Mineral makeup opened women up to the idea of wearing powder foundation. What was once a chalky mess used by younger girls only who didn’t have any fine lines it could settle into- or anything substantial to cover- is now a viable alternative for women who just want something quick.

Aveda’s Inner Light let’s you choose your coverage by using it wet or dry, with a brush or sponge, depending on what your skin needs that day so it truly is a one size fits all option.
