Hola everyone!
I had a few minutes yesterday to check out Paula B's site and her review on mineral makeup.
I do not agree with some of her findings.
She said that for coverage on problem skin, you need heavy coverage. This is just not true. I have clients with pretty bad scarring and a light coverage is all that is needed.
She also said that this is not good for those with dry skin. Hmmmm, well, my skin is almost as dry as a person taking Accutane and I have no issues with the minerals. I have severe eczema and have literally no oils in my skin. New Years' Eve I broke out with the rash ALL over my face. I used the minerals and it really helped to calm it quite a bit. (I have food allergies and ate something that usually only breaks out the rash on my hands. Boy did I get it good on the face!)
I have not had ANY client react to the makeup. I use it on my waxing clients to calm the skin after the hair removal on their faces. (brows, lip, chin, etc) It immediately calms the skin.
It is also a sunscreen and I do NOT need any other sunscreen when I use this. I have worked outside for about six hours and had the minerals on my face and neck and not got burned, but my shoulders and arms were exposed and I burned.
This is my observations from using this on my clients and on my own skin for almost eight years. Minerals are not anything like she described them. Well, the one I use anyway, which is Jane Iredale.
