Benefits of Mineral Makeup

Lately, some readers have been writing to me asking my thoughts on mineral makeup. Is it really worth the hype?
In short: YES. I can honestly say that since switching from heavier liquid foundations to mineral ones, my skin has been reborn, revitalized, and healthier than ever.
This is largely because mineral makeup is made from naturally occurring pigments from the earth. It won’t clog your pores, and thus, you ain’t going to break out from it – making it perfect for light coverage for all types of sensitive skin.
I also love it because it is great for the inner-artist we all have. I love to take different shades of mineral shadow and mix and match it to create new shades! You can totally do this by putting a few drops in the palm of your hand and just mixing it up. Same is true for blushes and bronzers. And, you can use your favorite shadow as a liner too! The possibilities are truly limitless!
And, so, try it now – and if you have any needs for recommendations on brands/products to try, drop me an email any time!

Hi, Aly. Do you have any recommendations for very dry, high altitude climates like Denver? I used mineral make-up in CA and loved it, but the ones I’ve tried in CO don’t work very well. It’s too dry here.
Many times i heard about mineral makeup but i didn’t know about this makeup and also i wanted to know the benefits of mineral makeup. Thanks for sharing good information about mineral makeup. i am sure it will helps those who just came into beauty world.
why must you write a lovely article and use the word “ain’t”??
