How to find the Best Mineral Makeup
Truly savvy cosmetics shoppers know that the best mineral makeup is not like all the other mineral makeup offerings. There are lots of reasons to be interested in buying mineral makeup, including:
* Mineral makeup alleviates adult acne and rosacea
* Mineral makeup comes with an all natural SPF of 15
* Mineral makeup has a lighter, more natural look
* Mineral makeup can be worn heavy or light as you prefer
* Mineral makeup is more durable than other cosmetics
* You can safely sleep in some types of mineral makeup products
However, just buying a product with the label “mineral makeup” is not enough.
To get full benefits, you need to get the best mineral makeup. This does not mean that these makeup products are the most expensive. It does mean that these cosmetics have special qualities that their counterparts do not.
Here are four ways to find the best mineral makeup on the market:
* Avoid artificial colors and fragrances - The best mineral makeup will not contain any artificial colors or fragrances. This does not mean you can only get earth tones in these products. It just indicates that fully artificial colors like “yellow dye #5” should not be present.
* Talc can be a red flag - There are many cosmetic products labeled mineral makeup because they contain talc in bulk. Talc is actually a mineral. However, it is also a common allergen and serves as a filler to bulk up makeup products. Best mineral makeup products will not contain talc.
* Always watch for Mica, Zinc and Titanium - Mica is a natural wrinkle camouflage because it reflects light out of wrinkles. You will get a natural sun protection barrier of SPF 15 thanks to zinc and titanium. These are all “earth minerals” which means that they have not been processed with chemicals.
Often the best mineral makeup contains only these and a few other components.
* Watch for short ingredients lists - The best mineral makeup products are not complex. You should always look for products that reflect this. Mineral makeup lines may contain as few as five ingredients.
For more colors, you might need a few more components. However, the rule stands that in general, simpler is better.
A little research will go a long way when you are looking for the best in mineral makeup.
