Supposedly the mineral glitters I mention earlier do not make your face shiny. I don't know for sure, but they talk about it on the site, how other mineral makeups do this but ours don't.... that whole speil. I just ordered a mascara and lip gloss from them. We'll see. I am curious about the brand, though I still like burts bees.

Natural does not always mean better.there are many ingrediants found in nature that can be VERY irratating to the skin.

Many people have this itching issue with the minerals make up.I believe it's because it contains talc. There are some that dont contain talc which I remember seeing in another thread somewhere.

I cant use the mineral make-up myself.It makes me itchy and makes my already shiney face look even shinier.

Your Welcome.
Just a thought,but, If you want a powder, I get a shea/emu cream from a gal that makes mineral makeup. I have not tried it because I have acne prone skin that brakes out with everything but burts bees, but I love her shea/emu cream. I bought one for my mom helpers at preschool. Look up mineral glitters. it is something like mymineralglitter.com but I am not for sure.
 
 Oh,yah, I have heard that meowcosmetics is good.

Alisa, thanks for the suggestion.  I've seen that at the health food store.  I might look into it. Smile

HI, Hairbraider.
 
I use and really like burts bees concealer. the ingredients are castor oil, sunflower oil, beeswax,vit E, candelila wax, cucumber extract,rosemary extract,and minerals for the color.
 It is a cream. I dot it where I need it. I love the stuff. I have very sensitive skin and will brake out with everything else I have tried.They have tinted moisturizers, but I have not trried them yet, I am happy with the concealer.

I need input from any of you who use mineral makeup.  What brand do you like the best and why?  Is there really that much difference between them?  I'm talking mainly about the foundation powders.  I use Mary Kay loose powder and am happy with it, but would love to switch over to mineral powder because it's supposed to be better for the skin.  (I have very sensitive skin.) 
 
This week, I ordered some samples.  When I put it on, my face started itching a little, but it went away after 5 minutes or so.  Is that possibly because of the brush I used? Or do you think it might be the minerals?  Also, my face felt stiff, like it was too dry.
 
I generally wear very little makeup.... eye liner, mascara, a little powder to prevent shine, occasionally a bit of light eye shadow.
