Basic Mineral Makeup

There are so many factors to consider when choosing Basic Mineral Makeup. First, it’s a good idea to see if you can get a free sample to try – they’re quite common. Next is to make certain whatever company you choose has asatisfactionor money back guarantee. If they don’t move on. Any cosmetics company that doesn’t stand behind it’s products today won’t be around tomorrow. Makeup can be a bit tricky to find what works for you, so the last thing you want is to waste a bunch of your money on something that just doesn’t work for you.

When it comes to Mineral Makeup know that you’re making the right move. It’s all-natural, or at least quality brands are but not all cosmetics are created alike so you need to do your due-diligence. Some less reputable companies will sneak synthetic chemical ingredients into the mix but still claim to be “natural.” You need to be label savvy andunderstand what all that stuff means and truly is. For example, you want to avoid any makeup that says it has ‘Bismuth Oxychloride’ in it. This chemical can actually cause a reaction and make you skin itch and break-out. It can also leave a sparkly kind of complexion. Sheer Cover products are one of the brands that are guaranteed to be ‘Bismuth Oxychloride’ free.

You also want to make sure that the mineral makeup you’reconsideringdoesn’t include any ‘parabens’. Parabens are used as preservatives and are known to be a harmful chemical that has been linked to various cancers. It’s interesting to note that true Mineral Makeup doesn’t need anyartificialpreservative because true minerals arepreservativesin themselves. Bottom line if they’re addingpreservativeslike parabens than you know the quantity of minerals is so low it’s ineffective. If you are unsure about what allthosethings on the label mean you can go to SafeCosmetics.org. The important point here is that you want to be certain your skin is safe and not exposed to harmful chemicals like those found in dyes, preservatives, and fragrances. SafeCosmetics.orglists products that are safe to use.

If you’ve got sensitive skin then you’ll definitely want to switch all of your makeup to Pure Minerals Makeup. It’s hypoallergenic and does not contain talc or any of those other chemicals. BTW – Talc actually dries the skin. But If your skin is very dry then your makeup will clump up and cake and block up your pores leading to even more problems. What you really want is that creamy, luminous look that quality mineral makeup gives.

One of the other excellent features of Mineral Makeup is that it provides natural sun protection (SPF) and is naturally waterproof. Damage caused by the sun is the most common skin problem today. Exposure to the sun cause your skin to age prematurely and can lead to skin cancer. Mineral makeup with a high SPF helps preventing that damage. Mineral makeup is also great for rainy days because it won’t run.

Now, you might think it’s impossible to find any makeup that matches this list. But really it’s not. Sheer Makeup has paved the way and their are numerous Mineral Makeup companies that fit all of these criteria – Check out Sheer Cover Mineral Products, Bare Minerals and Mineral Miracle to name a few. They’ve all been meeting these high standards for years.

Basic Mineral Makeup Q & A

Q – Do you have any suggestions for Home Made Mineral Makeup Recipes?

I am looking for some advise on how to make mineral makeup and mineral eyeshadow myself. I’ve heard it’s not todifficult. Just a basic ‘how to’ outline would be great!

I’ve also heard it’s possible to make mineral eyeshadow from baby powder – true?

Actually it’s true. You can use baby powder as a base for Basic Mineral Makeup. But, there is a catch – baby powder contains more than just natural ingredients. In fact it contains talc and if you read above you know that can clog your pores and cause irritations. That said a little as a base could be OK for eyeshadow.

Of course the best place to get ideas is online. Check out ‘How to’ videos online but be sure to double check any suggested ingredients against the safe list (see site address above).
