Mineral Makeup – Advantages and Disadvantages

Different people have different views about mineral makeup. Some find them really amazing while others find them rather disappointing. Personally, I feel mineral makeup is a perfect balance natural makeup and chemical makeup.

I have recently been using ‘i.d. BareMinerals’ which is a makeup line started by a USA Company ‘Bare Escentuals’ the most. Many women all over the world have been using this makeup line and I have read many interesting mineral makeup reviews.

Advantages

‘bareMinerals’ products being made from crushed ores and minerals found in the earth’s crust are natural, non-toxic and safe for hair and skin. Also these products are devoid of pesticides, insecticides and have a longer lasting shelf life.

These products are very light weighted as they come in loose powder form and also use special, clinically proven active ingredients which take beauty makeup a step ahead. These products are extremely easy to apply and being translucent, they give you a natural and almost virgin like look. What has actually made these products so popular is the special mineral oxide called ‘titania’ which provides the attractive shimmer to these products.

These products are suitable for all skin tones and skin types and help to keep your skin looking healthy and glowing all day long. These products indeed make your skin feel as smooth as silk.

Disadvantages

Though the advantages of these products are so many that they outweigh the disadvantages, many of you would like to know the cons as well.

Some women having dry skin often complain of itchiness on the usage of mineral makeup while women with oily skin do not like the shimmer and shine ‘bareMinerals’ products provide.

According to some cosmetics advice women with dark spots, scars and wrinkles require more coverage, whereas mineral makeup provides very light coverage.

Damaging effects are also caused on human anatomy by certain oxides in mineral makeup if absorbed into skin or inhaled via nostrils.
