If you haven’t tried mineral makeup yet, you are really missing out, my friend. With its natural sunscreen protection and gentle formulations, mineral makeup offers the best way to get flawless coverage without irritating your skin with harmful chemicals.

Our favorite brand to date is Everyday Minerals. We love the Austin-based company for a variety of reasons — not just because its cosmetics and cruelty-free brushes are crazy affordable for the quality, but for the little things they do, like providing employees with free bicycles to cut down on carbon emissions in commuting. Know of any other companies that do that?

Best of all, with its Try Me Free program, you can sample their range of products for free before you buy. Seriously! You only pay for shipping.

So if you’re not sure which blush is the perfect shade of peach for you or whether your skintone is more warm-medium beige or beige-light medium, order up some generously-sized free samples to see for yourself.

Bonus: Since they’re powder instead of liquid, they pack well, too.
