b>TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.3* Why it's great: "One compact lasts me forever," raves one reviewer. Another reader with "a lot of redness" and oily skin says this mineral makeup "evens out [her] skin" and diminishes the look of her fine lines and pores. It "stays put and looks fresh all day," says one reader. "I get tons of compliments every time I wear it."
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.6* Why it's great: Our readers say this dual-color eye shadow looks like a cream, but "goes on more like a creamy, thick powder shadow." This mineral shadow is also "super pigmented," so you only need "a little amount." One reviewer says the colors are "blendable, as well as buildable."
The best mineral makeup is the gift that keeps on giving. Unlike traditional makeup products, the best mineral makeup lines are free of preservatives and chemicals — like parabens, dyes and fragrances — that can wreak havoc on sensitive skin. They can be a lifesaver for women with skin conditions like eczema or rosacea who don't want to give up makeup. And, because most formulas don't contain oil, they also won't exacerbate acne-prone skin.
As for skin-care benefits, mineral makeup contains titanium oxide and zinc oxide, which provide some sun protection. Zinc oxide is also a natural anti-inflammatory, which helps soothe irritated skin.
From powders to liquids, these mineral makeup products were voted most impressive (and least irritating) by TotalBeauty.com users. Check out their reviews to find the best mineral makeup you need to add to your beauty regimen.
