I have seen how particular women are with their outward appearance. They are so conscious with what they look like, that they go to the great extent of wearing cosmetics on their daily life. Most of the women dig into the mineral foundation that soothes your skin giving their skin baby soft and silk feeling.
Within few years, cosmetic market has seen tremendous revolution considering their chemical free products and the good new is, these natural cosmetics are completely safe on your skin.
Usually mineral cosmetics don’t block the skin pores; therefore whichever mineral based cosmetic you use will be free from harmful chemical, dyes and perfumes.
Disadvantages of Normal Makeup
Normal makeup range has severe disadvantages such as:
- Exposure to harmful chemicals found in normal cosmetics
- Clogging of pores resulting to whiteheads, blackheads, acne and pimples
- Skin becomes prone towards wrinkle, showing early signs of aging
- Chemical present may create allergic reaction towards skin
Being a wonderful natural product it is ideal for skin which is already damaged or prone towards acne or allergies. Mineral based foundation works excellent on sensitive complexions and makes a great covering up towards redness and other discolouration or blemishes.
Advantages of Mineral Foundation
Here are some of the advantages of using a mineral based foundation:
- Give you crease-free coverage all day long
- No chance of fading or wearing off
- It won’t block your pores
- Allows skin to breathe
- Has built-in sun protection
- Trap moisture and keep your skin hydrated
- Easy to remove
Mineral based foundation works best when applied on clean skin i.e. free from oils and other impurities. If not it also sits best on top of a well-moisturised complexion. Firstly it is important to let your moisturiser soak into your skin then apply the foundation for proper blending. If you desire, you can build up makeup layers until you have achieved the level of coverage you want.
Using a makeup brush made from natural materials rather than a harsh synthetic one is a golden rule for an excellent makeup. As with traditional varieties, mineral based foundations are available in various forms – loose, liquid or pressed.
Loose Foundation Application
Gently swirl a brush to pick up the minerals; in a circular motions brush them onto your face starting from centre and stroke outwards. Buffing with the brush will give an even application
Pressed Foundation Application
Take a sponge, wipe it over the pressed minerals and distribute evenly on your face. If applied more keep spreading the brush evenly over your face till all lines disappear completely.
Liquid Foundation Application
You can apply with sponge or by finger tips. A sponge will give you a greater control. Put a little foundation on a make-up sponge and stroke towards the centre of your face slowly spreading outwards.
Mineral Foundation has become one of the hottest trends in the industry of fashion, beauty and film. Basically, these types of mineral cosmetics are the entirely new breed redefining your senses and imagination.
