If you are looking to create the perfect summer look, natural mineral makeup is this season’s way to go. If natural mineral makeup is new to you, then here is a look at what you need to know to create that perfect summer look.
1. Double as a sunscreen
You know that sun protection in the summer time is crucial. Besides the risk of burning fair skin, long term sun exposure starts to damage skin tissue, making it more prone to fine lines, wrinkles, and even age spots. A natural mineral makeup foundation will double as a sunscreen. Plus, it is light enough that you can wear blush and color without completely caking your face. The zinc oxide in the natural mineral makeup gives you a natural protection of up to SPF 15-25. If you are fair skinned, you might also consider wearing a sun protecting moisturizer under your natural mineral makeup for additional protection.
2. Protect your lips
The skin on your lips is very sensitive, and therefore needs just as much sun protection as the rest of your face. However, many women find that wearing sunscreen on their lips is not very comfortable or flattering. Natural mineral makeup allows you to apply a light layer of color to your lips, and you still get to enjoy the benefits, including sun protection, that natural mineral makeup offers.
3. Avoid the run
Many women are more active in the summer. The weather is nice, allowing you to get outside to exercise, garden, play sports, take the kids to the beach or the pool, and show off your bikini body at the beauty. However, the weather is also hot and too much running around will usually cause you to sweat and your makeup to run.
Thankfully, natural mineral makeup can help you look your best without worrying about your colors running or rubbing off. The titanium dioxide included in natural mineral makeup is not absorbed in water, so you can wear it while swimming or sweating, and you will not lose the fresh-applied look that you started the day with. This also means that you can wear natural mineral makeup for extended periods of time. If you are going from the office to the theater, you do not need to worry about applying yet another set of makeup, as your natural mineral makeup supports you for hours to come.
4. Be made up – without looking like it
The hottest trend in summer makeup is to look like you don’t have any cosmetics on your face. With traditional cosmetics, this effect can be difficult to achieve because you have to put more and more layers on as you strive to hide blemishes and other imperfections. Natural mineral makeup, however, sits on the surface of the skin. This means that it does not highlight fine lines and wrinkles, and it covers blemishes and imperfections with only a light layer or two. Thus, you get the results you want in fewer applications – and with added health benefits to your skin.
This summer, the hottest trend is in natural mineral makeup, ensuring that you look great at the beach, in the pool, and everywhere else in between.
