More women everywhere are switching to mineral make up. They're giving up their old, oily make ups for mineral make up made from natural minerals from the earth. These minerals are ground very finely and used without the need for dyes, perfumes, or preservatives contained in commercial make ups. No wonder they are growing in popularity every day.

Women with sensitive skin often have reaction to regular commercially produced make up. These reactions can be anything from severe reaction including hives and itching, down to less severe reactions such as an increase in acne or over drying of the skin. When they use a make up with out the irritating ingredients, they have smoother, better looking skin.

Different companies manufacture their mineral make up products in different ways. The type that has been rapidly increasing in popularity is the finely-ground face powders. Application is easy as you simply brush the powder on your face. You can't do it wrong, because the make up does not cake or cause creases. You'll love the feel of sheer cover mineral foundation on your skin which will seem light and cool compared to your old heavy, streaky make-up

There are also other types of all natural make up that include lipsticks and eye shadows that use all natural ingredients to color the make up. Using makeup containing only the bare essentials makeup is something that women, including those without sensitive skin, often do.

Use of mineral make up is not a purely new idea. Women as far back as Ancient Egypt are known to have used certain minerals in a ground form as make up to help protect their eyes from the hot desert sun. The reflective properties of the makeup were used to the benefit of the women who used them.

Women also choose all natural makeup for reasons other than wanting healthier skin. For example, pregnant women are more aware now than they have ever been about how the things they put in and on their bodies affect their unborn child. All natural make up takes one more weight off the shoulders of the expecting mothers who want nothing more than a healthy baby.
