Mineral makeup has become more popular than it was twenty years ago. Why are so many women turning to it? There must be something special that makes it different, but you'll have to continue reading this article to find out.
We know that everyone wants to sell their products. Unfortunately, our purchases come with big boasts that they rarely make good on. After spending lots of money we still aren't satisfied with our look.
Learn about Mineral Makeup
Mineral makeup is nothing new. Only recently, have women decided to give it a serious try. With the move towards a greener society, women are looking for a simpler, more natural makeup. As a result, they are turning to mineral makeup to do the job.
Mineral makeup gives the skin a healthy glow. That is a result of the bismuth oxychloride in the mineral makeup. This substance is the color of pearl but is not natural. If you are allergic or sensitive to bismuth oxychloride, all mineral makeup doesn't contain it. The main minerals included in mineral makeup are: mica, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides for color.
The Traditional Stuff
You name it and you can find a makeup line that will have it. Eyeliner comes in liquid pencils, eye shadow in a pencil, and nail polish that presses on. But, fillers are added for long term use.
Our mother always told us to wash off our face before we retired for the evening. If you didn't, by morning, your face would look more like a Halloween mask than a stunning beauty. Skin needs to breathe and makeup left on the face doesn't allow it to do that.
If you've ever used traditional makeup, it has a particular weight to it. Sometimes it clumps and shatters the illusion of a natural look. Watch out for perspiration. It makes your makeup run.
Comparing Mineral to Traditional
Mineral makeup has several benefits that differ from traditional makeup. Mineral formulations are:
Usable on all skin types Healthy Natural looking and feeling Hypoallergenic (without bismuth oxychloride) Lightweight
Traditional makeup, on the other hand, can:
Clog your pores Get heavy after layering on your makeup Irritate the skin due to chemicals Not color match everyone's skin tone
Before choosing a makeup to wear, learn the facts. All makeup is certainly not created equal. Natural doesn't always mean better quality, but when you combine the natural properties with great makeup results, you and your skin win. Mineral makeup helps you achieve that. - 15275
