It is possible to make skin blemishes appear less visible. For the rest of the makeup, the Foundation serves as a base. Wearing a foundation will provide you with more confidence in your appearance. A sunscreen that you can wear every day as protection against aging and skin cancers is used in several foundations.

Benefits of Mineral Makeup Foundation

•  Mineral Foundation Helps Provide Sun Protection

Used in conjunction with your daily SPF, a mineral makeup foundation can help defend your skin against the sun’s damaging rays. There are two types of sunscreen, physical and chemical. Chemical sunscreen contains ingredients that absorb the sun’s rays, while physical sunscreen blocks the sun, deflecting UVA and UVB rays.

• Mineral Makeup Foundation Provides Better Coverage

Traditional cosmetics often contain talc, a bulking agent that leads to a formula that’s heavier and less pigmented. With a poorly pigmented foundation, you'll need to layer more product to get your desired look and coverage.

•  Mineral Makeup Looks Great on Camera

"With HD cameras you can see everything,” says Stephanie Panek, Key Makeup Artist on Netflix’s Grace and Frankie. “A makeup artist has to go in and cover any spots, flaws, or discoloration with makeup so that it doesn't show on camera.” She loves using mineral powder foundations because of their natural, full coverage look. "Two of my male actors do not like to wear makeup but allow me to use the mineral foundations because it’s fast, gives full coverage, and it doesn't look like they are wearing makeup."

•  Mineral Makeup Foundation Won’t Settle into Fine Lines

The best foundation is one that you apply and forget. However, many traditional foundations contain talc, which feels heavy on the skin. The traditional foundation also commonly settles into fine lines and wrinkles, which can cause creasing. Mineral makeup is like a second skin, with a barely-there feel.

 

• Mineral Makeup Is Suitable for All Skin Types

Oily, dry, or combination, mineral makeup foundation works well for every skin type. However, your skin type will determine the manner in which you apply your foundation. It is essential for all skin types to moisturize every morning before applying makeup, so the minerals have a hydrated surface to lie on. For oily and combination skin, use a mattifying powder on your t-zone to keep the midday oil at bay, and for dry skin, use a hydrating mist to hydrate your minerals and refresh your skin.

• Mineral Makeup is Rosacea-Friendly

Since mineral makeup is free of skin-irritating ingredients like talc and chemical dyes, it's a good choice for those that suffer from rosacea. Not only is mineral makeup rosacea-friendly, it effectively helps cover and correct surface redness to conceal the side effects.

• Mineral Makeup is Good for Acne-Prone Skin

Mineral makeup is good for acne-prone skin for the same reason mineral makeup is good for rosacea. With a non-irritating, non-comedogenic formula, mineral foundation won’t clog your pores, causing further breakouts
