As mineral makeup is on the rise in cosmetics I am finding many reasons that this is a new found love among women. Many individuals strive to live a healthy lifestyle in the foods they eat, and they are now trying to incorporate more botanicals and mineral based ingredients in their personal care products.
Mineral makeup occurs naturally in the earth and generally undergoes extensive purification and processing before they are incorporated into a cosmetic product. Here are some of the major benefits that I love about mineral makeup:
- Provides intense color
- Colors stay true
- Fade resistant
- Protects against wrinkle-causing free radicals
- Lightweight texture
- Extended wear
- Applies smoothly and evenly
- Provides a luminous finish
- Oil absorbing
- Crease resistant
I have recently switched to mineral makeup for my eye shadows, cheek color and finishing powder, and I have to say that I have found all of the above to be true! In the past I have had trouble with my shadows creasing in the crease of my eyelid and my cheek color fading. Since I have switched, all of these concerns have gone away! Plus, I have a much more natural cosmetic product!

TIP: Quick and Easy Eye Shadow Application
- Apply a highlighter shade all over the lid, from lash line to brow bone.
- Apply a mid-tone or accent shade from the lash line blending right above the crease, leaving the inner corner of the lid with the lighter shade to add highlighting to the shadowy corner of the eye.
