Mineral Powder, anyone????

Here are some mineral powder to go... Actually just bought them recently for myself to try out and to find out whether I am suitable for it. But now I have no choice but to put on hold, since I am seeking new owner for my samples as well post all my others on hold barang barang. Colour I got are mainly for warm, tan and yellow base skin colour tone.


Don't know how to apply mineral powder, here are some step by step directions:



-Make sure skin is dry and clean.

-Gently tap a small amount of mineral powder onto the lid of the jar.


-Swirl your brush around the lid until the minerals are completely infused into the brush.



-Tap the brush lightly to remove any excess powder.

-Use gentle circular strokes to work in your foundation makeup along your jaw line and move inward towards the centre of your face.

-Re-apply according to the amount of desired coverage.

-You will achieve a more natural, flawless finish if you build up several light layers by repeating steps 1 to 4 again.

Main ingredients are:

Titanium Dioxide: An opaque, white mineral that is used for its light-reflecting capabilities offering a full spectrum sunshield from both UVA and UVB rays.

Mica: A common mineral that can add luster and a silky texture to a shadow or foundation.

Iron Oxides: Natural mineral pigments that give our makeup its beautiful colours as well as its long wearing quality.

Zinc Oxide: A healing mineral that assists in reducing inflammation and provides a full spectrum sunshield from both UVA and UVB rays.

And may contain:

Ultramarine Blue: A clay that has been heated to a very high temperature which is a process that was used by the Egyptians. They achieved both blue and yellow pigments using this technique.

Ferric Ferrocyanide: A synthetic, non-irritating blue pigment used to coat mica.

Kaolin Clay: A soft clay insoluble in water, used for oil-absorption. Assists in removing old sebum that is clogged in pores.

Serecite: Purified, untreated, uncoated mica.

Loose mineral foundation can be blended with your favourite cream to create a cream foundation. First moisturize as usual, then tap a small amount of powder into the palm of the hand. Add a drop of moisturizer. Blend the two products together until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved. Use your fingers or make-up wedge to apply.

Actually mineral makeup is similar to loose powder but they have better coverage. Plus they are good and natural to our skin. I have tried using it and find it rather good but since now I am taking a break from most skin care products and makeup in prevention of more white heads outbreak, when my face gets better will try them again! Really cannot wake for my face to get better. Hope my this coming Sunday facial appointment, my beautician can help me get rid all the WHITE HEADS!!!
