questions are answered

5Is it waterproof?
- No, it is not. It is water resistant.
- This means that mineral cosmetics hold up well in
moisture. - Whether you get damp from sweating or being in
the rain, your mineral makeup should hold up. - Simply dab the excess water off, instead of
rubbing it off.

6Is it hard to remove?
- No, it isn't hard to remove.
- Using any type of facial cleanser, cold cream,
eye makeup remover, etc.- even soap and water-
will remove it very effectively.

7How can it last all day and still be easy to
remove?
The basic properties of mineral makeup (titanium
dioxide and iron oxides) have great adhesion
properties. This means they bind well to the
skin. There are no oils or waxes, which helps
them to stay on longer. Finally, each
ingredient is water- soluble. This makes them
easy to remove, and is why they are not
waterproof.

8Does it really look natural?
Yes. It won't leave that tell-tale "mask" on
your skin like a liquid foundation. Plus you
can easily mix colors to give yourself the best
match to your natural skin, which helps it look
better.

9What makes it matte?
- A matte mineral cosmetic will not have any mica
in it. - Mica adds the sparkle, shimmer, interference,
etc. - Some micas even give makeup more depth so that it
is more compatible to different skin tones. - Without it, the mineral cosmetic can look really
flat, like paint.

10Isn't serecite a mica?
- Yes, it is colorless mica.
- It adds a little more "slip" to the makeup,
giving it a silkier feel. - It has a very low shimmer to it and it becomes
unnoticeable when mixed into the makeup.

11Will it clog my pores?
- No it won't.
- It is considered non-comedogenic and safe for
women with sensitive skin. - It is lacking the oils and parabens associated
with clogged pores.

12Will it affect my acne?
- It shouldn't.
- Most mineral cosmetic brands are non-acnegenic,
which means they won't irritate acne-prone skin. - In fact, many women with acne that use mineral
makeup see their faces clear up after using it
consistently for awhile. - Those that do have trouble can usually attribute
it to the - "buffing", cornstarch/rice powder (which is a
food product for bacteria), or bismuth
oxychloride. - Finding a brand free of these ingredients will
ensure the best possible chance of not irritating
your acne.

13Is it ok for oily/dry skin?
- It is highly recommended for oily skin because of
its intrinsic oil-absorbing properties. - It tends to work very well on oily skin.
- Dry skin can be more problematic because of all
those drying ingredients. - However, there are formulations out there
specifically for dry skin, so those will probably
work best.

14Which brand is the best?
- Choosing a mineral cosmetic company depends on
what you are looking for. -
- Many women focus on ingredients, color selection,
quantity vs. price and customer service. - You know what you want, so the best idea is to
base your choice on your priorities.

15Are Ebay brands good?
- This is a bit tricky.
- Yes and no.
- Some are and some aren't.
- Unfortunately, many people selling on Ebay under
their own brand are simply resellers of someone
else's wholesale brand. - It's called a "private label."

16Cont'd Are Ebay brands good?
- They buy someone else's products at a reduced
price because they're buying in bulk and put
their stickers on it. - The problem with this is that they don't know
anything about the ingredients or how to help
their customers make an appropriate match. - But there are also some reputable sellers on
Ebay. -
- Buying off Ebay depends solely on your personal
preference
