Green Weddings – RSS News: http://everythinggreenweddings.blogspot.com/2009/07/eco-friendly-mineral-makeup.html
If you are looking for a pro wedding application that is also friendly to the earth, then I recommend that you try mineral makeup. The huge benefit to mineral makeup in being friendly to the environment is that it has no harmful chemicals or additives, but it is made of all-natural milled minerals that come from the earth. This is a huge asset when you consider how many chemicals and harmful ingredients are found in your normal over-the-counter cosmetics. I would also caution you to read a lot of the over-the-counter cosmetic labels that do claim to be “mineral” because many still do have harmful dyes, fragrances, and parabens. True mineral makeup is made from ingredients like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides.
The benefits to using this type of all-natural makeup for your wedding day are many because mineral makeup is:
· Non-cosmedogenic (won’t clog pores).
· Longer lasting for all day wear.
· More natural because you can control the amount that you put on in the powdered form.
· Able to lay on top of your skin in a way that your skin can actually breathe so it is still healthy for your complexion.
· Full of natural sun protection through the zinc oxide content to protect your complexion.
· Able to work best to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles so that your face looks flawless.
· Best for sensitive skin or women suffering from rosacea because it covers redness effectively without irritation.
For all of these benefits and more, I recommend using mineral makeup for an eco-friendly wedding makeup application from my experience as a San Antonio makeup artist.
Another fantastic idea to keep in mind is that you can actually look at easy recipes on the Internet of how to mix your own mineral makeup at home, which is the most green option available to you because you are not only saving on packaging, but you have control of the pigments and natural ingredients that you are using on your beautiful face!
