The Benefits of Mineral Makeup

Feel confident knowing that your makeup is protecting your skin’s well-being.

How? Well, today’s blog delves into the many benefits of mineral makeup for your skin, what we here at Facial Expressions recommend when it comes to choosing mineral makeup, and the special mineral makeup-related gift-with-purchase I’ll be offering until November 30th.

“So Facial Expressions, What Are the Benefits of Mineral Makeup?”

As Vancouver’s skin care expert, I like to think of high-quality mineral makeup as an extension of healthy skin care. Thoughtfully formulated mineral makeup benefits your skin by:

• Featuring formulas for all skin types and concerns, including rosacea-soothing formulas, formulas that are gentle on acne-prone skin, and lightweight formulas well-suited for mature complexions
• Containing UV-deflecting minerals titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which actively assist in protecting skin from sun damage
• Starring buildable coverage, making it the perfect choice for both on-camera and everyday wear
• Being made up of all-natural ingredients, meaning it is the best choice on the market for those looking to invest in clean, botanical-based beauty

“What Should I Look for When Choosing My Mineral Makeup?”

As mentioned above, one of mineral makeup’s boons is its wide variety of formulas and finishes. Whether you’re seeking something sheer, full courage, matte, or luminous, there’s a mineral makeup out there for you.

Pro tip: never underestimate the power of makeup brushes when it comes to the best application of your mineral makeup. Dome brushes in particular are highly-recommended when it comes to applying loose minerals due to their precision. Looking to make your mineral makeup coverage that much more dewy and natural-looking? Top it with Jane Iredale’s Pommisst Hydration Spray!

In fact, the very best mineral makeup foundation formulas keep their ingredient list simple. What’s a good rule of thumb to use when trying to verify if a mineral makeup foundation is high-quality or not? On top of being selective with their ingredients, high-quality mineral makeup foundation excludes bismuth oxychloride, a known skin irritant that often triggers itching, rashes, and the worsening of acne.

What are Facial Expressions’ top brand recommendations when it comes to choosing mineral makeup? I’m glad you asked.
