Is Mineral Makeup Really Better?

By: Suzan Luttrull Home | Self-Improvement


Mineral makeupâ€it's the latest cosmetic craze and all you read about in the beauty magazines. But just what is mineral makeup and does it warrant all the praise it's getting?

Mineral makeup is makeup made from all-natural minerals that have been pulverized into a powder. Known for its light feel and pure formulations, mineral makeup has been touted as being especially good for sensitive skin. Many people find that it is less irritating than its filler-filled, preservative-packed counterparts. It allows the skin to "breathe" while still providing good coverage and even, shine-free color.

A Healthy Glow from Natural Ingredients
Most types of mineral makeup are made with zinc oxide and titanium oxide. These ingredients are found in many sunscreens and offer the added bonus of natural sun protection. They can give your regular sunscreen cream a beneficial boost.

Radiant, Younger Looking Skin
Mineral makeup does not clog pores and can actually have a calming, anti-inflammatory effect on the skin which can be helpful for people with acne or rosacea. The makeup offers buildable, even coverage that looks natural and flawless and contains minerals that reflect light which can reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles and large pores. You look refreshed and radiant.


Lasting Coverage
Mineral makeup has staying power and is water resistant. It lasts long, even through tears, sweat or rain so even in a thunderstorm your skin will look as fresh and pretty as a bright summer day.

Types of Mineral Makeup
From loose powders to lipsticks, women today have a multitude of mineral makeup choices. If you're new to mineral makeup and want a taste of what it can do for your appearance, Aqua Elements by Lauren Hutton is a good starting point. The company calls its collection the "first water-mineral makeup." Created by world renowned model Lauren Hutton and designed especially for women over age 35, Aqua Elements provides matte, natural-looking coverage that protects skin against free radicals in the environment.

The mineral makeup collection contains makeup made with Lauren's proprietary formula featuring unique stone mineral elements that have been clinically shown to have anti-aging and anti-oxidant benefits. The makeup also has oil absorbing ingredients and silica beads that help skin stay moisturized. The Aqua Elements includes loose powder foundation, tinted lip balm, a lip pencil, a powder brush and an instructional brochure.

For an effortlessly beautiful look, mineral makeup is the natural choice.
