Frugal Minerals: Ferro Cosmetics

Ferro Cosmetics is a line of 100% Natural Mineral Makeup all of which is made in NYC. I was sent some of their Minis to try-out and they come packaged in these cute, colorful organza pouches some of which even have feather trimmings. Their blushes and foundations each retail for just $5 which means you can stock-up on a variety of colors and mix-and-match to suit your color-tone (I’ve found that their darker, brownish blush works best on the top-half of my cheekbone, while their more pinkish ones work best for the apple). Five mini blushes can also be bought in a set for only $19.95. As for the foundation, I personally prefer using liquid foundation and then setting it with solid powder, but Ferro’s foundations give enough coverage that they work well as a complement to a liquid foundation or for someone looking for light-to-medium coverage worn just over makeup primer.

I can’t really compare the look I got from Ferro to my usual LORAC and Sensai routine, because the real draw about this line really is the price and wide product choice (over 40 eye colors alone! Including both matte and shimmery). Not only are there dozens upon dozens of items for under $10, there are few skin tons that won’t be able to find a color-match (and if you consider that the colors can be mixed-and-matched pretty much everyone is covered). They have an extensive e-commerce site as well. Check them out by clicking here!
