"[The]mineral makeup market has doubled since it came out", says Karen Grant, the senior beauty analyst with the NPD Group, a market research company in Port Washington, N.Y.  "Because the makeup contains natural pigments rather than dyes, its colors tend to be deeper, richer and longer lasting. So women with acne scars, rosacea and broken capillaries tend to favor it, as do wedding makeup artists, as it can be used with little fear of allergic reactions."

"If you've tried mineral makeup in the past, you may have found it hard to work with, overly pigmented, or too thick. But formulations have improved dramatically, and the ones being offered now are lighter, finer, and come in a wider range of colors."

"Minerals are a perfect choice for people who have sensitive skin, rosacea, or acne, because they're oil-free and won't irritate the skin," says Paul Jarrod Frank, M.D., a New York City-based dermatologist.

Mineral makeup is rapidly becoming the most widely used makeup in the world.  Professional makeup artists and average women alike are amazed at the excellent coverage, light feel and natural look of the mineral powders.

The Secret Mineral Cosmetics uses only 100% pure minerals and does not contain Bismuth Oxychloride.  This is important to note because as the mineral makeup craze sweeps the world, many companies are creating mineral-based makeups which still contain many of the harsh chemicals consumers are trying to avoid and/or may contain heavier minerals such as Bismuth Oxychloride.  Make sure to read the labels carefully before selecting a brand.

Mica is the main ingredient in mineral makeup and is found abundantly in the Earth's crust.  It occurs naturally in as many as 15 different colors which are pulverized, filtered, and blended to make a vast array of vibrant, iridescent shades.

Mineral makeup is dermatologist recommended, completely hypo-allergenic and it will never clog your pores.  It contains no artificial chemicals, oils, dyes, or fillers.  Even the most sensitive skin wears it comfortably.  And extended use actually allows chemically damaged skin to heal and repair itself.

Mineral makeup is perfect for any skin type and works with the natural oils in your skin to provide a longer lasting, more natural look.  It is ideal for any woman but it particularly attracts women who are tired of the traditional, heavy feel of liquids and creams, women who are concerned about what they put on their skin, and/or women who simply love good makeup.
