Say goodbye to oily skin with mineral makeup

An introduction to mineral makeup

Mineral Makeup

Traditional makeup can be irritating for those with oily skin. It puts extra shine on the wearer's face, clogs up pores, makes the face look cakey, and is hard to remove.
The best mineral makeup for oily skin should result in clear, smooth, and flawless-looking skin minus the sticky feeling of foundations and creams and the extra shine.

The Best Mineral Makeup for Oily Skin

If, aside from oiliness, one also has sensitive skin or are prone to acne and rosacea in particular, watch out for bismuth oxychloride, a chemical compound that gives makeup a shimmery and pearlescent quality in addition to a powdery white texture. This type of lead arsenic is commonly found in most mineral makeup products and can cause mild skin irritation.
One of the best mineral makeup for oily skin is the Bare Escentuals RareMinerals Skin Revival Treatment. This expensive $60 loose powder product absorbs a lot of excess oil and comes in many different shades, including a colorless one. Its mica base provides it with a lighter texture than mineral makeup with a bismuth oxychloride base.

RAW Minerals Makeup

Another must-try product is RAW Minerals by RAW Natural Beauty. Compared to loose powder makeup, this product is easy to use and not so messy. Its SPF is a good mix of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, not to mention that its matte finish is strong without the cakey appearance.
Best of all, you get the complete starter kit and 30 day supply free ($135 value) for just $3.95 shipping and handling.

Other Mineral Makeup

Then there's Monave Loose Mineral Foundation. For a sample jar of $25, one can try out different light and medium shades that give out just a little shine. Because of its high absorbent finish, it can be worn for hours and covers bad skin discolorations very well.
Pürminerals Mineral Loose Translucent Foundation is an excellent choice, as well. Not only is the texture silky and dry, but also it gives off a soft shine in the face. It does not clog pores and change color in oily skin. Silica, an active ingredient, absorbs excess oil and does not make the skin look heavy or thick.
As with all cosmetic products, choose the best mineral makeup for oily skin by reading labels and deciding what you look for in your makeup.
