Mineral makeup is made of finely ground minerals. It is made for all types of cosmetics including foundation, concealer, eye shadow, eyeliner and blush. Most often, it is in a powder form and often considered better for the skin. Smaller companies that specialized in natural makeup first brought mineral powders to the market. However, the success of mineral makeup led to larger cosmetics firms developing their own mineral lines. These companies include Revlon, Covergirl and L'Oreal. Dermatologists recommend mineral makeup for patients with skin disorders because it does not clog pores or irritate the skin. Critics state it is drying and can add years to the skin because it accentuates wrinkles.
