And while mineral makeup comes in a variety of forms – and at prices ranging from less than $10 to more than $50 per product -- undoubtedly the most popular in all price ranges are the loose powder foundations and blushes. These are light, finely ground loose minerals that are buffed into the skin using a wide, fluffy brush.

Like most cosmetic products, mineral makeup has its fans and its critics. Those who love it rave about the light, natural, long-lasting glow that simply can't be duplicated by other types of makeup. Others, however, complain it's drying, irritating, and accentuates wrinkles and adds years to your appearance. Some say the colors have an ashy undertone that is a particular problem for ethnic skin types.

But looks aside, many consumers also say they are initially drawn to try mineral makeup because of skin health claims – more specifically, that it's pure formulations are safer and better for sensitive, even acne- or rosacea-prone skin.

Moreover, it’s because titanium dioxide [and zinc oxide] have anti-inflammatory properties, certain mineral makeups can also have a calming effect on the skin, particularly important if you suffer from inflammatory problems such as rosacea or acne.

Be sure to apply your minerals to clean, dry moisturized skin to evenly blend pigments. For blemishes: Use a smaller brush (concealer brush works well)to apply a small amount of concealer or foundation to problem area and blend well. For Foundation-Tap a small amount of minerals into the lid and swirl your brush into it. Tap the brush head and allow excess to fall into lid. This settles powder into the brush head(you should not see minerals on brush head). Firmly buff(see below) powder onto your face. To Buff-Use a firm touch, and in a circular motion, blend, or spread minerals around on the cheek, jaw line and over nose. Do this several times till you achieve that “flawless glow”. Mineral Veils- aid in the absorption, as well as a smooth photogenic "finished" touch to your look. Tap small amount of veil into lid and swirl your brush into it, tap off excess and buff. Eye Shadow-Simply dip into color, tap off excess and apply to eyelid in short strokes. Choose a lighter color as a highlighter to apply under brow. Use a darker color in the creases of your eye as a shadow or liner. For a dramatic look, dip into water first. Blush/Bronzer-Our product is so pure, just a touch will wake up a tired complexion. Place brush against sifter holes and tap jar for minerals to attach to the bristles of your brush. Tap bottom of brush to settle minerals into head and gently brush on cheek and cheek bones for blending. The only mistake you can make is to use too much.

Mineral makeup is made from 100% micronized minerals. Mica, for example, is a transparent mineral, which is mined from the earth in thin sheets. It can be opalescent and sparkling or completely matte, ranging in color from grey to blue to green. It is often treated with iron oxides to yield brilliant color effects. Due to the sheer, translucent and skin-hugging effect of the mica mineral, your natural skin tone shines through when you use our blush, facial powders or eye shadows. All of our cosmetics contain mica powder, which reflects light from the face, creating an illusion of a smoother, softer and more radiant skin tone. Fine lines are softened; skin texture appears more even and more lucid.
