IS MINERAL MAKEUP BETTER FOR YOUR SKIN?

Ranked #12,612 in Fashion & Beauty, #243,247 overall

HERE'S WHAT I THINK

Mineral Makeup is Better for You and Your Skin!

Mineral makeup, created from naturally occuring minerals rather than man-made chemicals, is more healthful and better for your skin, while it does as well as or better than standard chemical-laden makeups at beautifying and covering skin blemishes.

Below you can tell us if you've used mineral makeup, whether you think mineral makeup is worth the container it comes in, vote for your favorite brand of mineral makeup, and even add your personal review of your favorite - or least favorite - brand.

I loved Mineral Makeup so much I developed my own brand, ME Naturally Mineral Makeup! (www.me-naturally.com) I have Rosacea and it really helps calm my skin, and provides full coverage at the same time. I will never go back to traditional makeup. My sensitive skin loves minerals. If you have sensitive skin I recommend you research the ingredients in your current makeup and make the switch!

I switched and am never going back! I love the way it goes on and the way it makes my skin feel. Fewer breakouts, too!
