Smart cosmetics shoppers know that the best mineral makeup is unlike the rest of the mineral makeup offerings. There are lots of reasons to be interested in buying mineral makeup, including:

* Consistent use of mineral makeup often eases symptoms of adult acne and rosacea

* Mineral makeup provides a natural SPF of 15

* Mineral makeup has a lighter, more natural look

* Mineral makeup is very flexible

* Mineral makeup does not wear off

* You can sleep in some types of mineral makeup with no ill effects

You should know that just buying a product labeled “mineral makeup” is not enough.

To get all the benefits, you need the best mineral makeup available. This does not necessarily imply that these makeup products will be the most expensive. It does mean that these cosmetics have special qualities that their counterparts do not.

Here are four ways to find the best mineral makeup on the market:

* Keep an eye out for artificial colors and fragrances - There will be no artificial colors or fragrances in the best mineral makeup. This does not mean that the best mineral makeup is limited to earth tones. It just means that you should not see ingredients like “yellow dye # 5” in the ingredients list.

* Try to avoid talc - Large quantities of talc have enabled many makeup products to label themselves as mineral makeup. Talc is a mineral. But it is also a common allergen and is often used as filler to bulk up cosmetic products. The best mineral makeup will not contain talc.

* Always watch for Mica, Zinc and Titanium - Mica is a natural wrinkle camouflage because it reflects light out of wrinkles. You will get a natural sun protection barrier of SPF 15 thanks to zinc and titanium. These natural earth minerals can be processed without excessive chemicals.

Frequently the best mineral makeup products will only contain these minerals and a few other ingredients.

* Look for short lists of ingredients - The best mineral makeup is simple. You should aim to find products that reflect this. Some mineral makeup lines have as few as five ingredients.

If you want a wider array of colors, then you may need a few more components. In general though, simpler is better.

A little research will go a long way when you are looking for the best in mineral makeup.
