Organic vs Mineral Makeup

So WHICH IS BETTER, mineral or organic makeup?

Skin – Looking at the health and nutritional aspect for your skin, a truly organic makeup product that has proper certification (USDA, or Ecocert) would be the clear winner over any other form of makeup. Organic makeup is not only toxic free, but is rich in vitamins, essential oils and minerals that will nourish your skin.

Sensitivity – Both mineral and organic makeup are terrific for people with acne, rosacea or ezcema and perfect for people with sensitive skin. Stay away from chemical makeup if you are prone to allergies.

Colours – At the moment, there is a greater selection of colours for mineral makeup, but organic makeup is catching up quickly. Organic makeup brands such as Nvery Eco (Australian Company) has become very popular in the US due to its daring and traditional colours and is a hit with Hollywood celebrities. The natural minerals used contains mild natural sun filters to deliver clear, brilliant and long-lasting color.

Coverage – Both mineral and organic makeup will provide great coverage for people with normal skin. If you have troubled skin and looking for complete coverage for your dark blemishes and flaws, then regular chemical makeup will probably do a better job. But the irony is that your troubled skin may actually be caused by the chemical makeup that you are applying. Chemical makeup have a tendency to clog pores and cause acne and allergic breakouts.

Staying power – This really comes down to your brand selection. There are some really terrible organic and mineral brands where the makeup will fade within just a few hours. A good organic or mineral skin care brand such as “Nvey Eco” or “Bare Escentuals” will only need application once daily and will last a good 8 – 10 hours.
