Mineral Foundation

Mineral makeups have been around for ages

While mineral foundation makeup is all the rage now, it is ironically composed of minerals that have been around for ages. The best part is, these natural minerals can help you to look ageless! Mineral foundation makeup and other mineral-based products have created a following of men and women who swear by the products for their non-irritating skin properties.

Women that were previously unable to wear the synthetic foundations that cause irritation are now finding comfort and beauty with mineral based foundations. On the other hand, women that were adamant supporters of synthetic foundations have also recently recognized the benefits of mineral foundation, which is remarkably suitable for all skin types.

Some of the mineral foundation makeup on the market today is specially formulated to treat and cover acne, having been infused with medicated particles. There are various choices as well for the woman just looking for an everyday foundation. Whether you prefer a wet or a dry foundation, mineral makeup options are available to you. Likewise, dry and wet applications of the loose variety are possible.

Common minerals found in foundations

Common minerals found in such foundation makeup include mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxides and zinc oxide. Due in part to the mineral compounds, mineral foundation makeup also moisturizes and adds sun protection, all while serving its primary purpose of being a base foundation for the remainder of your makeup. As with all foundation makeup, whether you are using a mineral based product or not, application technique is very important for how the finished product, your face, turns out.

A common benefit of a mineral based product is it seems to give the skin a sort of iridescent glow – somewhat like a sun-kissed effect. Make sure that the mineral foundation makeup you choose is well blended, just as you would with any foundation, be it liquid or another formula.

Liquid mineral foundation application tips

Liquid mineral foundations are best applied with a good foundation brush, such as Michael Todd Cosmetic’s Foundation Brush. Never skimp on the brush, for this will also deter from the beautiful finished face. Why spend on the mineral foundation and then apply it with a low quality tool? You will not be pleased with the outcome if you do. Brush in hand, make sure to pay special attention to the jaw line. This is most commonly the area where women create that awful looking color drop off between the foundation and the natural skin tone. Make sure to take the mineral foundation makeup down the neck and blend from there. You don’t have to apply all the way down the neck, but begin the layering of color in the neck area, not at the jaw line.

It is often a good idea to have both a liquid mineral foundation and a loose mineral foundation. It is then recommended to apply the loose mineral foundation over the liquid mineral foundation with a large and loose powder brush. This will really give you that beautiful sun-kissed skin glow, which exudes beauty and gives you confidence throughout your day.
