Mineral lip gloss
The mineral lip glosses look just like traditional lip gloss but that is where the similarities end. With natural glosses ingredients include natural oils, nut butters, fruit butters and beeswax to create a smooth, rich color and feel for your lips. Also, of course, the mineral lip gloss contains the minerals: zinc oxide, mica, titanium oxide and iron oxides for color.
Some mineral lip glosses and lipsticks don't use beeswax. This works well for the vegan makeup wearers who want to look their best and healthiest which would be to use mineral cosmetics. Mineral lip glosses are not tested on animals. They contain no synthetic preservatives but are naturally preserved.
Choosing a lip gloss
Choosing a lip gloss is just like choosing a lipstick. First, you want a color that will complement your skin tone for day wear. The best look of beauty is to enhance the amazing features that you already have. Mineral cosmetics do that quite well.
For evening wear, you can choose a lip gloss that is as bold as your eye shadow. Clear lip glosses can be mixed with other mineral powders to create new colors. Mineral lip glosses contain the same natural minerals as other mineral powders so they mix together well with only great results. If the colors that are available don't meet your needs, mixing is another alternative.
Applying mineral lip gloss
Mineral lip gloss can be applied in the traditional way. You start with the lower lip and apply it smoothly across and then follow the natural lip line of your upper lip to complete the application. Lip gloss is applied with a natural or synthetic lip brush. It is thin enough for precise application.
To bring out the outline of your lips, use a mineral powder that complements your mineral lip gloss. Apply a few drops of water to the powder and use a lip liner brush to perfect the shape of your lips. Then, apply your mineral lip gloss.
Use mineral powders wet and apply to lips. Any color you can create can be mixed and covered with clear gloss to add the shine.
Mineral lip gloss doesn't have the problem of bleeding line traditional lipsticks. Your lips stay moist and beautiful all day.
