What Are the Benefits of Mineral Powder Foundations?

Mineral powder foundation is a great alternative to heavy liquid foundations. The mineral formula is perfect for sensitive skin and the coverage can range from light to full. The ingredients are good for the skin, in contrast to many pore-clogging chemicals found in leading liquid foundations.

Ingredients

Mineral makeup is made with natural ingredients such as titanium dioxide, mica powder and iron oxides. Mineral powders are free of artificial ingredients, preservatives and harmful chemicals like talc.

Sunblock

Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, predominant ingredients in mineral powders, are natural and physical sun blocks.

Sensitive/Trouble Skin

Mineral powder is ideal for those with sensitive skin or acne-prone skin. The anti-inflammatory properties in the ingredients of the mineral makeup help calm troubled skin.

Appearance

Powder foundation is much lighter in consistency than heavy powder or liquid foundations. Other make-up can appear caked onto skin like a mask, but mineral powder allows the skin to show through. Mica, another ingredient in mineral makeup, gives the skin a radiant glow.

Coverage

This powder foundation gives the perfect coverage for every client as you can apply the powder foundation with a light hand or layer for a custom, full coverage.
