Beware and Compare…
Not All Mineral Makeup is Created Equal! Before you make a decision to wear mineral makeup, do your homework and make sure the formula you choose can pass these tests for purity and performance: * Compare formulas by placing a small amount of the loose minerals on the inside of your arm. See how much coverage you can get. § Compare color vitality; the skin should look radiant, not flat or gray. The product should be incredibly easy to blend with a sponge or professional makeup brushes § Place both arms under running water. Does the product stay on and maintain full coverage? § Check the ingredient list. If the formula contains talc, it is NOT a pure mineral makeup. Many mineral makeup lines add a few minerals in their formula and call it a mineral makeup but lack the research and experience to support the claims. A true mineral makeup formula is free of oils, talcs, alcohols, dyes, binders, fillers and heavy preservatives § Check the micronization process. Pressed minerals should have the same quality and intensity of color as loose minerals. To do this properly, they should be micronized between six to twelve times and the coverage should be intense, more so than the loose because of the binder, organo silicone. Pressed minerals should NOT have black flecks in it after use, but should maintain its consistency until the pan is empty. If black flecks are visible, the minerals were NOT micronized properly § Minerals are not soluble in water – which means you can swim or perspire without reapplying. *ww.mineralfacefx.co Last edited by NyoKa : 06-12-2007 at 12:24 PM.
