Pros and Cons of Mineral Makeup

Susan Posnick, TATCHA, COLORFLO

Mineral makeup and foundations have become so popular in the last ten years, they can be found in most all drugstores or cosmetics outlets with costs ranging from a few dollars to much more. However, with popularity the variety of ingredients and the available products increases. For that reason, we’d like to share a few pros and cons of mineral makeup.

The most commonly discussed advantage of mineral makeup is that the makeup can be made up of very few, all-natural ingredients. Additionally, these ingredients are extremely mild and usually do not irritate sensitive skin or clog pores.  Most high quality mineral makeups do not contain fragrance, fillers, or preservatives of any kind.

Another benefit of mineral makeup’s base ingredients is the inherent UV protection. You should still wear sunblock each day, but every little bit of protection helps your skin in the long run. Susan Posnick’s COLORFLO Mineral Makeup contains a natural SPF 26. If you’re out in the sun and notice a little shine appearing, we recommend TATCHA Gold Flake Blotting Papers to absorb excess moisture without altering your foundation’s coverage.

Finally, on that note, one of make-up artists’ favorite properties of mineral makeup is the buildable coverage. A very light layer can provide minimal coverage and color, or you can continue applying the foundation until you have the depth of coverage desired. Some even moisten the foundation and apply with a small brush like concealer.

The disadvantages of mineral makeup are often minimal compared to the benefits, but should still be considered.

Some mineral foundations come in packages that can make for messy application, or require special attention when traveling – to avoid spills or accidents. Nowadays, the best manufacturers have addressed this issue, like Susan Posnick’s COLORFLO mineral makeup, which comes in a self-dispensing, refillable, and portable container and brush in one piece.

Another disadvantage is that the mineral foundations may not be available in a wide variety of colors and shades, because the makeup is made from naturally occurring ingredients and does not contain dyes or artificial colors.

New Items and Accessories at Igigi

Igigi clothing, by designer Yuliya Raquel, produces quality plus size clothing for women that is stylish and attractive. These form-fitting designs allow women of larger sizes to experience the nice, comfortable and soft materials and figure flattering cuts that they thought would only drape so nicely on smaller sized women. Their customers are surprised and pleased to find that the item they ordered fits so well and makes them feel so good about their appearance.

Igigi clothing is not the typical tent style dresses that so often are the only things offered to larger women. They’re also not made of unattractive materials and colors that larger women so often have to settle for. Here, women will find a full array of items that are sleek and professional for work, stylish and attractive for an evening out, and beautiful and sophisticated bridal wear for the bride and for the wedding party.

Among the new arrivals this spring at Igigi are items that defy traditional thinking in traditional plus size wear. Most designs aim to cover up as much as possible. At Igigi, the designs are form fitting and show off and accent your best features. For example, take the Salute One Shoulder Top. This top covers one shoulder, ending in a three-quarter bell sleeve, while the other side has a strap over the left shoulder. The waist is shirred and gathered to minimize a tummy while accentuating an hourglass shaped waist. The asymmetrical design slims and flatters the figure.

Another take on a current style trend is the Heloise Maxi Dress. Before, larger sized women were afraid to wear floor length dresses for fear of looking tent-like. This dress is different. The black bodice is fitted, with a v-cut in the front, where an empire waist leads to a colorful chiffon skirt that is fully lined. These and other outfits are complemented by a fantastic accessories section that includes clutch bags, belts, and jewelry.  Standout items include the Spring Gala Hinge Cuff, a nickel-free and wide but yet delicate design made with pave crystals. Another eye-catching item is the Regalia Platinum Hard Body Clutch, a stunning and structured evening bag with a geometric design outside and fully lined inside.

BECCA Cosmetics Lip Stains & More – All About Lip Stains

If you’re looking for a long-lasting, matte-looking color, lip tints may be just the product for you! Lip tints, or lip stains, are usually applied to bare lips, and the rich pigment will absorb into the lips, providing the “stained” look, and a long-wear that doesn’t come off like gloss or lipsticks.

When picking your lip stain, remember that the color will often look much darker in the container than it will on your lips. Be sure to test out the color before you decide to apply it to your lips, as it can be tough to undo a lip stain. Also, don’t forget that many stains can be used on the cheeks for a complementary look. BECCA Cosmetics makes an excellent product called Beach Tint that comes in six beautiful shades for your lips and cheeks.There are a couple of pointers you’ll want to remember before going big with the lip stains. Because some stains can be drying to the lips, you should exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub to prepare the surface. Pick a divine Sara Happ lip scrub in one of the delicious-smelling varieties available to remove any dry, flaky skin from your lips.

Once your lips are clean and dry after finishing your scrub, apply the lip stain with a lip brush or sponge, and be careful! As we mentioned, it can be tricky to undo freshly applied lip stain. Start with a thin layer, and build the color until you have your desired shade.

The final trick to a flawless lip stain look is to keep lip balm on hand to keep your lips looking supple and moisturized. Sara Happ makes a fantastic balm called “the lip slip” that provides rich, luxurious smoothness. If you prefer your balm with a bit of flavor or a delicious scent, try a Rosebud Salve Lip Balm. Both lines offer products without color to keep your lip stain color true and your lips soft.
