Bare Minerals Make up is Great for Sensitive Skin
If you have sensitive skin, you have probably had some difficulty finding a makeup that won’t irritate it. Many makeup products contain artificial perfumes, dyes, and other chemicals that can be harmful to your skin and cause your skin to breakout. These breakouts can be itchy and uncomfortable, not to mention embarrassing and difficult to cover up.
Bare minerals make up is the perfect solution if you have sensitive skin or suffer from skin irritations. Mineral makeup is made from natural minerals from the earth and do not contain unnatural preservatives and chemicals that can cause your skin irritations to flare up. Mineral makeup is so pure that it is even recommended by dermatologists. Because mineral makeup is made up of crushed minerals, it does not contain moisture like normal liquid foundations. This allows the makeup to absorb extra moisture from the air and from your skin.

Tips for Using Mineral Foundation
I think that many people who are just discovering bare minerals makeup can be slightly confused with how to apply it. One thing that you need to understand is that mineral makeup stands on its own. My girlfriend the other day was using some of her new Everyday Minerals foundation that she just received, and she had never used mineral makeup before. She ended up putting on her regular foundation, and then put the mineral foundation on top of it. She was worried that because the mineral makeup seemed just like a powder that she wouldn’t get enough coverage using just mineral makeup by itself.
Mineral foundation should be applied by itself, and doesn’t need a traditional liquid foundation underneath it. This is one of the great benefits of using mineral makeup in the first place! You get wonderful coverage without having to cake on all kinds of heavy makeup, and it feels very light and silky. I saw her after she had put on both mineral foundation and liquid foundation, and she had the coverage, but something just didn’t look right. It looked like she had a thick layer of makeup on her face, and besides being smooth, looked a little funny. The next day she tried using just the mineral foundation by itself, and to her surprise, it gave her complete coverage. She looked much better, and really didn’t look like she was wearing any makeup at all, as opposed to when she used the liquid foundation she looked like she had a thick layer of makeup on her face.
The makeup of mineral makeup (there’s a tongue twister!) allows it to adhere to your skin and give you complete coverage without the need for a liquid foundation. However, if you would like, many women often use a moisturizer on their face before applying the mineral foundation. Just remember that it is not necessary to use liquid makeup under your mineral makeup. If you do, you will lose out on many of the advantages that bare minerals makeup provides.
Mineral Mika

Information about the mineral mika (mica)
If you put mineral make up on your face every day, don’t you think you should know exactly what is in it? Well I’d like to help keep you informed on what you are putting on your face, so I’m going to start writing some posts to tell you about the actual minerals that are in your makeup products. Today we’re going to start with the mineral mika (it’s actually mica, but most people spell it with a k).
Mica is a mineral that is commonly found in many mineral makeup brands, include everyday minerals and bare essentials. If you’ve ever taken a geology class, there is a good chance that you have encountered it before. When I was in school, we had an earth science class and we got to check out all kinds of rocks and minerals when we studied them, and we got to feel them and everything. The sample of mica that we got to see looked like a big flat shiny rock. The cool thing about it was that it was kind of flexible, and you could peel off very thin layers of it that came off in sheets. Mica is a pretty soft mineral (it’s a 2-3 on the hardness scale) which is why you are able to flex it like a thick sheet of paper.
Mineral mika is mined all over the world, with the largest amount coming from India. It is often used in the electronics industry to manufacture electrical parts. Because it is heat resistant, it is often used as an insulation in electronics, and it can also be used on stoves as windows. Where else can you find mica? In your mineral makeup of course!
Mica is used in mineral make up to create that great shimmering or glowing appearance. The word “mica” actually comes from a latin word meaning ‘to glitter’. The brilliance of this mineral is due to the fact that it has perfect basal cleavage. Who wouldn’t want perfect cleavage! Actually, in geological terms, cleavage refers to the way a mineral splits or breaks apart. This is what gives mica it’s shimmery sparkly glow, and this is why it is in your mineral makeup!
Mineral Mika is non toxic and non carcinogenic, so it is perfectly safe for use by humans, especially to make you look more beautiful!
