierres Foundation give it the same properties as a concealer, SPF, finishing powder and setting powder. Most other brands only offer 3-in-1 foundations.5) Variety & Versatilitybellpierres Shimmer Powder is the ultimate all-in-one mineral make up product, available in 105 colours. Mix them to make practically any colour and combine with moisturiser, lip balm, or even a drop of water to become an eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, bronzer, nail polish, or whatever you want it to be. No other mineral make-up company offers a similar product.6) Pressed Powdersbellpierre offers a compact pressed powder range; formulated with the same mineral ingredients and offering the same coverage as the loose powders, designed with a practical way of applying the makeup while on the go and touching up without the mess.7) SPF 15bellpierres products contain minerals such as Titanium Dioxide, a naturally occurring sunscreen. When added to makeup, it provides natural resistance to harmful UV rays. The mineral itself reflects the sunlight so you get a natural SPF of 15 to 20.8) Hypo-allergenicThe simplicity of bellpierres formulations makes the products suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. bellpierre mineral make-up can be used on common skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis as well as after surgery9) Packagingbellpierres products are packaged and sealed to the highest quality. Each pot is fitted with a sifter to control the amount of product released. The cap (which has a liner in it) acts as a pallet to hold the powder for easy application and allows excess powder to be returned to the pot, saving what has not been used.10) Created by menbellpierre is the first mineral make-up brand to be created and run by men; yes men who care! All of bellpierres professional make-up artists are male too
