What’s Your HG Mineral Makeup To Date?

no makeup at all. Well, do you agree?

For me, I would have to agree specially when you’re going outdoors, specially if you’re not the type who wears sunscreens. The zinc oxide content of your mineral foundation would serve as your buffer against the harmful rays of the sun, as well as soothe your skin.

It Is Better To Wear Mineral Makeup Than…

Sigh, concealing is just so hard to do! Concealing would be easy if the blemish or part to be concealed is well-moisturized, and non-flaking. Flaky skin equals flaky concealing, and it also means that the concealed part can wear off and can be really noticeable.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve worked with several types of concealers, including traditional makeup concealers. My skin has been flaking on the area of the blemish and it’s really hard to keep it concealed for the whole day. Liquid concealers stay for a while, but melt after a few hours , cream concealers don’t stay at all unless they’re cream to powder finish, and well, what have I got to do but whip up my most reliable friend - my heavy coverage concealer foundation.

Mineral Concealer Still Holds Up The Best

Last Saturday, it was my first day in makeup school, and just the night before, I was all restless checking all the makeup I had. I found out that 1/3 of the stuff I had were traditional makeup, and 2/3 were mineral makeup. For the record, for over a year now, I’ve been using only mineral makeup as foundation, finishing powder, and blush. There are select ( very ) moments wherein I would try non-mineral eyeshadows ( such as MAC ), and I would shop for non-mineral lipstick sometimes just because I love the shade. The bottomline is, I’ve been very strict in using mineral makeup for my complexion, at least minerals, are first to touch my skin. My skin is far from perfect, and for over a year now, full coverage mineral foundation has simply been heaven sent. The likes of Monave, J.Lynne, Dreamworld, Milan Minerals, Cosminology, and more mineral foundations that I will encounter in my journey with mineral makeup are surely heaven-sent that it has saved me. Yes, it had saved me from my insecurity.

Mineral Makeup FOTD : Photogenic Lauress Minimalist Mineral Foundation

Let me just share a random thought that I’ve had for the day. Yes, the day never passes by without me thinking about mineral makeup *wink*. For a mineral makeup addict, or even a user, one must have at least three foundation shades.

One being a slightly lighter shade, one your current shade, and one darker shade.

The lighter shade could be a last-minute concealer that you can use just in case your concealer runs out, and a shade that you can use during the cold months when the complexion pales by a bit. I have observed that complexions tend to lighten up during the months of November and December when the weather is cold. To counter the “lightened skin” effect, great addon minerals are bronzers ( not the muddy looking ones , not too orange ) that can give some warmth to the skin.

We Need At Least 3 Mineral Makeup Foundation Shades!

We are so happy to have another addition to our awesome bunch of contributors here - I mean, more heads are definitely better than one since mineral makeup is not an objective thing to discuss - it’s very much subjective, and the “fit” varies depending on skin types, and we are glad to acknowledge that variety so that we can help everyone relate to their skin problems and mineral makeup needs.

Nikki, aside from being a mineral makeup addict, thrives in the activity called, “roadtesting samples”. Yes, she is a sample addict that wants to try all the mineral makeup possible, to find her Holy Grail - she’s that determined! She’s also leaning towards making her own , or tweaking mineral makeup with some ingredients - quite interesting, huh!

So without further ado, let me introduce you to Nikki!
