Mineral makeup comes in a variety of forms and prices but undoubtedly the most popular of all are the loose powder foundations and finishing powders. These are light, finely ground loose minerals that are buffed into the skin using a wide, fluffy brush called a kabuki brush.Mineral makeup has both fans and critics. Those who love it and others, however, who hate it and complain it's drying, irritating, and accentuates wrinkles, although, many consumers also say they are initially drawn to try mineral makeup because of skin health claim, that it's pure formulations are safer and better for sensitive, acne, or rosacea-prone skin.
The main ingredients in most mineral makeups are minerals such as mica, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide.
Because titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have anti-inflammatory properties, certain mineral makeups can also have a calming effect on the skin which is why it is said to be better for you if you suffer from inflammatory problems such as rosacea or acne.
Many dermatologists report that because mineral makeup frequently eliminates classic "irritants" – like fragrances, binders, synthetic dyes, and preservatives -- it is considered "purer" and can be kinder to the skin. It's non-comedongenic, so it won't clog pores or aggravate existing conditions.
