Welcome back! If you would like to comment, please register and give us your thoughts about articles on Basic Mineral Makeup. Thanks for visiting again!
Hello Everybody:
Well, it is said you always remember your first, so I will remember this! I am delighted with the overwhelming response to the emails that were sent out about me. Thank you all so much for your encouragement, your comments and your orders. I had no idea that such a response would happen and I want to thank each and every one of you. I love being in a business where I have an actual hand in the beauty of my “fellow” females. This blog will also be used by the wonderful makeup artist that is coming on board. He lives in Beverly Hills and I live in South Florida so we are pretty far apart. We are making our plans for him to come here to spend some time with me so we can start our plan to be the best mineral makeup company. Period. We are psyched and rarin’ to go. With your help and the kind of support I see out there, how can we possibly miss? With Warmest Regards, Arlene

Mineral makeup has many benefits…that’s why the popularity of mineral makeup continues to rise. Women have found that their makeup can now help their skin and work with it rather than being harmful for it (like many chemical based cosmetics can be).
From a purely aesthetic viewpoint, women are going for a more natural look and with mineral makeup you can easily achieve that. Mineral makeup gives excellent coverage, while still looking natural and real, not caked on.
Mineral makeup doesn’t clog your pores, so helps keep your skin clearer and healthier. In hot & humid states (like we are here in FL), mineral makeup feels light and doesn’t feel heavy or feel like your face is melting through the day.
Mineral makeup is multipurpose, shades can be used for a wide variety of things-foundation, blush, eye shadow, highlighter, can be used on lips, nails too.
Affordable Mineral Makeup doesn’t contain potentially harmful ingredients or unnecessary ones that are often found in other commercial brands. You want to stay away from fillers, talc, chemicals, artificial colors & dyes, and preservatives.
As you can see here, the ingredients that are used in Affordable Mineral Makeup are:
- Titanium Dioxide also has waterproof and SPF properties while providing a matte look.
- Mica has some transparent properties and allows the makeup to go on smoothly.
- Iron Oxides give the makeup its pigment and helps protect your skin.
- Zinc Oxide is known for its healing properties in problem skin such as rosacea and acne, it has the ability to stay on even while sweating and swimming, as well as offers protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
If you haven’t tried mineral makeup, give it a try now!

I bet when you hear the term “Gluten Free”, you don’t automatically think of your makeup, do you?
Well, if you’re gluten sensitive you may want to. Makeup can have gluten in it.
What is gluten sensitivity?
Read here for more information.
The symptoms are usually skin rashes, itchiness, headaches, bloating/cramping. Gluten is very hard to digest and can be found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.
Gluten can be found in your makeup and other beauty products in the Vitamin E, Olive Oil, Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Oats and Triglycerides are all sources of gluten that most people wouldn’t think about when purchasing makeup and body products.
Vitamin E is used as an antioxidant and is usually derived from wheat germ. Products that contain oils in them are usually preserved with Vitamin E to prevent them from going rancid. They can also be hidden in such oils as Olive Oil, Palm Oil and Coconut Oil.
Oats are another common ingredient commonly used in beauty products, such as soap and facial products.
If you are gluten sensitive you need to be aware of these ingredients that most people may overlook in cosmetics or body products.
There’s no definitive information regarding cosmetics, body products being harmful to those who are gluten sensitive but think about this…your skin is the largest organ of your body. It usually absorbs what you put on it and thus goes into your body system. So, that would suggest that if you’re gluten sensitive you might have reactions (skin rash/itchiness) from products that contain gluten additives.
Mineral makeup that has no additives,oils and is in loose powder form is gluten free, such as the minerals offered at AffordableMineralMakeup.com

I just found out that Affordable Mineral Makeup was featured on Vegetarian Beauty Products
Vegetarian Beauty Products is an independent site dedicated to
assisting vegetarians and vegans in finding beauty products which are
both cruelty free, and free from any animal products, which would
require the taking of an animal’s life. Most of the products which we
feature and review on the site are in fact vegan, as well as vegetarian.
Vegetarian Beauty Products only reviews those products that are
demonstrated not only to be cruelty free and vegetarian, but also
which are created by companies which have demonstrated a sincere and
consistent concern for the environment, the animals, and the consumer.
