Mineral Make Up: For A Natural Glow
As beauty legend has it, it was the mid 1970s that a quiet, little cosmetic revolution was born. It was called mineral make up, products made of all natural, finely ground minerals from the earth, without any of the chemicals, dyes, and preservatives found in traditional make up. Fast forward some 30 years: It is virtually exploding the beauty market and has been quietly creating a revolution in the cosmetics industry.
Not unlike anything else, mineral make up has both great fans and harsh critics. Those who are fans praise the product's light, natural, and enduring glow that other types of makeup can't imitate. The critics say that the makeup dries and irritates skin and adds wrinkle and years of age to their appearance. Some also say that the makeup's ashy undertone is unsuitable for ethnic skin types.
Apart from the looks many consumers also say they are initially drawn to try mineral make up because of skin health claims, more specifically, that its pure formulations are safer and better for sensitive, even acne or rosaceous prone skin.
Bare mineral make up doesn't cover up the real you like traditional makeups; it hides the blemishes and imperfections while emphasizing your natural beauty. This makeup is not a powder, although it is crushed to a powder-like form. It is completely devoid of any preservatives, talc, oil, fragrance, or chemicals. What results is flawless coverage for any skin type with the added bonus of a natural SPF.
For a totally natural look that brings out the sparkle in your skin, try sheer cover makeup powders. The mineral pigments within the powder work to cover imperfections and give skin an even look, whilst remaining light and avoiding that 'cakey' feeling. There are no dyes or perfumes used; the sheer cover formula works with your skin's natural oils and produces a flawless finish. Fine lines disappear like magic!
