Mineral makeup has seen a resurgence in the beauty world. Women have discovered that less is more and that makeup can be healthy for them. Mineral makeup has become a beauty essential. One aspect that has gained popularity is the mineral illuminizer.
What makes mineral makeup different?
Mineral makeup is created using natural minerals from the earth. The most common ingredients are serecite mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide and zinc oxide. The minerals are crushed and made into powders that are used all over the body.
These natural minerals contain properties that aid in skin health. They won’t clog pores and lead to skin irritation or disorders. Only a little of the mineral powder provides total coverage for the face. Your face feels fresh and light instead of heavy like a mask.
This is good news. On top of all that, mineral makeup can satisfy all makeup tastes. The iron oxides in the mineral makeup come in a variety of natural colors to light up your face and make you beautiful at the same time.
Illuminizers
What are illuminizers? Others are asking the same thing. Mineral illuminizers are similar to bronzers. If you want the look of a tan without visiting the tanning bed or baking in the sun, you opt for a bronzer on your skin. It gives the same look only more natural and without the threat of skin cancer or sun poisoning.
Bronzers are applied to areas where you would see a tan. This can be your arms, legs or shoulders. There is no threat of streaking as the minerals will combine and melt into your skin for a flawless natural look.
An illuminizer does something quite different to your skin. They are meant to reflect the light on your face. If you’ve ever seen a candlelight dinner scene in a movie, the beautiful woman has this otherworldly look in the light. You can have that look for day and night with an illuminizer.
Only high quality minerals are used to make illuminizers just as with the bronzers and other mineral makeup:
Titanium oxide
Iron Oxide
Mica
The colors are softer than your bronzers, thanks to the iron oxides. Illuminizers reflect light instead of adding shimmer (like bronzers) which bathes your face in that glow we talked about above. Your skin will appear radiant and fine lines and wrinkles disappear. Dull skin gets a boost when illuminizing minerals are applied.
How do you apply illuminizers?
Think of an illuminizer as a finishing powder. Once your other mineral makeup has been applied and set, dust your face with illuminizer powder. You’ll be amazed at the soft hue of your face and how it makes you feel. You only need a little to do a great job.
What’s your secret? It should be mineral illuminizers. They provide healthy skin and shed light on your natural beauty at the same time. Get the sexy ethereal look of a movie star when you finish your makeup application with mineral illuminizers.
