Minerals Makeup: Give Your Face A Treat!

Mineral Makeup Gains Ground

My wife went to school for cosmetology and spends a considerable time tracking the latest trends in the beauty industry. She attends the local beauty supply store at least every week and is required to attend ongoing training classes. When I recently came across an article on mineral makeup, and I thought I'd spotted something first. Assuming a negative response, I asked her if she'd ever heard of it.

She proceeded to tell me all the wonderful virtues of mineral cosmetics. Apparently, whenever she visits the beauty supply store, these mineral makeup products sell like hotcakes (her own words).

This growing trend seems in line with the organic and wellness stores and product. So why the natural makeup craze? Well, women love it for two main reasons.

For starters, mineral cosmetics aren't composed of the traditional gunk of over-the counter makeup. Mass marketed cosmetics are often produced synthetically and contain loads of chemicals. These compounds are often harmful to your complexion. It then becomes an endless cycle: women must wear an increasing amount of makeup to cover up the blemishes caused by the previous application.

The second reason is at the heart of it: mineral makeup makes women look more pleasing. Now it is hard to prove this scientifically, but my wife -- along with countless other women -- swear that a woman's complexion resembles that of airbrushed model when wearing mineral makeup. Obviously natural minerals are much better for the skin. But the real draw is the brilliant beauty that results from these natural substances.

There are a number of manufacturers of mineral cosmetics. One thing you will soon discover is these are priced noticeably higher than traditional makeup. More and more women are willing to pay the premium to protect and beautify their faces.
