Why women love natural looking makeup?
Makeup is one of those obssessions of some women that rank up there together with clothes and shoes. It is indeed fun to experiment with various make up looks using different colours and makeup products and you can change your look every day depending on your mood.
However, these days, a lot more women actually prefer the more natural makeup look. One of the reasons for this is that barely-there makeup actually highlights and accentuates your features instead of hiding them under heavy gunks of makeup while still covering up blemishes and other imperfections. Natural makeup also looks better for working girls who go through a busy day in their work who do not really have much time to fix themselves up too much or retouch their makeup later in the day.
Mineral makeup is among the favourites of women who want to achieve that barely-there makeup look. While mineral makeup has been in the fringes of the beauty industry for the past three decades, being first used in the hippie enclave of Haight in San Francisco, more mineral makeup brands have broken out into the mainstream during the past several years.
These days, even big commercial makeup brands have been putting out their own lines of mineral makeup products. Simply put, mineral makeup is makeup made of natural ingredients such as zinc oxide, mica, iron oxides and titanium oxides. Titanium oxide and zinc oxide also act as a natural sunscreen which can help protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays with a sun protection from up to SPF 20.
Most mineral makeup products also do not contain synthetic and harmful ingredients such as parabeens, mercury, lead, preservatives, dyes and other chemicals which can be harmful to your skin and cause breakouts, rashes and irritation. So not only is mineral makeup a good cosmetic product, it also has a lot of skin care benefits for those who use them.
Like any other thing in fashion and beauty, makeup trends also change very fast these days, so it is better to invest in the basics that you can wear for any season, event or occasion. You can also try on the current trends from time to time when you're in the mood, but avoid spending too much for “hot” or “trendy” makeup items as they go out of style really fast these days. A lot of women juggle different roles in their life - as mother, career woman, social butterfly, part of the community and church - and many others, that is why their makeup has to do the same, to be versatile enough to take them from one place to another and this what natural looking makeup is perfect for.
