Choosing Your Mineral Lip Gloss
Mineral makeup is made to accommodate the entire face. That includes the lips, too. If you are using makeup at all, it is to enhance your overall look. If you want to dress up those lips as well, mineral lip glosses can give you what you need in the tradition of fine mineral makeup.
Most mineral cosmetics are in powder form. That begs the question: How do you apply minerals to your lips? You would be correct in thinking that most mineral makeup comes in the form of pressed or loose powder.
Mineral powder can be used on the lips as well as other areas of the face. You can mix different colors to create never-before-seen shades for the cheeks, eyes and even your lips. The natural earth minerals found in these powders are applied to lipsticks and lip glosses to extend their wear.
Mineral lip gloss
The mineral lip glosses look just like traditional lip gloss but that is where the similarities end. With natural glosses ingredients include natural oils, nut butters, fruit butters and beeswax to create a smooth, rich color and feel for your lips. Also, of course, the mineral lip gloss contains the minerals: zinc oxide, mica, titanium oxide and iron oxides for color.
You can find lipsticks and lip glosses that don’t use beeswax. Vegans object to beeswax in their cosmetics. This way, they can still have the healthiest makeup products around. Animals are not used in mineral makeup testing. There are no synthetic preservatives present either.
Choosing a lip gloss
The process is the same as if you were picking a lipstick color. When wearing makeup during the day, the overall look is natural beauty. This extends to your lips as well. Choose a lip gloss color that complements your skin tone. Mineral cosmetics are good at bringing out your natural beauty.
In the evening, you can take the color up a notch just like you do with your eye shadow. Mix other mineral powder with clear mineral gloss to create a new color just for you. Since the mineral powders contain the same mineral properties, it is okay to do so. Mineral powders can also be mixed and used wet to create new colors.
Applying mineral lip gloss
Apply your mineral lip gloss just like you would any other lipstick. Apply the lip gloss to your lower lip, being careful to follow the natural lip line. Continue to your upper lip until the entire lip area is covered. You have your choice of a natural hair or synthetic bristle lip brush for application.
Mineral powders can be used as lip liners for your mineral gloss. Choose a color that complements your lip gloss but is a little darker. Add a few drops of water and apply to the natural lip line with a lip liner brush before applying your mineral lip gloss.
Use mineral powders wet and apply to lips. Any color you can create can be mixed and covered with clear gloss to add the shine.
Mineral lip gloss doesn’t have the problem of bleeding line traditional lipsticks. Your lips stay moist and beautiful all day.
