Mineral makeup: discover the benefits

All the benefits of classic makeup and also good for your skin? It seems too good to be true. Feel free to blink twice: mineral makeup really is the stuff of it. On top of a radiant complexion and cover-up of blemishes, this natural makeup ensures an up-and-coming healthy skin.

What is mineral makeup?

Mineral makeup is the makeup we have dreamed of for years. 100% natural, efficient and absolute pampering for your skin. Clean beauty in every way. Free of chemical and synthetic ingredients that damage your skin in the long run and kind to animals. Just the way we want it. Without compromising on coverage and range, because skin care makeup comes for every skin type and tone. The strength lies in the 100% natural makeup ingredients and the nurturing properties of the minerals. A brand that makes our hearts beat faster? That is definitely Jane Iredale’s skin care makeup line, the highest quality for sublime results.

What minerals are in mineral makeup?

The minerals in mineral makeup are mined directly from rocks and the earth’s crust. Afterwards, they are ground so finely that a wonderfully airy powder remains.

Mineral makeup usually contains 5 types of minerals:

  • iron oxide: for color
  • mica: for the natural shine and satiny texture
  • titanium dioxide: for protection against UV
  • Zinc oxide: for UV protection, matting effect and white pigment
  • boron nitride: for an irresistible reflection

Who is mineral makeup suitable for?

Everyone who loves their skin benefits from it. But do you suffer from rosacea, acne or generally sensitive skin? Then this makeup should definitely not be missing from your makeup ritual. It covers redness, soothes and softens. Due to its light-reflecting properties, mineral makeup is also particularly suitable for the more mature skin. It minimizes fine lines, wrinkles and large pores and gives a healthy
dewy look
that makes skin appear younger.

Also a
stay at home
 day and linger in your garden or on the terrace from now on with the perfect glow, because this makeup is better to apply than not. Its caring properties and natural SPF that protects against harmful Uv rays make it a real treat for your skin.

Admittedly, flashy colors and a harsher makeup look should not be immediately sought in mineral makeup. Want a healthy, natural look? A look that feels good inside and out? Then you are in the right place.

Can I use mineral makeup after my aesthetic treatment?

Yes. Mineral makeup can be applied immediately after a facial or non-ablative laser treatment. Just one of the reasons why we are so excited about it. Your skin is often sensitive, red or tight in the first moments after a procedure. Your skin needs to rest and recover. Then you better not apply classic makeup with synthetic and chemical ingredients that clog pores and irritate the skin. So whether a peel or hydrafacial is on the agenda, its caring properties mean that you can use the minerals worry-free from the first day after your procedure.

Our favorite product

Our favorite? Without a doubt, the mineral translucent sun powder.

Dermatologists recommend applying sunscreen every 2 hours with an SPF that matches your skin type. With the mineral solar powder, it’s a snap. It protects, fixes and combats shine. You simply apply the translucent powder on top of your makeup as often as you like. No need to demaquill and no greasy hands: ideal. And the brush fits easily into any bag. This way you always have a powerful sunscreen on hand, without the hassle.

How do I apply mineral makeup?

Minerals are natural, but no less effective. ‘Less is more’ when it comes to skin care makeup. That switch is often an adjustment. In fact, classic makeup contains large amounts of fillers such as talc or cornmeal, so you have to apply quite a bit to get effect. With minerals, you need much less product to achieve the same result. Talc is also the main reason why classic makeup dries out your skin. Moreover, it absorbs light instead of reflecting it, which actually makes blemishes and wrinkles more visible.
