You love looking glamorous, and that includes wearing makeup designed to make you look gorgeous. But when that makeup causes your skin to break out in an itchy rash, it kind of defeats the purpose. One way that those with skin allergies can reach their beauty mark is to use mineral makeup. Mineral cosmetics are safe cosmetics that are both allergen and toxin free, and are part of a growing line of safe personal care products available for you to enjoy.

Makeup ingredients, even though they may be listed as "natural" or plant based, can nevertheless be allergens that can cause the skin to be itchy and even swell. Mineral makeup takes the guesswork out of cosmetic shopping, because they do not include a long list of ingredients, several of which may cause skin flareups. Instead, they do not include any toxic or irritating ingredients because they are chemical free cosmetics.

Many popular cosmetics contain fragrances. This is a major problem for people who are allergic to perfumes. It is no fun to have your eyes tearing up and the skin puffing up around your eyes, and this is a common reaction by those with fragrance sensitivities. Mineral cosmetics are safe cosmetics to use on the face and especially around the eyes because they do not contain any fragrances.

Salicylates are another problem ingredient. Found in many personal care products, including lotions, shampoos and makeup, salicylates cause itchy, red skin for those who are allergic to them. Even though they come from plants, salicylates can cause uncomfortable reactions in individuals with these sensitivities. Mineral makeup is part of a line of chemical free cosmetics that are absent of even plant products that can cause allergic reactions in many individuals, including salicylates.

If mineral makeup is new for you, you may wish to try a mineral makeup kit. Mineral cosmetics offer excellent coverage as well as superior sun protection, because some of the minerals used create an effective sunscreen. A mineral makeup kit includes products that will not clog your pores, but are instead light and natural looking.

Mineral makeup comes in a full line of products. You can select from concealers, foundation, powder, highlighter and blush for the face. Eye makeup includes eye shadows, mascara and eyeliner. Lips look great in mineral lipstick, lip liner and gloss. Brushes and applicators designed for use with loose minerals are useful so that the makeup looks its best on your face, including concealer and blush brushes, as well as retractable lip brushes. Minerals used as makeup are products that even people with sensitive skin can use with pleasure.
