Mineral Makeup Tutorial ✨ The Best Natural Makeup for Teen Skin
If you’re a teen embarking on your journey into the world of makeup, skip the confusion and head straight to mineral makeup. Loose mineral makeup products are not only the cleanest form of makeup, they also offer breathable and oil absorbing coverage – ideal for sensitive or acne prone skin.
So, what exactly is mineral makeup?
Put simply, mineral makeup is made of ground materials extracted from the earth, usually comprising of Mica, Zinc and Iron Oxides. Loose mineral makeup products are the cleanest form of mineral makeup as they are purely composed of minerals along with a few other select ingredients. Mineral makeup is suitable for all skin types and has many benefits for teens who are starting to experience breakouts, excess oil and skin sensitivities. It is:
- Breathable, making it ideal for acne prone skin as it won’t clog pores.
- Suitable for sensitive skin thanks to its minimal ingredient list.
- Lightweight and oil absorbing to support hormonal teen skin.
- Easy to apply.
- Buildable to achieve a natural finish or a flawless base.
- A natural physical sunscreen, thanks to the inclusion of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (usually around SPF 15 so we still recommend you apply a dedicated sunscreen daily)
HOW TO APPLY MINERAL FOUNDATION
Ensure skin is cleansed, moisturised and you’ve applied SPF (if applying in the AM).
Apply any liquid and cream products first if you want to conceal any blemishes.
Tap some product into the lid, swirl the brush into the product and tap off excess – it’s always best to start with a small amount as you can always add more.
Start at the centre of the face and work your way outwards as this is where we tend to produce more oil and blemishes. You can use gentle tapping motions over sensitive or breakout areas to avoid irritating the skin and affecting any concealer coverage.
Build up as needed and you can also apply setting powder to the t-zone for additional staying and oil absorbing power.
Don’t forget to blend out to the hairline and down the jawline/neck for a flawless finish.
Mineral powder makeup is also really easy to layer and re-apply. Throw it in your handbag for top ups throughout the day!
