Mineral makeup developed decades ago for cosmetics surgery patients, is now taking the beauty industry by storm. It’s the latest addition to an emerging demand for natural makeups that are free of potentially harmful chemicals, that are light as a feather and are nurturing for skin.
Unlike heavy liquid cosmetics, that often contain dangerous chemicals, mineral makeup is derived from earth rocks that are triple-milled into micronized minerals. It’s non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and provides a natural non-chemical sunscreen. The best brands, such as Naked Minerals, contain no artificial ingredients such as perfumes, chemicals, dyes or preservatives and aren’t absorbed into the skin – but lay upon it like a veil. Mineral makeup is inert and inorganic, so harmful bacteria can’t live or reproduce in it so there is no need to discard it after a few months as with traditional makeup.
The reviews of mineral makeup are encouraging, even though some popular brands only come as loose powders, something most women find difficult to deal with and quite messy. Naked Minerals, in contrast, is pressed without any artificial binders and is a unique offering to the beauty conscience .
Professionals ranging from cosmetic surgeons to makeup artists all agree that mineral makeup rejuvenates and refreshes the skin. Lots of women struggle with acne, allergic reactions, dryness and clogged pores caused by liquid foundation makeup. Mineral makeup allows a women to enhance her natural beauty without experiencing these problems.
To get that finished and polished look you want you’ll want to use a high quality makeup brush, the best are made from natural capra hair and they evenly distribute minerals on your face in a fraction of the time that most women devote to this routine using traditional cosmetics.
