After the initial post on the mineral makeup products ( if you missed it, check it out here) , we at YST are back with the same topic and this time we try to answer the question – Should we go in for mineral makeup or not…is it really that good?

Well, while mineral makeup does have some ingredients that are similar to the ingredients in normal makeup, it does eliminate irritants like fragrances and preservatives etc..Also, it is said that mineral makeup does not clog pores and consequently is better for people suffering from acne problems.

Before buying mineral makeup one should always check the ingredients, there are some ingredients one should definitely avoid…these are : Parabens,Ferric Ferrocyanide, Bismuth Oxychloride, Talc : should be negligible

The ingredients that your mineral makeup should have are: Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Iron Oxides, Kaolin.

So whats the final word…we are still reserving our judgment as we at YST would like to review all the products in the mineral makeup arena, so do keep tuned in to know what all brands offer mineral makeup and which ones do we think are the best.

How many of us use mineral makeup ? very few if our estimates at YST are correct… well let us shed a little light on this new trend that everyone seems to be talking about….Mineral Makeup is the latest rage in skin care these days. Mineral Makeup Products are made of natural and finely ground minerals of the earth.

Mineral Makeup products don’t have any preservatives or chemicals that are found in traditional makeup products, so in effect the mineral makeup look is a much more natural look than that is achieved by the products that we are using these days. Another benefit is that mineral makeup does not clog one’s skin pores and hence is very good for people who have sensitive skin.

The most popular from all the mineral makeup products are the loose powder foundations and blushes. These are light, finely ground loose minerals that are buffed into the skin using a wide, fluffy brush.

All said…should one go in for mineral makeup?

Well it is said that the best makeup is one that lasts as long as one wants and without any retouching and the perfect makeup also doubles up as a sunscreen which is what experts say that mineral makeup does..it lasts long and doubles up as a sunscreen. Also, mineral makeup products have long shelf life.

So seems like mineral makeup should definitely be tried…well for that we’ll bring you all the companies that make mineral makeup products..keep tuned in for our next edition on mineral makeup.
