We are going to look beyond all of the advertising pomp and circumstance to see what's really there. Cosmetic companies have promised everything but the moon as it pertains to their products and we were sadly disappointed with their products.
All About Mineral Makeup
Mineral makeup has been around since the late seventies. It is only in the past fifteen years of so that women have really taken an interest in it. And the results are in, many women love it. There is something about mineral makeup that has women throwing away their traditional makeup and opting for a more natural makeup.
You may be wondering exactly what these minerals are. There are countless minerals in the world so which ones are they using? Most mineral makeup contains three basic minerals: mica, iron oxides, and titanium dioxide. There are others, but these three remain constant. Some formulations also contain bismuth oxychloride. It is not a mineral found in nature but its pearl-like appearance gives our cheeks that glow we all want.
About Traditional Makeup
Today, makeup comes in countless shades and formulations. There is pressed and loose powder, makeup pencils, liquid foundation, and lipstick. Most traditional makeup contains fillers to prolong the shelf life of the makeup.
We are told not to wear our makeup to bed. Besides the fact that we will wake up with our face imprinted on our pillow, most traditional makeup clogs the pores. Sleeping in the makeup doesn't allow the skin to breathe and that can cause skin irritations.
Anyone who has worn traditional makeup has certainly noticed the heaviness. Layering on foundation, blush, eye shadow, and mascara can begin to feel unnatural. Traditional makeup doesn't always hold up well in warm weather, so we have to reapply the makeup if we want anyone to be able to see it.
