7 Benefits of Mineral Makeup

by Deborah on May 16th, 2008

For the past two years I’ve been using a mineral based powder foundation over the normal supermarket liquid foundations. Since switching over to minerals, my skin is less acne prone and looks more natural. I love how light it feels and how it doesn’t leave a chin line between makeup and neck - you know the line I mean.

Here are a few benefits of mineral makeup:

1. Mineral makeup doesn’t clog the pores so you have a cleaner complexion.
2. Mineral makeup feels lighter than liquid foundations.
3. Mineral makeup is easier to blend for a more natural look.
4. Mineral makeup reflects sunlight, which of course is better for your skin.
5. Mineral makeup lasts longer than most traditional foundations, and even lasts over night in many cases.
6. Mineral makeup is waterproof.
7. Mineral makeup only needs a once daily application - Though I do touch up if I’m going out in the evening too.
