Why Do I Want Minerals in my Makeup?
My favorite medspa is having a Jane Iredale makeup day at the end of the month. I'll be out of town, but I can remember being sold Jane Iredale's foundation once before and never really using it, although a dermatologist told me it was good for me. I decided that it's time to reconsider it, now that mineral makeup has become incredibly popular. The unique selling point is that mineral makeup is actually good for your skin ( although if you click on the link above you will see that our expert has mixed feelings).
Jane Iredale (photo above) is one of the oldest of the mineral makeup companies, having been founded in 1994 by a casting director. It uses no talc and no parabens. And the Jane Iredale products are not tested on animals. According to Jane Iredale, the makeup won't clo
g pores.
I had a little of the concealer Jane Iredale Disappear -- one of the favorite products in the line --lying around the house, so I put it on. Here's my first impression:
And yes, it works! It also does not seem to wear off very easily. I have been told that it will cover anything from pimples to tattoos. I did not try it on my tattoo.
The other product that dermatologists often use for patients who have just undergone procedures that leave the skin reddened or discolored (sometimes happens with chemical peels or microdermabrasion, and almost always with lasers) is the PurePressed Base SPF 20, which is a pretty heavy-duty all-in-one foundation, concealer, and sunscreen.
QUICK TAKE: I live in the desert and it gets very hot. While I love a tinted base/sunscreen combination, I prefer a liquid because a pressed powder is too thick when you start to "glow."
