What is a good Mineral Cosmetics?


Recently extensively distributed fashion on all natural. Natural products, natural fabrics ... And there is a natural beauty? Our answer is - yes! For example, mineral makeup contains only natural ingredients.
As is not difficult to guess from the title, mineral makeup is largely composed of different minerals. The basis of mineral makeup - white mica (sericite) . She is responsible for the texture of mineral makeup, making it the most natural finish.Thanks to the reflective ability of sericite mineral makeup matting the skin, ridding it of shine, reduces pores without clogging them and disguises wrinkles.


Also mineral makeup contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide . These substances protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation type A and B. They are able to provide an SPF of 15. Zinc oxide, in addition to protection from ultraviolet radiation, slightly dries oily skin and has antiseptic properties.
Of course, decorative mineral makeup can be a variety of colors. Colour Mineral Cosmetics give compounds such as iron oxide (red, brown, yellow and black colors), chromium oxide (green shade), indigo (dark blue shade),ultramarine (purple, green and blue shades), carbon fiber and aluminum sulfosilikaty (range of colors from blue to pink), etc.

Mineral makeup is persistent, which she gives boron nitride . Also, this mineral absorbs sebum and makes the skin effect of the inner glow. silk powder , produced from silk cocoons, moisturizes the skin and matting, easy to apply makeup, and also has antibacterial properties.

Mineral makeup shines and shines through the content of diamond powder and pearlescent micro (colored particles of mica). The smallest powder of precious metals or precious and semiprecious stones makes the skin glow, evens tone and it has antiseptic properties.

Mineral makeup is not to be confused with makeup containing minerals. This mineral makeup contains no artificial colors, fragrance, talc, alcohol, preservatives and mineral oils. This is good, and mineral makeup. It is easy to apply, soothes and heals the skin, absorbs sebum. Mineral makeup does not clog pores and gently camouflages fine lines, and its moisturizing properties may prevent their further occurrence. And about the natural protection from ultraviolet radiation, we have already mentioned.

Mineral makeup does not cause allergies and is suitable for people with soft sensitive skin. It gives your skin a natural look that will continue regardless of the lighting. Due to its structure, mineral makeup does not cause discomfort. It is stable, not rolls, but its effectiveness remains constant under all weather conditions. Mineral makeup is stored for a long time due to its natural composition. It is applied in very small quantities, so you can be assured that it will suffice for long.

However, mineral makeup has its drawbacks . The color scheme of mineral makeup gives the usual color cosmetics, because the natural minerals that are used for its color, are unable to provide a full range of colors.Mineral makeup is applied with special brushes with thick and short hair. They will help you make the perfect make-up, but often are ordinary brush harder and can damage the skin.

Mineral makeup is applied only to the prepared skinCleansed skin of face and causing a moisturizer, wait until it is completely absorbed. Swelling, redness, under eye circles and pimples are disguised by concealer. In order to effect a maximum concealer, it must be one tone lighter than your skin. The same applies to the powder. The fact that mineral makeup can react with oxygen and become darker.

Loose mineral powder applied with a brush in the direction of the cheekbone to the nose in a circular motion.Note that mineral makeup (shadow, blush, powder) has a denser texture than usual, so it should be much smaller. Loose mineral cosmetics falls evenly, so it's better to give preference to her. Mineral makeup is applied only to special brushes, sponges and pads not be used!

Mineral cosmetics - ideal for those who are accustomed to using only high quality natural products.

I tested for you: mineral makeup


Mineral makeup is a little trick THE trend of the moment. Everyone talks about it, whether in women's magazines or on blogs girl. Intrigued by the thing, I was very anxious to see more of what it was ready. Needless to say when a lovely Sephora representative asked me to send me a kit, I jumped at the chance!

Mineral makeup, what is it?

If in France, he landed? sentence, he is widely acclaimed for US few years. Yes, but you may ask?! Certainly, it is more important to know that this type of makeup is composed of minerals mined, it contains no preservatives, perfumes, or grease. All natural, it has the advantage of agreeing? all skin types - especially sensitive skin - and acts as a soothing treatment. Suffice to say it looks pretty hefty the little guy.

Great, but worth the mineral makeup?

While some are skeptical, I'm not. And not because I received the free kit, it is needless to say? Oh course, I have a few caveats:

  • the application time. For a true complexion of a gazelle, it takes at the very least a good 5 minutes. And God knows 5 minutes are precious in the morning!
  • the aspect of "care" of the skin: the? I confess I have not seen exactly what it was. My skin is beautiful, but it has always been (oh okay, if you can not even laugh two minutes on a Monday morning ..!)
  • Price: to equip you, count less than 65 € for the complete kit (1 revitalizer foundation, two foundation powder, 3 brushes, a good face powder and a mineral veil). If you want to equip small? little history to be truly satisfied, you can separately purchase products on Sephora's website)

Notwithstanding, I must say that overall I'm seduced. And it takes? little:

  • my skin does not change during the day
  • the veil FINALLY gives me good looks really good looks (unlike? the famous terracotta which does not take more than a few hours on my cheeks, damn)

And I like my little morning ritual. Sprinkle, tap, mixer helps me? make my mornings more sparkling. Although for that, I have to get up 5 minutes early .. For God knows if I need sparkling morning right now!
