A Guide to Mineral Makeup Designed for All Skin Types

Did you know that the skin is your largest organ, and it absorbs literally everything from your surroundings? Conventional makeup products that contain abrasive chemicals, toxins, fillers, or other irritants are absorbed through the skin and into the body, which raises the possibility that they could cause long-term harm to your general health.

With this in mind, mineral makeup has been a soaring beauty trend over the past few years! It is a natural chemicals-free type of cosmetics, composed of minerals that can be found on the earth. Moreover, natural minerals will stay much longer when warmed up and bound to your skin’s natural oils without the use of chemicals. So, if you’re about to make a switch, the following makeup supplies can be a good starter.

Waterproof Mascara

Speaking of mineral mascaras, you may be wondering if you can get the same payoff from naturally derived formulas. Thanks to cutting-edge technology and a spate of disruptive ingredients, a long-wearing mineral waterproof mascara will give your lashes a stunning naturally voluminous look.

Additionally, switching to non-toxic alternatives can help you avoid dangerous carcinogens and hormone disruptors, making the cost well worth it. They are gentler on the eyes, which already experience enough strain in light of increased screen usage.

It’s the ideal solution for people with hooded eyelids, weepy eyes, or anyone who enjoys working out without their lashes getting ruined by sweat.

To suit the needs of consumers with sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, natural mascaras are paraben-free and combine minerals and plant-based ingredients in one. They also include moisturizing calendula extract, jojoba wax, and sunflower wax in addition to a mineral complex that also includes silicon, iron, magnesium, zinc, and copper.

The unique, all-in-one brush makes the lashes appear extremely long and voluminous with a beautiful curl while equally dispersing the nourishing nutrients from the root to the tip of the lash. This way everyone is allowed to wear mascara, regardless of how delicate their eyes are!

Thanks to its miraculous ingredients, a mineral waterproof mascara will nourish your lashes, while preserving moisture and leaving the lashes soft and flexible. Apart from using a natural volumising mascara, you can also apply some primer for fuller, longer-looking lashes.

Eyeshadow Palette

Natural eyeshadow palettes contain natural pigments that hydrate your skin and stay fixed in place, while the mica minerals offer a natural shimmer. These palettes have a smooth texture that’s easy to apply and a long-lasting natural finish.

Unlike conventional makeup products, the shimmer in natural palettes is derived from minerals and free from parabens, silicones, paraffin and microplastics as well as synthetic glitter which protects your eyes, moisturises and protects skin’s elasticity. To fix the shadows on the eyelids some natural eyeshadow palettes even contain rice powder, which absorbs excess sebum to achieve a very natural matte finish.

Another great thing about mineral palettes is their natural and healthy colour. This is due to the use of the most recent advancements in natural pigments to achieve the colour and hue that best complements the skin. It adds splashes of colour to your vision most organically and healthfully possible.

Bold Eyeliner

Just like any other natural makeup product, organic eyeliners are hypoallergenic and non-toxic, ideal for people with sensitive skin or easily irritated eyes. They’re also great for people who don’t have any issues but still want to make a healthier switch.

However, not all natural eyeliners are created equal! To create a vivid black hue, some eyeliners blend natural Aloe Vera, Black Tea Leaf extract, and pure mineral pigments. These have a very gentle precision tip that enables careful and simple application intended for very sensitive eyes.

Smooth and long-lasting eyeliners, on the other hand, are made of honeysuckle and rosemary supercritical extracts, along with organic Aloe Vera and organic Castor Seed Oil, to protect the delicate eye area from inflammation.

Older ladies, however, should choose an eyeliner that elegantly accentuates the eyelids. Natural anti-aging components including organic cranberry extract and an energizing combination of precious stones that nourish the skin at the same time are among the common ingredients founds in these eyeliners.

All those businesswomen who lack the time and skill to apply their eyeliner in the morning but want to look flawless throughout the day, should opt for a formula that is highly pigmented, smudge-resistant and has a fine brush tip applicator for seamless, easy application that lasts all day.

The Perfect Foundation

The primary purpose of the foundation was to cover the face in a thick, typically cakey layer of colour. But these days, we demand a lot more from our cosmetics, and mineral formulas are setting the standard for what a foundation can and ought to provide.

Therefore, mineral foundations are not only gentle on sensitive and allergy-prone skin, but they are also non-comedogenic, which means they won’t clog pores and cause pimples and blemishes. Perhaps, this formula should be the standard for any skincare or makeup product you use if you frequently have congestion or acne. Moreover, a mineral foundation can also help maintain skin clear and calm if dry skin is your primary concern.

Eventually, facial peels, microdermabrasion, and IPL all make your skin glow. However, leaving the salon with obvious red or blotchy skin isn’t particularly attractive in the short term.

Fortunately, a high-quality mineral foundation can be used immediately following a facial treatment and even after some procedures. Not only will it cover up any redness, but it also promotes skin healing.

Using sun protection, on the other hand, is a must when the heat turns up. The same goes for those using fake tan products. Besides using a separate SPF product, additional sun protection can’t do any harm. Since titanium dioxide is one of the main elements in the mineral foundation and acts as a natural sun filter, you won’t have to look far to locate it.
