Mineral cosmetics contain fine minced minerals such as iron oxide, zinc oxide and titanium oxide, which are responsible for pigmentation and thus covering in cosmetic products. The key difference between mineral makeup and conventional is in what it does not contain. Thus, on the list of ingredients there are no oils and wax, no perfumes or preservatives are added. In addition to the absence of preservatives, the products often have only a natural odor that is barely noticeable so that the products are odorless. Often, these ingredients are responsible for causing irritation in conventional makeup.

Its ingredients can protect against harmful sunrays and have protective properties, but I recommend using an additional SPF as protection. Mineral makeup can be used to reduce the number of inflammatory processes and acne, if acne is induced by ingredients that can clog pores. If it is hormone-type acne, treatment and repair depend on other health conditions.

Applying mineral makeup differs from conventional only by technique. With this type of makeup it is important to start with less, then build up coverage in few steps. Before applying mineral powders, make sure that the creams are completely absorbed into the skin. Preparation and skin care is also essential for mineral makeup. Deminish small irregularities with a mineral concealer, then brush mineral powder over. If there is more powder than needed, brush it into the lid od foundation then apply it to the face. Starts from the center of the face, then spreads to the outer parts. Light circular movements with a brush will allow more even application and coverage. Mineral makeup gives a natural and fresh look, making it ideal for everyday use.

Apply eye shadows by tapping across the entire cap, then blend the edges lightly toward the outside.

If you are looking for quality mineral makeup with which you will not have to compromise on texture, coverage and durability, try Jane Iredale cosmetics. I've been loyal to them for a long time, and my favorite Jane Iredale powders are Liquid Minerals® Foundation mineral liquid powder that slides on the skin and can be used as a powder or as a corrector. It also contains aloe vera.

Then there's PurePressed® Base Mineral Foundation mineral anti-inflammatory and soothing skin. It has excellent pigmentation and reduces the appearance of the pores.

bareMinerals is another favorite brand that has beautiful products. I adore their Corrector / Illuminator Stroke of light eye brightener, which you can see in this video in this video, then a BarePRO Performance Wear Pressed Powder Foundation, which has a lot of coverage and is very long-lasting on the skin. The highlighters are great also - the Invisible Glow powder highlighter and Pure Radiance highlighter.

GloMinerals is another brand that has good mineral products. They cover all skin types with different lines and can be used after various cosmetic treatments and even plastic surgery.

Also pay attention to Youngblood, which has excellent powders, lipstick products and highly pigmented shades.
