All mineral makeup is not identical. Before choosing cosmetics, decide what you desire in your mineral cosmetics. Mineral makeup is designed to be sheer, lightweight, and natural looking at any age. Beyond that, the ingredients are nourishing to your skin.
Read the ingredient list of the mineral makeup products on the market. Some have added fillers to their formulas. The fillers make up a larger portion of the cosmetics than the minerals do. Know what you are getting before you make a purchase.
Mineral makeup makes use of the natural minerals of the earth to enhance the look of every woman. What make this possible are the ingredients used to prepare your foundation, concealer, eye shadow, and other products. Cosmetics that contain the following ingredients will keep your skin healthy when you wear makeup.
1. Mica - You'll see this ingredient in most mineral preparations. Mica has many forms, the most common of which is serecite mica. This mineral helps the other components to adhere to your face where they are supposed to stay and stay nicely. Mica also uses the reflection of the light to hide wrinkles, large pores, and lines.
2. Titanium Dioxide - this mineral is big in the concealing department. It hides pores and lines by reflecting light as well as adding a brightener of sorts to the makeup. The overall appearance is still a matte natural finish. Titanium dioxide does offer the properties of sun protection but adding a sunscreen to your skin before applying mineral makeup reinforces what comes naturally.
3. Zinc Oxide - it's just like that white stuff you see on the noses of surfers on the beach. Zinc is a mineral that aids in naturally healing the body without chemicals. As zinc oxide, it provides protection from the sun (as an ingredient found in most sunscreens) because it stays on when your face gets wet.
4. Iron Oxide - There's nothing wrong with a splash of color to make a women noticeable in a crowd. Iron oxides add color to mineral makeup naturally. The pigments come in several shades useful for eye shadows and blushes. More subtle pigments are used to match foundations to all skin tones.
5. Silica - this mineral when powdered, adds a silky feel to mineral makeup. It functions to absorb excess oil in the skin so makeup continues to appear natural and not cakey. Silica powder also helps to reduce fine lines and reduce pores.
6. Boron nitride - Like silica, boron nitride absorbs excess oil so your face won't shine like you've been sweating. Instead, your skin will glow.
To be natural, mineral makeup must contain natural ingredients like the minerals named above. Other products like kaolin clay or rice powder are added also. Whether you choose to use these ingredients is up to you.
