A lot of people had been ranting about mineral make-ups, its advantages over other make-up formulations, plus the good and long term effects and benefits on the skin. A few years back, if my memory can still serve me right, one local TV channel in the country featured a documentary about MMU's since it was getting so popular in the cosmetics industry. That documentary heightened the public's curiosity even the more. Both young and old were beginning to rave about this mineral make-up thingy. There are actually a lot of mineral make-up brands and types in the market today, ranging from blushers, foundations, bronzers, lipsticks to eye-shadows, so one just gotta choose which is best for their skin types and not to mention their budgets. Mineral make-ups are said to be quite heavy on the pocket so not all can purchase. As what I've read, they're made of all natural, finely minerals from earth, no preservatives, chemicals or dyes which were previously seen in other traditional cosmetics. Of course, we can't do away that there are many product brands out there that are mineral enriched, claiming to be pure mineral make up. But beware people, this still may have fillers such as talc & other ingredients so better check the labels & ask thorough questions before buying.
Knowing all these about MMU's seems pretty great right? Well, who shouldn't? Not only are we using cosmetics that are safe and friendly to the environment but it also give favorable benefits to our skin. Now, I might as well advise everybody to shift to using mineral make-ups. Ditch the old stuffs, welcome the new one.
This is exactly what I did 8 months ago. I had been using cosmetics not mineral based before but I can say that using them were not too bad either. They did make me look neat and beautiful. That is what's important aint it? But after reading good feedbacks about mineral make-ups, I've been converted.
Now, I will be talking about the mineral make-up that I've been frequently using. Love love love!! ♥ Hmmm. I'm getting so thrilled and excited to share it to you already. =) It's a product from L'OREAL Paris and goes with the name: Bare Naturale Powdered Mineral Foundation. I guess you're pretty much familiar with the product already since this had been overly advertized both in prints and TV ads for a few years now.
I got mine from an online shop for a good price so I consider myself lucky. The shade that I had been using is Nude Beige #460. I'm glad that it matched and blended on my skin tone perfectly. The coverage is pretty much buildable. You can opt from a light to medium to heavy coverage with this product. The finish is subtle and dewy. What I just don't like about the product is their packaging and the kabuki brush that comes with it. The brush is stiff and rough on the face so I use my own kabuki brush when applying. Still, those flaws didn't matter much to me since I always get very good compliments from friends, colleagues and family members every time I wear this foundation. Of course, it made me more flattered and I can't help thinking of myself as a beautiful creature eventhough I consider myself plain-faced looking. =) Yey, now that's the magic make-up can bring.
I am very much satisfied with this product that I can see myself using more of this in the long years to come. Not only did it made my face less oily, it also made my face glow and smooth to touch. I'm loving how the product stays on my face for a few hours, I don't even need touch-ups in the middle of the day. Overall, I can rate the product with a score of 4/5. How about you guys? What mineral products are you using? Post away so we can share more ideas and thoughts about this wonderful make-up innovation. Good day everyone!
