Q Please can I know the difference between mineral make up and normal make-up? And can you name some good mineral make up brands and where they are available in Bangalore.
A Mineral make-up is made from the natural minerals that are found on earth like zinc oxide, iron oxides, titanium dioxide, etc. Pure mineral make-up is said to be free of chemicals, dyes, alcohol and artificial fragrances. In mineral make-up, the foundation, blush-on, bronzers, etc.
are all in powder form. The texture of mineral make-up is said to be light and gives the skin a natural texture. Since it is in powder form, I personally feel that it is more suited to normal to oily skin and not so suited to dry and mature skin. Normal make-up contains other ingredients. For example, in our herbal make-up, we have used herbal and floral extracts, as well as natural oils. We do not mention brand names. However, if you go to large cosmetic stores, you would be able to find the products of different brands.
