What is the big deal about mineral makeup? Everyone has their own version of mineral make up for sale. Read this article to find out the difference between traditional cosmetics and mineral makeup.
We've all heard infomercials that make outrageous claims about their products. Cosmetic companies are no different. They promise plenty but deliver very little. We spend hundreds of dollars on foundation, blush, and eye shadow only to find out that they don't last long and don't conceal anything.
Learn about Mineral Makeup
Women everywhere seem to love it. Mineral makeup is nothing new. It has existed for a long time, but has gained a following only recently. But, something is going on because traditional makeup products are taking a back seat to these minerals.
Mineral makeup is composed of ground up minerals mainly iron oxides, mica, and titanium dioxide. Some mineral makeup contains bismuth oxychloride. This is not a naturally occurring mineral but its pearlesque color adds the glow to the face for those who wear mineral makeup. Some people develop an irritation to the bismuth oxychloride, but it is not an ingredient in all mineral makeup.
Traditional Makeup
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.
We are told not to wear our makeup to bed. Besides the fact that we will wake up with our face imprinted on our pillow, most traditional makeup clogs the pores. Sleeping in the makeup doesn't allow the skin to breathe and that can cause skin irritations.
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.
The Comparison
Mineral makeup offers many advantages that traditional makeup does not. Their cosmetics are:
Lightweight Hypoallergenic (choose makeup without bismuth oxychloride) Perfect for all skin tones Natural feeling and appearance Healthy for the skin
Traditional makeup, on the other hand, can:
Clog pores Look unnatural on some skin types Feel heavy Irritate your skin from the chemical ingredients
Makeup makes us look beautiful but all cosmetics are not the same. Make sure you get all the facts before you make a purchase. Read the ingredient list on the label. Mineral makeup uses all natural substances to enhance your look without hurting your skin. - 15266
