Mineral Makeup: Great for Men Too!
You may be surprised to learn that mineral makeup is NOT just for women. Men can benefit from it too!
The key is to understand that makeup is not ONLY about enhancing beauty or creating a glamorous look for females. For a man, mineral makeup can be a godsend in covering imperfections like acne, rosacea, or blotchiness, making his skin appear flawless and totally natural... WITHOUT anyone even realizing that he's wearing makeup at all! This can improve his self-esteem and confidence, which benefits both his professional image and his social life. It's the perfect appearance enhancer for job interviews, important meetings, dates, or special occasions, helping a man look his best!
Mineral makeup in particular is the perfect complement to a man's appearance, because the best mineral makeup is 100% natural, with no added chemicals, preservatives, dyes or fragrances to irritate his skin or cause breakouts. In fact, since the natural ingredients in the best mineral makeup include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (active ingredients found in skin care products like sunscreen and diaper rash ointment), mineral makeup is actually soothing to the skin AND protects it against sun damage, with an SPF of 25! The ingredients in mineral makeup can also help to heal small skin imperfections like acne breakouts and minor scars.
For the money-conscious man, mineral makeup is a sound financial choice: the purity and intensity of its pigment means that a little bit goes a long way, so one small container lasts a long time. It's an excellent value for the money.
Don't be intimidated by the idea of using makeup! For a man's purpose, it's not complicated, nor does it require much time. In just a couple of minutes, you'll be looking your best and out the door, ready to conquer the world!
If you're a man who's ready to give mineral makeup a try, here's how to get started.
First, do your usual facial routine: wash your face and shave, if you normally do. Make sure to get the closest shave possible, because for best results, you need a smooth canvas. If time allows, give your skin 30 minutes to rest before applying the makeup.
Begin by dabbing mineral concealer on spots, pigmentations, or any other flaws you wish to conceal. Add more bit by bit until the flaw is completely covered. Mineral makeup makes the best concealer because it's so light and looks so natural.
Then, using the Kabuki brush, tap and swirl a bit of mineral foundation, and apply it to the spot you just covered until it “disappears.” (If it appears too white, that means you used too much concealer. But with practice, you'll learn exactly how much to use to achieve the perfect look.) The best foundation to buy is one that matches your skin tone as closely as possible.
Now apply the mineral foundation to the rest of your face. Again, add it little by little until you achieve the look you want. The great thing about mineral makeup is that it never looks cakey or mask-like. So even if you add several layers, it will always look natural!
Now you look perfect, with flawless skin, yet still totally natural!
So men, next time you have a blemish or minor skin imperfection that makes you self-conscious, don't worry! Just reach for your mineral makeup and you're good to go!
Please, do NOT HESITATE with any question!
