ELEGANT MINERALS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is mineral makeup?

A: Mineral Makeup is simply the healthiest, most natural form of makeup available. It has a built in SPF 15, to helpprotect your skin from future sun damage, without the use of a chemical sunscreen. Natural ingredients, free ofperfumes, oils, fillers and dyes, offer anti-inflammatory properties and are ideal for people with sensitive skin,rosacea, acne prone skin, and post-laser redness.

 Q: Is the makeup safe for all skin types?

A: Yes. It’s recommended by dermatologist for it’s gentleness and sun protective ingredients. Our Mineral Cosmetics are completely natural with no chemicals, synthetics, preservatives, dye, bismuth, parabens or talc.

Q: Is it all right to use it on acne-prone skin?

A: Yes. It is completely non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) and allows the skin to breathe and function normally. It also easily covers the redness common with eruptions. We have also had many aestheticians tell us that they haveseen an improvement in the skin of their clients since they have been using mineral makeup.

Q: Is it necessary to wear additional sun screens when using the minerals?A: No. You may if you wish. We always believe that you can’t wear too much protection in the sun. Feel free to use your favorite sun block for extra protection.

Q: Are the powders drying?

A: No, quite the reverse. Most Powders have a bad name because they usually contain talc. Our minerals actually trap moisture between the skin and the crystal layer. And our mineral makeup are talc free!

Q: Once I have samples of several foundation shades, how do I find my perfect match?

A: There are a few ways to do this… You can wear each shade by itself for one day and see which looks best. You can apply a small amount of each shade on your face (most recommend doing this near the jaw line) and choose theone that seems to disappear into your skin. If none of our shades seems quite right, you can mix your foundation into a combination and custom-design your own color! Still, others choose a shade that does not match their skin tone, but corrects it, such as women with Rosacea who often choose a shade with more yellow tones to counteract the redness in their skin. It’s all up to you!  

Q: Can you explain the undertones of each color family of foundation shades?

A: Yes. Here’s a quick list.Yellows = beige + yellowWarms = beige + yellow + peachNeutrals = beige + yellow + peach + pinkCools = beige + peach + pinkPinks = beige + pink See our, “Foundation” for pictures.

Q: If I am mixing shades to create my perfect foundation match, do I need to grind or mix the powders in some special way or will the shake or stir methods work?

A: Mixing our foundation powders by combining them in a container and simply shaking or stirring works fine. Just be sure to get them well-mixed, especially if the shades are very different from each other.

Q: Do you offer a concealer?

A: Mineral Makeup was originally designed as a concealer, and it performs beautifully in that capacity! We recommend using a shade lighter than your foundation for under eye circles and blemishes.

Q: What are your mineral makeup ingredients?

Here is a brief description of the ingredients that we use in our makeup. Titanium Dioxide: This is a naturally occurring mineral that exists in the earth’s surfaces. It provides wonderful coverage for foundation as well as a non-irritating, full-spectrum sun shield. Mica: This is an age old cosmetic used as long ago as the Egyptians. It is an almost colorless mineral that occursnaturally in the Earth’s surface. Iron Oxides: These minerals are what adds color to makeup. They are natural salts that have been oxidized in awater process.Sericite: This is a fluffy translucent mineral that can be used alone as a setting powder, and provides a silky textureto a foundation.

Q: Do you have bismuth in your products?

A: No, our pure minerals do not include bismuth. We have heard from thousands of women saying they’re having redness, skin irritation, and other reactions to bismuth. We do not include it in our cosmetics.

Q: Do you use micronized minerals?
