I thought that mineral makeup was just huge in the U.S., moreso in the Philippines. When I landed in Singapore, I already packed full sizes of my favorite mineral foundations, mineral blushes, and ziploc baggies of my favorite multipurpose minerals.

I’ve often been asked – what are mineral illuminizers?

Mineral illuminizers are loose mineral powder, often finely milled, with translucent effects just like finishing powders, only with added glow. The glow is so fine that it is not considered glittery, so the glow looks very natural, and very much coming from within.

Using Mineral Illuminizers

Even before mineral makeup was introduced to the market, loose powders have been there for quite a while, as something to set makeup. Loose powder was also something that is worn by those who have flawless and low maintenance skin to begin with, just to give it a more polished and neater look.

There are also loose powders that promise superb oil control properties that control shine all throughout the day. But most of the time, loose powders are there to set makeup. Specially for full coverage makeup, when a liquid, or cream foundation is used, the loose powder is used last to make the skin feel velvety, smooth, polished, and all even.

Good thing that mineral makeup is here, with ingredients helpful to the skin and non-comedogenic, as well as non-harming to the skin with the absence of the ingredient talc. For my makeup schooling, when they ask me to get loose powder, I just whip up whatever mineral loose powder I have to use on my model, because mineral loose powder, in my opinion, can be more fine, skin friendlier, and can dew up into a fabulous, dewy finish as skin oxidizes as minutes or hours pass by.

From the huge success of Manila’s Mineral Makeup Weekend last year, we’re definitely bringing it back! It’d be so exciting to see mineral makeup addicts drag along their friends and introduce them into mineral makeup. Mineral makeup is such a wonderful thing to share because it’s absolutely safe for everyday use, it’s beneficial to the skin, and it’s not too expensive as well! Most of all, it brings forth better looking skin without looking like makeup at all, that further boosts self confidence that I embrace it with all my heart for it changed my life, first and foremost. I began to love me when I started using mineral makeup. *wink*

Anyway, for details, my lovelies, read on!

First, let me just say that I love, love, love mineral makeup. I have a stack of makeup here that aren’t mineral that I use for shoots or weddings because mineral makeup in loose form’s messy, but then, loose mineral makeup is still my favorite kind.
