Merely A Mineral Makeup Madness?

Posted by Arlene Sherman, President on September 2, 2010

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!

Initially I thought I was buying a mineral makeup and cosmetics company.  You know, to keep myself out of trouble…build an empire.  I was particularly interested in the  Affordable Mineral Makeup Company because its mineral makeup products have no harmful ingredients.  Little did I know that once I started doing my research about makeup and cosmetics that I would become so appalled and really mad at how our health is not even a minute consideration to so many of the cosmetics companies.

So although I have had bouts of madness about things before, my newest madness is getting the word out about the potentially harmful chemicals in makeup and baby products.  And believe me, it is not merely a mineral makeup madness.  It is a major, full blown lunacy…but…it is devoted, intense and desperate.  Everyone needs to watch The Story of Cosmetics video to understand more about this important issue.  Wow, help me get the word out.  Can you?

Benefits of Using Mineral Makeup

Posted by Administrator on May 22, 2010

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!
