April 2007. Musq realeases its amazing Musqskin Creme Compact Foundation and divine Musqskin Liquid Foundations! Worth the wait, these landmark formulations were designed by Musq to take mineral makeup to another level, and they have! The creme is now Musq's hero product, especially with makeup artists, for its flawless and lasting coverage! As with Musq's powder foundations, they are consistently descibed by users as the best foundations they have ever worn. We put them through vigorous testing, starting with 10.00am application and some serious shopping, partying and then nightclubbing - the foundations remained perfect until 3.00am! (only the lippy needed touching up!)  

 Musq "so hot" on Gold 104.3 FM

May 16 2007. Musq was thrilled to be invited to give an on-air makeover to the gorgeous Dee Dee on Gold 104.3 FM. Grubby was so impressed with both the effect of Musq and its soothing properties that he requested a light application of Musqskin Mineral Foundation too! The verdict? Musq was pronounced to be "...so hot..." by Dee Dee. Gold doesn't just play the best classic hits, it has the best made up faces too!

  In The Media

The definitive professional industry magazine Professional Beauty  July / August 2007 selects the Musq makeup model for its full page photo intro to the Beauty section! Musq is then again featured in the photo spread shown right. (Musq has made other appearances in magazines of course, but we don't have room to show them all.)

Bridal Expo

The Melbourne International Beauty Expo and Conference.

Musq mineral makeup exhibited at this Expo April 2007. We were kept on our toes with non stop visitors excitedly trying the first Australian fashion makeup that is also a 100% synthetic free, non-toxic range. Buyers loved the new colours, the fashionable packaging, and how perfectly the products performed when applied.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q. What makes Musq unique, and called the best mineral makeup?

A. Musq is totally natural AND safe AND high fashion!

Honest and innovative, copied but unrivalled! Musq is not simply a makeup with minerals added, a few healthy ingredients, hidden synthetics and irritants cloaked in ambiguous descriptions to increase profits. We are very specific and open about all our ingredients, going beyond revealing just the key ingredients, and are both accredited with Choose Cruelty Free and a Licensee. With ties to the fashion industry for trends and listening closely to customer preferences, our colours, products and packaging are as fashionable and high performance as they are healthy. We don't push unnecessary products like primers or finishing powders to maximise sales when we instead formulate superior products that do no require such extras. 

Using minerals for makeup is nothing new. Used since ancient times, and fashionable again in the last decade, Musq has drawn together all the elements necessary to make perfect and safe makeup.

Q. Why does Musq give so much information about ingredients on its website and instore?

A. Musq is passionate about promoting good health, not just looking glamourous! We educate, and are aligned with like-minded companies who are focused on health and sustainability. Even if you decide not to use Musq, you can make a more informed choice. Our store staff are not pushy and sales orientated, but are beauty therapists focused on results. They have been trained in skincare and makeup application unlike nurses or salespeople working in department stores and medi-spas.

Q. What products are safe after salon treatments?

A. Peels and dermabrasion can be great to improve skin problems. They also leave the skin more vulnerable, especially to sun damage, and more readily able to absorb what is applied to it.

Regular cosmetics contain toxic and irritating synthetics, which will be more readily absorbed by  the treated skin. Nasty! The skin is also then more likely to react to the ingredients, such as getting a rash or even blistering. Ouch!

Only totally natural products that are also safe, soothing, healing and protective should be applied. Although minerals are soothing, when mineral makeup has bismuth oxychloride, carmine, talc, parabens or other problem ingredients it is counter-productive! Musq is ideal after salon treatments, having the properties needed by vulnerable skin but without any of the nasties.

Q. It's Summer and I love the beach; is Musq foundation water resistant if I swim? Will it go orange?

A. Musq's foundations are highly water resistant and give full natural UVA / UVB sun protection! When drying off don't rub face but pat dry to keep the mineral foundation on. The colour will stay true. Remember to use sunscreen elsewhere. We recommend Avado 30+ which is all natural and Australian made.

Q. What about other chemicals? You can't escape them all!

A. Correct, and which is exactly why we should make the tiny and easy changes to minimise our exposure. Lots of small changes add up to a big result. You can buy all Australian totally safe and natural dish washing liquid to hair conditioner, at comparable or better prices than mainstream products. Shop around and you'll discover some great healthy choices that perform better! You can't eliminate all exposure, but you can reduce it considerably. Why buy an almost healthy makeup when you can buy Musq mineral makeup here?

Think of it like junk food. A diet top heavy in junk food causes weight gain and health issues. If we eat healthily most of the time, a junk meal has little impact.
