The Benefits of Using Mineral Makeup

Mineral makeup is manufactured with minerals which are sterilized and pulverized into a very fine powder which is then mixed with a variety of natural inorganic colorings to produce a variety of colors. Applying a mineral makeup instead of a chemical-based makeup provides a number of benefits.

Due to the fact that mineral make-up is non-comedogenic, which means it does not block the pores of the skin but instead allows the skin to breathe, mineral makeup is very appealing for those women with sensitive skin. So for those women who suffer with rosacea, dryness, acne or other skin ailments, utilizing mineral makeup permits them to take advantage of a skin-friendly product which will not exacerbate their problems. As well, the prime ingredients used in mineral makeup are, unlike most makeup, inorganic, which means that bacteria and microbes cannot live in the makeup and infect the skin. The fact that the ingredients are inorganic also means that no preservatives need be included and that the makeup will have a long shelf life, so long as reasonable care is taken to apply the makeup with clean brushes.

Mineral Makup Tips

Start your morning by gently cleansing your face and throat.
Use your favorite astringent and moisturizer.
Let both dry thoroughly so the powder won’t streak.
Eyes are the windows to a woman’s soal.
Don’t forget to enhance yours!
Dip an eye shadow brush or applicator into your eye shadow powder.
(DUSTING FROM JAR TOPS WORKS GREAT!)
Tap off any excess, apply with a light touch. I like to begin in the crease of my eye so the color is darker there. The shade and intensity are your decision. You can go light or keep adding powder to make a darker more seductive look. You can also moisten your applicator and dip it into your shadow for a more dramatic look. If you are going to use this technique, remember to put some of the powder into another container or you hand as you will not be able to use your remaining supply if it gets wet. That’s it! Easy right? It takes a few times to get a routine down pat so don’t be discouraged if your first few times aren’t exactly what you want. Remember the first few times you used the goopy stuff? For extra ease, convenience and portability, try a dispensing brush. Simply Natural’s Cosmetics mineral makeup won’t spoil, get an odor from sitting around, doesn’t need to be refrigerated and unused portions can be stored indefinitely. Just don’t get the powders wet and keep them from direct exposure to high humidity. If you keep the lid on your jar you won’t have a problem with this last part. Now that you have added your favorite colors in strategic places on your face and/or body, you want to set your look and keep the shine at bay. An excellent way of doing this is by applying a light, thin layer of finishing or rice powder. Finishing powders are called may things: Mineral Rice, Mineral Finish, Setting Powder. They all do the same job. They finish and set your work. They help keep the greasy look away.
They keep your complexion looking fresh.
