Mineral Face Makeup:

 An Alternative To Liquid Makeups 

Mineral makeup is makeup that is normally in powder form and made from natural minerals such as those found in the earth. That may sound strange and non appealing but you should not judge it until you try it for yourself. Mineral face makeup is far better for your complexion than oil based liquid makeup. Face Minerals also make your skin feel lighter than if you were wearing other traditional makeup.

When I first tried mineral face makeup, I didn't like it at all because I wasn't used to putting on such small amounts of foundation. My face ended up looking off color and rather clownish. I swore I would never use the stuff ever again, and then I saw a special for it on a shopping channel and they demonstrated how to properly apply it. I decided to give it another try.

The first step in applying mineral face makeup is to first apply a good mineral makeup moisturizer: this softens your skin and makes the foundation go on smoothly. Then I would highly recommend purchasing a set of quality mineral makeup brushes. Oftentimes when you buy a starter set of mineral makeup, it will come with a set of makeup brushes. Don't use cheap ones!

Using only high quality mineral makeup brushes will give you better results than most regular makeup brushes. The good quality mineral makeup brushes differ from regular makeup brushes because they have a flatter base. You'll find that the shape of the brush will have a lot to do with how well the powder goes on your face. The better quality brush does not simply absorb it as the cheaper brushes do. The better brush smooths the makeup onto the face.

First you should apply the mineral makeup moisturizer. After you use themineral makeup moisturizer then you should take the makeup brush and put a small amount of the foundation powder on it. Tap the brush on the bottle to get rid of the excess loose powder. Apply to the face and look at the results! It does take some getting used to because mineral makeups are not as heavy as liquid ones. Be careful not to overdo it since at first you will not realize that you are wearing makeup.

Mineral makeups are beginning to become more mainstream, mostly because popular shopping networks regularly have hours and hours of infomercials devoted to nothing but it. One should always be sure to pick the higher end brand because the cheaper makeup never goes on as well as the nicer makeup. The nicer brands aren't always expensive, and once you use it you will see why you should choose the higher end makeup. I will never go back to using liquids after trying mineral makeup.

Mineral makeup has been around for a while now, and not many of us are aware of the benefits of using natural minerals on our skin. Mineral makeup is made up of naturally occurring pigments from the earth, it’s non-comedegenic, and doesn’t irritate the skin, making it a great alternative for sensitive and mature skin types.

All of those cosmetics we’ve grown up on are chemical laden, and quite frankly, unhealthy. Research has shown that chemicals in makeup are not only bad for your skin, but can also be life threatening with continued exposure.

Minerals already benefit your body in many ways—why not your skin, too?
