Mineral makeup

Mineral makeup contains in its formula very fine mineral powders such as: Titanium Dioxide, Bismuth Oxychloride, Mica, Ferrous and Zinc Oxides, etc.

Mineral makeup is already used in the US and Europe and now countries like Brazil, bring this new in products that until then used the diamond and gold dust in their compositions.

Made by extracting the purest and finest mineral powders, free of preservatives, flavorings and heavy pigments, mineral makeup is naturally hypoallergenic and can be applied to sensitive and oily skin. The purity of the minerals offers a greater affinity for the skin's Ph, which gives great coverage and natural finish.

The difference between mineral and conventional makeup is basically the coverage offered. It is worth remembering that in mineral makeup you can not achieve as uniform coverage or better response in pigment as conventional, so chronic dark circles, spots or marks are better disguised with the application of conventional makeup. One is no better than the other, the difference is only in the composition.

The application of mineral makeup should be more careful, because basically all products have their presentation in loose powder format, which can carry or leave excess. Those who choose this type of makeup should invest in good brushes that facilitate the application and give a light and natural coverage.

Mineral makeup should be applied on the face in a circular motion from the inside out. The neck and neck also apply the powder for brightness control and tone uniformity.

This type of makeup is not very suitable for mature skin, since it does not contain sunscreen and its presentation is almost generally powder, which can carry and highlight the lines of expression. Therefore, prefer a liquid cover as it is as light and thin as possible. For the control of brightness, you can choose a face powder (now yes, the mineral is indicated!) That should be applied only in zone T (forehead, nose and chin) and remember to touch up this product whenever there is need, for example to have oily skin, hot flashes or even for brightness control.
