The image on the left shows Andrea with a clean and lightly moisturized face. The image on the right shows her after an application of M2 Radiant Mineral Powder Foundation in shade #10.  Andrea battles an undiagnosed skin condition that may be discoid lupus or rosacea. We opted to use no other colour cosmetics to avoid distraction from the beautiful natural coverage that our pure minerals provide. No primer or additional concealing products were used.
We would like to thank Andrea for the opportunity to work with her. She is truly a beautiful woman both inside and out. We are firm supporters of her company's philosophy and admire the work she is doing to promote self-esteem in girls everywhere.

At MJ Studios, we believe that cosmetics can and should be good for the skin.  For more information or to order, please email or visit MJ Studios on facebook

A word from MJ:
"We all look at faces in a different perspective and create an image. Makeup artistry is simply an expression ... True beauty lies from within. Always allow creativity in your application and experiment. Have fun, try new application methods, colours and tools, and remember there are no set rules when creating your own kind of beautiful."
