The Product
Virtually no allergy risk, natural mineral cosmetics allow skin to breath. Talc free, chemical free, and dye free natural cosmetics recommended by plastic surgeons and dermatologists, are created from powdered minerals. Their consistency and mineral content act together to calm the most sensitive skin.
Over time mineral cosmetics actually improve your skin. Since your skin is allowed to breathe through the mineral foundation, no oily barrier preventing oxygen from reaching your skin, the texture and tone of your skin improve. Microscopic fibers fill up those tiny lines in your skin and give your complexion a natural healthy glow.
The best part of natural cosmetics is their ability to add a youthful glow while protecting your skin from harmful solar rays. Consisting of mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxides, ultramarine, zinc oxide, mineral foundation is particularly well suited to use as a sunscreen. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are both used in high quality sun blocks. These cancer fighting sun-blocking agents are both in most mineral make up products.
Mineral cosmetics are ideal for anyone suffering from acne or post surgical skin procedures. In most instances acne improves after extended periods of using mineral make up because titanium dioxide does not promote the growth of bacteria as some cosmetics may. Due to the dry formula of mineral cosmetics, ingredients such as talc, dye, and perfume are not added. Therefore mineral cosmetics offer a chemical free option to popular cosmetic choices.
100 percent natural cosmetics provide excellent coverage, staying power, and creaseless beauty all day long. Natural anti-drying agents help to seal in moisture and prevent clogged pores. Mineral cosmetics dusted on liberally with special high quality brushes fill tiny lines and hide blemishes, leaving a soft healthy glow and sun protections. Because they don’t have to be reapplied during the day, they reduce stress and increase the happy factor in your life.
The Application
Foundation gives your face a flawless silky glow that reflects health with fine texture and uniform color. A little goes a long way. It is always best to start your make up application with clean fresh skin. If you choose to use moisturizer, it must be fully absorbed before applying mineral cosmetics.
To conceal any flaws: Lightly brush mineral foundation over any areas where flaws exist. Light layers cover better than one heavy layer; so go lightly.
Mineral foundation should be applied to dry skin, moisture will make it cake and appear uneven on your skin. Using a brush to apply the foundation in circular motions results in flawless coverage.
Blusher or bronzing powder should be applied as a highlighting accent to your face and completed with a finishing powder to set your make up.
Eye shadow can be applied either wet or dry, using a shadow brush, apply lightly and add more as needed. A bit of bronzer is an excellent eye shadow choice for daytime wear.
Using a light touch and the right brushes will help you achieve that dewy glow of youth and good health. These products are inexpensive and long lasting, making them an excellent choice for everyday cosmetic needs.

Physician’s Formula
http://www.physiciansformula.com/en-us/default.html
Physician’s Formula Recommendations:
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Face Powder: ~$13.00 individual, ~$20 in the 3 pack
(Voted “Best Face Powder” in Star Magazine)
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Blush: ~$12.00 individual, ~$20 in the 3 pack
(Won "Testers’ Favorite Product Award" in Fitness Magazine and Awarded “Natural Beauty Award” in Natural Health Magazine)
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil: ~$13.00 individual, ~$20 in 3 the pack
The 3 pack is not on the website, but I know for a fact it is sold at Target. It's probably sold at Walmart, and wherever they carry physician's formula products. The colors I saw that it came in were fair, light, and medium.
I have oily skin, so here’s a tip if you do, too. Just carry around the Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil in a purse or backpack (for school or work or shopping or whatever) and apply it when you feel oily. It's 100% translucent, so it just eats the oil without looking chalky or heavy.
To me, the mineral powder and blush looked hard, like I'd have to scrape it with my powder brush, but really it comes of quite easily. Take the brush it comes with and just dab it on, it'll come off without any rubbing at all.
Yes you can order from their website, Everyday Minerals is currently a internet based company so its not available in stores, at least in the US but you can order from their website below =]

CVS (Sav-Ons) carries it there!
Hope it helps!
Hello!
You would need to create a balance of iron oxides and ultramarine blue to create a skin-tone color. There are some kits at Monave that could help you get started, or you could just try your hand at it. The pigments need to be blended to create the color before you add it to the sunscreen….hope that helps!
Thanks, D
Love Monave!!! They are awesome.
oh yeah that’s real cool!!!
I wanted to purchase your products, but that Pyrex cup did not look sterlized, (clean.)
my best friends mother used and i asked she said it was great it just depends on your skin type
There are lots of cosmetic stores in Turkey…You can find anything there….
If you're allerging to Mica, yes. Mica is a kind of chemical that makes stuff shine, same with Bismuth Oxide. So if you're allergic to any of those things or you have sensitive skin, both of those will break you out. Try to avoid Bare Minerals if you're allergic to Bismuth because their products have Bismuth in it. Everyday Minerals is an alternative that doesn't use Bismuth at all. Good luck!
I never heard of Purely Cosmetics but I know that Bare Minerals has color for African Women. The colors seems
to blend good and does not look ashy.
OMG! I would soo love doing this for a living!
i love their mineral foundation!
