Okay, I don’t really eat my mineral makeup, but I do adore it! And minerals are so good for us, whether in our makeup, a supplement, or in our water. Below I showcase colorful mineral shades that look good enough to eat. Mineral makeup is less colorful than traditional makeup by nature, but I like pizazz- and a lot of color.

I researched colorful mineral makeup and found two online stores that had a lot to offer. These are some of my favorite shades.

Elf cosmetics offer mineral makeup starter kits for $20. Each kit comes with brushes and bag…although a kabuki brush is not included. The mineral makeup sold separately costs only $5, including foundation, concealor, and blush. Bronzer is $8 but is a much larger portion. I loved the elf mineral makeup. I have had trouble breaking out in the past. Elf’s mineral makeup eliminated my breakouts- I could wear foundation without getting acne! This is a first. However, I would not recommend Elf’s mineral makeup for those who like a lot of coverage. Elf’s mineral makeup gave my face that extra youthful glow with a hint a shimmer.

I am fascinated with mineral makeup. I was not aware that this special natural cosmetic has been around since the ’70’s. Mineral makeup is available in many colors and is touted to be anti-acne, anti-inflammatory, and contain SPF properties naturally.

I borrowed this woman’s illustration of the beauty of mineral makeup from her squidoo page at http://www.squidoo.com/NaturalMineralMakeUp. The makeup covers up her Rosacea so well that its virtually non-existent… and over time it will decrease the effects of Rosacea because of the ant-inflammatory effects.

I have tried many colors of green and purple to bring out the green in my eyes. Clinique’s moss and grape did the trick, but not as well as I would have liked. I have used these two colors- grape and moss- for the past year. Although the colors enhanced the green in my eyes I still had to pay special attention to what I wore- the wrong color would throw the effect off altogether.

Clinique produces seasonal makeup that is fun and new. Remember the blusher that changed the world Fall of 2006? Well, maybe not the world, but it changed Clinique’s image for sure! This unique blusher was shown in magazines. Clinique suddenly had the attention of many customers of other makeup lines. I have always been a fan of Clinique, but I was too excited when the allover color came out.
