As a cosmetologist, I wanted to share some of my findings/experience with you concerning natural mineral makeup.

Natural mineral makeup has been around a few years, but it seems the
average person either hasn’t tried them, and many have never heard about
them. Basically, they are various minerals crushed to a very fine
powder and used as cosmetics. They are in a powdered type form.
The main properties of mineral makeup are gentleness, long lasting,
pure, and many have almost a healing type of action to various skin
conditions. Of course you will have to experiment to find which brands
are your favorites.
Personally, I am hypothyroid which means I have super dry skin,
alligator skin. Doesn’t matter what type of skin care products, etc. I
use, I have flaky skin. All my life, no matter what makeup I used, it
would be completely absorbed (thus disappearing) after about only 2-3
hours of wearing it. I was also very nervous about mineral makeup
because with having super dry skin I avoid powders of all kinds, plus I
was worried about it making the flakiness look even worse. I was SO
stunned when I first started using mineral makeup on my own skin. The
first thing I noticed was after 12 hours of wear, it was still there! No
makeup has done that in my entire life. The other thing I noticed was
it did not look flakey at all, but very fresh and light. Another benefit
of mineral makeup is truly it feels like you are not wearing any
cosmetics.
