The Benefits of Switching to Mineral Makeup

Mineral makeup hasn't always been appealing, you might associate it with a chalky, grainy texture and a full coverage effect. However, times have changed. A lot.

Mineral makeup has never been more innovative, creative and, well-loved! Not only are the formulations some of the most desirable, but the skin-boosting side effects are better than ever. So, what is mineral makeup? Basically its minerals such as mica, zinc, and titanium oxide that are milled to a super-fine consistency, and then combined with pigment.

However, what is not contained in mineral makeup is what makes it beneficial. You won't find any oils, waxes, preservatives, synthetic fragrances or bulking ingredients that are used by non mineral makeup brands so that they can use less pigment, and therefore you need to use more it to get the coverage you want.

 

 

Unlike other foundations, mineral bases don't contain chemical dyes. Mineral formulations often exclude some ingredients which may cause reactions in sensitive skin types.

This skin-loving, vegan powder foundation cares as it covers, promoting clearer, healthier-looking skin over time. Customise your coverage from sheer to full with this effortlessly buildable formula that wears all day without clogging pores, causing breakouts or settling into fine lines.

 

To put it simply, this means that mineral makeup, unlike a lot of other makeup, will not clog your pores. This is because mineral makeup doesn't contain talc, which stays on the skin's surface, sinking into pores. Therefore, mineral makeup could be a good option if you suffer from enlarged pores or breakouts.

Many mineral makeup products contain zinc oxide, which, as well as being a great skin healer, is sunscreen ingredient that prevents burning and the signs of photo-ageing, and irritation.

Due to its lack of oils and waxes, mineral makeup doesn't slide off the skin. Mineral makeup is great in all climates, but its particularly great in really hot locations as it just doesn't budge, which is amazing!
