I’ve been a huge fan of Lily Lolo makeup since I was living in London over 10 years ago so I’m really proud to be able to bring this great brand to other women here in New Zealand. I think it’s the most natural makeup at the best price here and it also performs amazingly well. 

For me another important aspect of Lily Lolo is that it complies with the strictest regulations in the world – The EU Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC) as it’s made in the UK. Other brands from the USA or Australia don’t have to comply with these stringent standards. 

I’ve also never had anyone with sensitive skin react to the products before so I highly recommend for anyone who has reacted to other makeup to give this a try. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like any advice on the range

The products that come in plastic containers are fully recyclable. They are made from PETG which can be put in with plastic bottles recycling at your nearest recycling centre. 

Using Lily Lolo Products 

Will the coverage be as good as my liquid foundation? 

You’ll be amazed! Mineral foundation covers like nothing else. Not only that, it doesn’t lay in a thick obvious way on top of your skin, it buffs in beautifully to give the illusion of flawless, bare skin. When your skin requires less coverage, just apply less, you don’t need a heavy foundation AND a tinted moisturiser! 

Can I wear moisturiser under my minerals? 

Of course! For best results allow moisturiser to be fully absorbed before applying the mineral foundation to your skin. 

Is Lily Lolo the same as other powder products? 

Lily Lolo mineral foundation is silky or creamy and is not drying to the skin, unlike most powder products which contain talc or corn starch which is drying and gives skin that ‘powdery’ look. 

How do I know which shade to buy? 

We offer samples for some of our products for between 50c to $4 depending on size plus shipping so that you can check you’ve got the right shade before you invest in the full size – We’d recommend ordering perhaps 2 or 3 or get the starter collections. The samples contain around 0.75g of foundation powder which although sounds very small will be enough for several applications. You can even mix foundations together to create your own personal colour. 

Have a good look at your skin in daylight. If you look like you have pinky tones to the skin, then your natural colouring is cool. If you look more yellow, your undertones are more likely to be warm. If neither is obvious, then the neutral toned colours will suit most skin types. 

Try looking at the inside of your wrists too – if the veins show mainly blue, then you’re more likely to have cool colouring, and if they look green then warm tones might suit you better. Again, if you’re not obviously either one, then try the neutral tones. 

It is also possible to tone down your natural undertones by using foundation a shade away from your colouring, for example, to tone down pinkness, choose a neutral or warm shade. 

Do I need to buy a special brush to apply the foundation? 

Kabuki brushes are specially made for applying mineral cosmetics so are undoubtedly the best way to apply your mineral foundation. However, if you just want to try mineral foundation and have ordered some samples one of your existing makeup brushes will do. Try and use a small brush out of a compact which has shorter bristles – you’ll still achieve great results. 

Is mineral foundation easy to apply? 

Yes, very easy – no more dabbing at spots trying to get a slimy liquid in the right place! Simply dip your application brush in the powder, tap off the excess and apply in a circular motion to your face. We include a leaflet of application tips with your order but you really can’t go wrong with minerals. 

Do I need to wear a finishing powder over my foundation? 

No, Lily Lolo foundations can be worn without any finishing powder if you choose. However, we offer several different finishing powders which are very popular. 

Will my Lily Lolo foundation stay on all day? 

Yes, mineral foundation has great staying power – read our testimonials to find out what our customers say. 

What is the SPF of Lily Lolo foundation? 

Our foundation has been assessed specifically to measure its SPF, and provides a SPF value of 15 to help protect skin. 

How do I minimise the appearance of pores and wrinkles? 

To minimise the appearance of fine lines, try applying some Flawless Matte powder as a base, as this will stop powder sinking into any lines. Finish off with the Flawless or Translucent Silk powder, as this deflects light and will give you an overall smoother finish. 

If you have obvious pores, then also try the Flawless or Translucent Silk to give you a flawless complexion, and finish off your makeup application by smoothing a flocked sponge over your face, as this will remove any excess powder and minimise the appearance of pores. 

How do I use products on lips and nails? 

Lip glosses are available, but with minerals it’s also possible to mix your own colours. To use on lips, add eyeshadow or blush to a gloss or lip balm with a lip brush, avoiding those that contain Ultramarine Blue or Ferric Ferrocyanide. It’s also possible to apply the colour with a stiff brush, and then apply clear lip gloss over the top if you prefer. 

Great effects can be achieved using mineral powder on nails. Simply mix your powder with a clear nail varnish. (Dip the varnish coated brush into the powder and then apply). 

How will mineral makeup perform on mature, oily, sensitive or acne-prone skin? 

Mineral makeup is suitable for all skin types. For mature skin, a base, such as Flawless Matte is recommended to stop makeup sinking into lines, similarly for oily skin, as this will control oil and shine. 

Mineral makeup is ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin, as it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals and includes key ingredient zinc oxide, which has healing and antibacterial properties. Minerals are particularly good for acne-prone skin. 

My product looks a slightly different shade/colour than my last order? 

As all of our products are made from natural minerals there may be some variation in how powders appear because as they are not man-made, it is impossible to make two batches of a mineral powder exactly the same. 

How do I wash my Lily Lolo brushes? 

Never immerse your makeup brushes in water as this can affect the glue bond holding the bristles together. Instead, hold the bristles pointing downwards in warm running water, gently lather with a mild shampoo and rinse the same way in running water. 

Always leave makeup brushes to dry naturally, preferably on their side to prevent water from running into the ferrule (the base of the bristles).
