Instruction booklet - handy illustrated guide takes you step-by-step through your makeup application for goof-proof results. Brown cosmetic bag. Aqua Elements Features: Natural loose powder makeup made with earth-derived mineral elements infused with water that provides skin with hydration and natural-looking, shine-free coverage. Designed by Lauren Hutton's team for women who want a more natural looking and natural feeling makeup, but can't use normal mineral makeup because of the unnatural looking "shiny white mask" it can leave, especially on 35+ skin. Key to this makeup is a luxurious elixir of stone mineral elements imported from France, including malachite, hematite and smithsonite. These unique minerals, along with a combination of additional naturally-derived ingredients which include silica, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, rice powder and pure iron oxides, are infused with the natural hydrating benefits of water. Water-infusion is accomplished through Lauren's proprietary AquaFusion manufacturing process, which makes the powder apply with a refreshing, hydrating feeling. Makeup will not leave shine on skin, which can accentuate lines and wrinkles. Natural looking and feeling, and does not clog pores. Mineral ingredients provide remarkable coverage to help conceal the visible signs of aging Loose powder formulas contain no ingredients such as parabens or talc. Loose powder formulas are oil- and fragrance-free. Ideal for most skin types. Mess-free. Resealable sifter seal keeps powder in the base of the compact until you need it. Determine Your Skin Tone: Pink (Light) - if you are very fair, burn before you tan and have skin with pink or porcelain undertones, you should choose Pink. Yellow (Medium) - if you are Caucasian, Asian or light mixed race and have beige or yellow undertones, you should choose Medium. Most Caucasian women fall into this category, so if you're unsure, select Yellow, like Lauren. Olive (Medium-Dark) - if you are Mediterranean, Latino, of dark mixed race or a fair-skinned African-American, you should choose Olive. Brown (Dark) - if you are African-American, deep-complexioned Indian or any other dark skin color, you should choose Brown.

This is my second time purchasing this set. I bought the pink. I really like the base concealers and the contouring powder. I did not like the color of the lipstick, the mascara wasn't anything special. The brush fell apart with use. The base concealer lid over the foundation powder arrived broken, so I have been using a rubber band to keep it shut.
Even though this arrived with problems, it was a better value for me to buy the set than to buy the individual base kit and the color kit seperately. Those were the only pieces I wanted.
The concealer and the contour colors are the best I've ever found for my facial tones. It's just a shame that Lauren is not listening to the reviews. They are the same conplaints from last year. PLEASE improve the quality of the packaging and get rid of some of the lipstick and shadow colors.

While I can tell others really like it, it is by far the most disappointing makeup I have ever purchased. The packaging is messy, the amount of concealer is so laughable (especialy if you bought the kit for the coverage effects of the concealer)and I ended up with a big splotchy mess on my face and I rewashed. Tried again the next day and I still found products dissappointing. I try to not write negative reviews, but this is just not a good product to me. Mascara pretty nice. I am returning

I did not like this product at all and will probably never use again. I should have sent it back, but waited too long, because I was shopping for a foundation that did work. The packaging is problematic and the coverage is too sheer for wrinkles, age spots and freckles.

If you don't need or like heavy coverage this kit is for you. I really love Lauren's concealers and her AE Products are the best on the market. The brown powders can also be used as eye shadows. I'm thinking about getting a second kit just so I can get another lipstick. The color is very natural.

Great Foundation!
Container design for powder products is poor. I am using my own containers because I like the foundation so well.
I agree with the other comments about the color of the blush; too orange! Lauren has a great product line: especially in the mineral makeup line. Much better than BE for Girls over 40!!
Very sheer, yet if you don't like the heavy look, great coverage!
Thanks Lauren!! I'm looking forward to your NEW Colors!?

Love the more natural look to this mineral foundation--especially for us older gals. If you want a heavy coverage, this is not the kit for you. The concealers are excellent as well. I will definitely order this again. Please change the present tab closure on the foundation and blush with a "dial" type permanent tab.

I found this mineral make-up to have no coverage at all. I have a pretty good complexion, and many days, I just like to dust on a light layer of mineral makeup. Not with this one, though. To get any coverage I had to rely on the concealers included. This system was not for me.

The bad: ordered PINK, got CORAL. Pink is red/blue based, Coral on the otherhand is YELLOW BASED. The overall effect was that I had jaundice rather than "sun-kissed"; lipstick=terracotta on me...not pink
The GOOD: 1). Great foundation formulation-feels hydrating/not drying. 2). love the packaging, especially the "stopper cork" so you can control how much loose powder is released.

Loving Lauren Hutton, I wanted to love this, but it's just OK for me. The mineral powder does NOT cover as well as what I was previously using (BE), sorry to say. The lipstick is a fantastic shade but literally no staying power. The concealers are also great, but don't last any longer than other concealers. I am 51 an have a pinkish skin tone--I wonder if this would work better for those with warmer-toned skin.....

Have Lauren's makeup disc and it's great. Had the same expectation with new line. The packaging needs lots of work. Very difficult to work with, the powder in the bottom tray is difficult to work with without making a mess. It is unfortunate that the packaging takes away from the promise of the makeup.The pencil is as good as any bought at a cvs, so nothing exceptional about this line. I'm sending it back but hope that Lauren get this act together because I'm still a fan of her experience

definitely a learning curve involved in using this, but read the guide, and take your time.
Within minutes flaws were minimized. The brush that came with the kit is a great one. Take your time to learn how to use this kit, it's worth the effort.
I love this kit and will probably buy it again very soon in order not to ever run out! I am 52 years young, and have used everything around... Lauren Hutton's cosmetics are a product I'll continue to use. Mascara is amazing too!

I have used popular mineral lines they make me shiny and they make my pores larger and settle in fine lines. Aqua Elements do not make me shiny, or itch even at the end of the day. For me, it lasts all day. I use her Gel foundation under the mineral powder. I use the sheer concealer on my eyelids too, it keeps eye color from fading. I use the pooch and nose color on my lids also. I get more complements when I wear this than from anything else.

I misunderstood & thought this kit contained a matte liquid foundation. Don't care for loose powder. While I like the idea of a piggyback container, this one is not good for powder. What are you going to do when the powder is low?--constantly turn the container upside down. Prefer Signature Club A pressed powder. The shade of blush in light is nice for a natural look & the color of lipstick was good, though I would have preferred a lighter shade. Will not purchase again.

I LOVE this kit. I'm 47, and I wont buy anything but Lauren Hutton Makeup. It's easy to apply and I love the easy instructions, that I look at even though I've been using her make up for years. I'd recomend the Aqua Elements to anyone over 35.My only question is, now that I have and love the Aqua Elements line, I'm not sure what to do with the disc I purchased earlier this year. Any suggestions?

I have used bare minerals for years and thought it was the best.
This is much better. I do not have to touch up my oily shine any more during the day. The concealer color is a good match for my skin tone but a little too sheer to conceal without piling it on.
The packaging is great and totally organized.Thanks Lauren

The main problem I had with the makeup was that it caused cystic acne. As soon as I started using it, I developed really huge and painful bumps on my hairline. I stopped using it for a couple of weeks and no acne, but after I started again, I immediately ended up with the acne again. The packaging is also problematic--the stuff spills all over the place and it is difficult to open the little containers. Unfortunately, I just cannot recommend this product.

First, the packaging is fantastic. It is easy to use, compact, & beautiful. I LOVE the reusable sifter plugs that keep the minerals in the appropriate compartments - no mess! The coverage & natural look of this makeup is amazing. It blends easily & completely into my skin & there is NO "white/shiny" look that even BE gives you & yet it doesn't dull your complexion at all. I have oily skin - the concealer & foundation provide no shine, all day coverage. This is the perfect mineral makeup!

I also used Baremineral makeup before I found this. I love the natural look of Aqua Elements and it is so easy to use. I got the medium and the colors work great with my complexion. Bareminerals do have better coverage so I use that when I want to look more polished, but for everyday it is Auqua Elements.
