Mineral makeup brands literally invade anywhere they go – seriously! I just can confidently say that the effects of mineral makeup on anyone can cause everyone to say wow. This time, mineral makeup invades Whole Foods Market, with Mineral Fusion.

After I have watched the video-makeover of Mineral Fusion on the Whole Foods Market website, the brand got me interested. Jen Gaum , Mineral Fusion expert and makeup artist ( I pressume ), did a great job in introducing mineral makeup to the viewers, as well as answering questions about mineral makeup.

I have an ounce of silica here lying in my vanity kit, and after ignoring it for a few months, I finally found use for it again!

I’ve been using it as my oil control primer, and finishing powder, and I think it controls oilies really well. It makes my pores look smaller and reflects really good that makes my skin look really smooth. I’m not a chemistry major, but I have found this information about silica,

Mineral Makeup Ingredient : Silica is Great With Oil Control!

After trying Milan Mineral’s Oil at Bay, my next stop is the Perfect Presentation. Based from what I read in the site, its sericite-based. Sericite coming from the Latin word Sericus , meaning silken. I emailed Candace and she mentioned there is also mica there.

It was advertised as “ Airbrush in a jar”. Sounds good right? I think so too. The word airbrush brings to my mind images of skin perfection.

Mineral Makeup Review: Milan Minerals’ Perfect Presentation

I’m not a big fan of traditional multipurpose makeup, or makeup that can be used on your eyes, lips, and face. Its consistency doesn’t work well for all three areas. Plus, it can look sticky on the eyes, dry on the lips, and streaky on the cheeks. While multipurpose makeup seems practical, I believe that there’s a better alternative – multipurpose mineral makeup.

Multipurpose mineral makeup takes versatility to a whole new level. It can be used as eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, eyeliner, nail color, body shimmer, and even hair mascara. It’s easy to mix multipurpose mineral makeup into other kinds of makeup because its consistency is loose and powder-like. Best of all, multipurpose mineral makeup doesn’t irritate your skin, because it’s made of minerals.

Mineral Makeup Review : Milan Minerals’ Oil at Bay

A week ago, I was asked by a friend on how her mineral makeup would stay put on her skin. Considering it was a really great brand that she was already using, I was surprised, and asked her what happened. It turns out that her skin was extremely oily like mine, and she uses only mineral foundation. I told her that she needed a finishing powder to further control her oilies for it was an extra step for oily-skinned people like me, had to take.

Applying an oil control finishing powder would sure help control your oily skin while wearing mineral makeup, as it would definitely be a big help in making it stay put. I would most recommend to use the sandwich method for this.

How do we do the sandwich method? Here are the steps. Continue Reading »
