What is mineral cosmetics? These are products that are based on natural crushed minerals, does not contain fragrances, chemically synthesized dyes and additives. Often, manufacturers write on the packaging "mineral", but in fact it is only an advertising move, since the whole set of standard ingredients of ordinary cosmetics is present.
I am a series of reviews on different brand products, tested them on themselves and models with different types of skin, and amounted to their opinion about each product.
The main thing is that the brands of mineral cosmetics are proud - this is a tonal basis.
Bellapierre has a powder shape, which is unusual, because everything is used to the tone in liquid form.
To begin with, consider the composition:
Titanium Dioxide - SPF Factor, Sun Protection.
Iron oxide - natural dye, the color of the base depends on its quantity.
Mica (MICA) - mineral giving radiance.
Zinc oxide - mineral, providing coating matt, prolongs the resistance of makeup.
That's all! This is the cleanest composition of all possible.
It:
- Hypoallergenic
- Suitable for problem and sensitive skin, TC does not load it
- not comedy, does not score pores and easily washed off
There are several ways to apply a tone base, but they all suggest pre-careful skin moisturizing.
You can apply a large amount of moisturizing cream and on top of it powder. The cream is absorbed, powder will fall on the skin with a smooth smooth layer.
You can mix powder with cream or makeup base and apply to face as a tone cream. It has the ability to control the density of the coating.
You can apply a brush on the face with a large brush, sprinkle with thermal water and give to absorb.
Finally, it can be applied to the basis of a wet brush.
All methods are the same in effect, the skin remains a layer of flickering powder, which gives the effect of delicate radiance. It does not look like a highlight or radiator, namely on tone with reflective particles. The face looks "polished", smooth.
The tone is persistent, not erased from the touch and does not dissolve the skin allocated during the day. Minerals have the property to absorb excess fat and keep the mattiness longer than ordinary cosmetics.
The palette of shades of the tonal base is striking: 10 shades, from almost white to dark brown, unique to the Russian market. Personally, I have not seen in the free sale of tones for an African-American skin color. The brightest and dark shades can also be used for contouring. Poll colors are really slightly adjusted to their skin color, in addition, the powder is easy to mix, so the correct tone can always be chosen.
The covering capacity at the base varies greatly depending on the amount of powder, from super thin to dense. You can lay the product, point to add to problem areas as a corrector.
The only drawback of the mineral bases is not suitable for dry skin, even when applying a moisturizing cream. If there are peelings and risen places, the base will be blown uneven and emphasize them. But the owners of oily and age skin can easily remove the unwanted shine and disguise the extended pores.
