Mineral Makeup: Why the Hype?

Just like with clothing styles, it seems like skincare fads come and go. Fortunately, lead-based makeup went out of style in the 19th century, and now people are turning to safer sources of makeup, including minerals. Mineral-based makeup has become increasingly popular due to the many benefits that it offers your skin.

At Skin Begins, our makeup specialists can help you find a mineral makeup blend that not only offers natural colors and a high SPF but also that works with your exact skin issues. We can also color-match our makeup to your specific skin tone. To learn more about our mineral makeup, please contact Skin Begins today at 713-662-3376.

How Does Mineral Makeup Work?

At their purest, mineral makeup companies take certain minerals straight from the earth, grind them into a fine powder, and then sell them as foundations, blushes, and eye shadows. This means that mineral makeup is free from substances commonly found in regular makeup, such as:

  • Dyes
  • Perfumes
  • Chemicals
  • Preservatives
  • Starches
  • Talc

Because you buff the mineral powder into your skin, this mineral form of makeup gives you light yet glowing, natural coverage.

Mineral Makeup for Sensitive Skin

Although all skin types can benefit from mineral makeup, it is especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin. Sensitive skin can be easily irritated by the perfumes, dyes, and other additives found in regular makeup, so mineral varieties offer a wonderful alternative.
