Benefits of Using Mineral Makeup

 

Once upon a time, foundation was designed to mask the face in a thick (and usually cakey) layer of color. These days, however, we’ve come to expect so much more from our makeup – and mineral formulas are leading the way in what a foundation can (and should) offer. Sure, you’ll get buildable coverage and a flawless finish – that much is a given – but here are more benefits of mineral makeup that you might not know about.

  • IT WON’T IRRITATE YOUR SKIN

Many traditional cosmetics contain synthetic ingredients, chemicals and fragrances that can irritate and aggravate your complexion. Ironic, isn’t it, that the product you’re using to make your skin look better could be the very thing that’s causing it to freak out in the first place? On the other hand, mineral makeup from Simply Jewel is free from talc, fillers and synthetic ingredients such as mineral oil, petroleum and artificial fragrances.

  •  IT HELPS KEEP YOUR COMPLEXION CLEAR

Not only is mineral makeup kind to sensitive and allergy-prone skin, it’s also non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t block pores, which can lead to blemishes and breakouts. If you regularly experience irritation or acne, a non-comedogenic formula should be an absolute must for any skincare or makeup you use.

  • YOU CAN USE IT AFTER A FACIAL TREATMENT 

Fortunately, a good quality mineral makeup can be applied straight after a facial treatment – it can even be used after certain surgeries. Not only will it conceal any redness, it actually helps to heal the skin, too.

  • IT’S GREAT FOR NATURAL CONTOURING

The trend for over-the-top contouring and blinding strobe highlighter might be over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use the technique to define your cheekbones or brighten the area under your eyes. For a more natural-looking way to contour and highlight, Simply Jewel will Custom Blend your foundation, made just for you by appointment only. 

  •  EXTRA SUN PROTECTION

Although we’ll always advocate wearing a separate SPF when you’re outdoors, any extra sun protection is only a good thing! And you don’t need to look far to find it in mineral makeup as one of the key ingredients is titanium dioxide, which provides a natural filter from the sun.
