Currently, one of the most popular trends in makeup is mineral makeup. Over the past few years, it has become more sought after, even though the concept has been around for over thirty years. The makeup consists of natural minerals from the earth. The most popular items have been loose powder foundations and blushes.
When choosing a brand, you should be very careful and wary of imitation products that claim to be made from all-natural mineral ingredients, but aren't. Many companies are just trying to profit from a hot, new trend, instead of offering the real thing. Since any makeup containing minerals can be marketed as "mineral makeup", you need to take a close look at the ingredients to ensure you are getting a pure product.
I have used a loose mineral powder as my foundation over this last year. I've just loved the change. There is a huge difference between my old foundation and this new, mineral foundation formula. The natural ingredients in mineral makeup are much better for your skin as they allow it to breath, and don't clog your pores. While many physicians have different opinions on the subject, most agree that mineral makeup is healthier for your skin. Until there is definite clinical proof on the subject, I have decided to just go off of my own personal experience. My mineral foundation has a much more natural look and hasn't caused my skin to break out at all.
Of course, if the ingredients arent all natural, then there may be irritation to the skin. Dont be fooled just because the product claims to all mineral. The way to be sure is to read the label for ingredients. Be on the lookout for anything that is synthetic like a dye, chemical, or some kind of preservative. Youll especially want to watch out for Bismuth Oxychloride. It is considered to be a mineral, so many try to pass off their makeup as being pure mineral, but it is not a natural one found in the earth. Doctors report that it can be a skin irritant and can cause rashes and itching.
One of the benefits of mineral makeup is that the coverage is long-lasting. It can be as heavy or light as you want it to be, so it can really work well for women with acne or rosacea, or scarring. The makeup is also long-lasting and can be layered without looking caked-on or clumpy.
Another plus is the SPF protection the makeup provides from the sun's harmful rays. When it comes to the sun and your skin, you can never be too careful. The sun will increase wrinkle lines and sun spots on your face, aging your skin before its time. I use a lotion for my face that has an SPF 15 and then apply the loose powder giving my skin added protection from the sun.
I dont think Ill ever go back to traditional foundation again. You should definitely give mineral makeup a try and see what you think! Maybe youll feel the same way I do and throw your traditional foundations away for good. - 15343
