Minerals in cosmetics
Minerals with their pigmentations and iridescences have always been used in cosmetics.
There is evidence of the use of mica powder as early as Ancient Egypt.
Abandoned for a long time, it has recently returned to the fore because it is effective and completely ecological and dermocompatible.
Thanks to modern technologies, mineral makeup has been purified of all supposedly problematic substances to a 100% pure and very simple composition.
Even though it is in powder form, it does not clog pores: the skin does not tighten and breathes, it will be as if it did not have it!
Mineral make up
Mineral makeup is loose powder makeup for the entire face , and the INCI , the list of ingredients, only includes:
- Not at all
- Ferrocyanide
- Chromium Oxide
- titanium dioxide
- Kaolin Clay
- Manganese Violet
- Silica
- Ferric
- Iron Oxides
- Aluminum Borosilicate
- Tin Oxide
- Ultramarines
- Calcium.
Colored oxides and bright micas are expertly mixed to create unique colors.
All the minerals used do not interfere with the physiological functions of the skin.
Mineral make up is the most eco-friendly of all, being composed only of ingredients of natural origin that do not pollute. No synthetic ingredients, no silicone, no PEG and parabens. In addition, it is completely vegan , it has no ingredients of animal origin.
It is anhydrous , meaning it does not contain water and therefore does not require preservatives as there cannot be bacterial proliferation and contamination.
Perfect for reactive , delicate and sensitive skin because it does not contain allergens and irritants. Skin rashes, itching and redness are therefore avoided.
Mineral makeup does not make the skin greasy but rather has a natural matte effect, suitable for everyone but perfect for young, oily and combination skin.
They are cheap ! Yes, they last a long time and you only use a small amount due to the high pigmentation!
The choice to use mineral makeup is a conscious choice towards the safety of a product suitable for all skin types, versatile and eco-organic.
How to apply mineral makeup
The trick to these makeups? Freedom! They are mixable and versatile makeups, you can use a blush as an eyeshadow, mix colors and create new makeups!
Mineral makeup can be applied with the fingertips or with the special brushes.
They can be used dry or wet , in this way the color will be more vivid, intense and pigmented. To do this, just wet the brush and apply the makeup.
Choose specific products, such as Sunset Fix&Fresh Purobio Cosmetics, which is a fixing spray for makeup but is also perfect for wetting the brush to intensify powder products.
Don't just think about shades, bold lines are also perfect, like eyeliner. Just use a damp brush specifically for applying them.
To apply mineral foundation, it is a good idea to get a special brush: the kabuki . A flat or rounded brush with very dense bristles that allows for perfect and even application!
As a general rule, it is always best to use the right brush for the application area.
To fix your makeup and have it perfect for hours and hours, from morning to night, use a fixative like Nebbia Fissante Neve Cosmetics
It doesn't end here :) if you are a fan of liquid products then the best thing you can do is add mineral foundation to your favorite moisturizer. You will have a perfect creamy foundation!
Mineral makeup can also be added to a transparent gloss to create the color we like best and even to nail polishes to obtain a personalized shade.
