Many women enjoy the instant results that makeup provides to their appearance.  Unfortunately, not all makeup is healthy for your skin.  Be aware that the makeup you are applying to your face could be causing the problems you are trying to cover up!  What is the solution to this quandry?  First you must realize that every person has different skin....and what works for one may not work for others.  Many women have found mineral makeup  is the best choice for their skin.

Mineral makeup is made from natural and pure minerals from the earth.  It has a more consistent texture than traditional makeup which is helpful when applying to the face and skin.  Because the makeup is pure, your skin is not exposed to harmful synthetic chemicals found in many cosmetics.  This is extremely important if your skin is oily, overly dry  or you have certain skin conditions.

Mineral makeup is perfect for daily use because studies have shown this does not leave the residue that traditional makeup does to clog your skin pores.  In addition to this, most mineral makeup also contains a natural SPF to help protect your skin from the sun's rays.

Most women have experienced the problems of makeup getting get and running when they take a dip in the pool.  After the swim they have to go reapply their makeup.   Mineral makeup will eliminate that worry for you and it will not even run during the hot summer days!

Mineral makeup is offered by many different companies.  It also comes in various size, color and types so you have plenty of choices when shopping.   You need to read the label carefully before buying to make sure it is a pure product.  Here are some quick guidelines to look for:

1.  Check the ingredients....if you see bismuth, parabens or talc you may want to pass as these can be harmful to your skin.

2. Try the makeup on your skin...if it develops an itch...move on to a different brand.

3.  Value - are you paying for the content or the designer name and bottle?  Make sure you get a value for your dollar by comparing the content.

4.  Price - compare prices among different brands.  You will find they can range from $10 - $50 for similar products so it pays to shop.

You can find thousands of mineral makeup products including: concealers, blushes, eyeshadows, eyeliners, foundations and so much more!  If you still have concerns about mineral makeup, consult your dermatologist and they will help you determine what is best for your skin.   

One of the best investments you can make for your makeup collection is a good makeup brush.  A quality brush will apply the makeup totally differently than other brushes.  Too many people just use the inexpensive brushes that are included in their cosmetic kits.  Get a new brush for your mineral makeup and you will see the results!
