The Buzz On Minerals
February 29, 2008
There are a wide variety of mineral make ups out there from Bare Escentuals to Purminerals. They are all excellent products and after having used them in a dozen makeovers I would reccomend them for nearly everybody. Most cosmetics lines have jumped on this "mineral makeup" band wagon so before you decide to go mineral, I would try to make sure that the brand you are choosing is a reputable one.
I would not reccomend using Sheer Cover. Their products aren't as natural as they would like you to believe. I would also reccomend double checking certain drugstore mineral cosmetics because I have known many of them to have talc, which is one of the ingredients that people turn to mineral makeup to avoid.
The minerals in mineral makeup start out in the appearance of a powder, but don't be fooled! The specially designed brushes help to break down this powder into a natural mineral state. It is very quick, easy, and extremely light on the face. If applied correctly you can get FLAWLESS light to medium coverage. Many people prefer Purminerals to Bare Minerals due to the heavier coverage that Purminerals offer as well as the fact that Purminerals can be bought in a compact.
Because it is a mineral and not a powder the minerals are able to actually go into the skin. The skin benefits from these amazing minerals, and you can tell in the healthy glow that people who wear it have. When I used to do makeovers with the product it always produced great results and was feather light. So many makeups can come on thick and even when they look good they don't always feel good. Mineral make up feels good.
Mineral make up also does not have any added fragrance, talc, oil, preservatives or other skin irritants. If you are easily allergic to certain cosmetics, mineral makeup would be the way for you to go. Most mineral makeups also have a natural SPF usually in a range of about SPF 5-15. So if you wanted makeup or foundation with a little SPF to it but are allergic to the chemical SPF, which many people are, this would also be a nice alternative.
Why mineral makeup is great:
1. Good coverage.
2. Heals the skin.
3. Provides a natural look.
4. Very comfortable/feather light.
5. Much quicker to use then traditional makeup.
Enjoy your cosmetic adventures!
