The latest fad in giving your face the “natural” look (because flaunting what nature ACTUALLY gave you isn’t natural, it’s just ugly) is mineral makeup.
Once again, we have a product that’s touted as being good for you because it’s “natural”, with the added buzzword of “mineral” inserted to describe “powder from crushed up rocks.”
Here’s what it says on the web site of Sheer Cover Natural Mineral Makeup ( Really Long Link of Minerals.aspx ):
“With the Sheer Cover ® Kit, you take control of your complexion and decide how you want the world to see you. If you suffer from uneven skin tone; redness; acne; or dark under eye circles, Sheer Cover will brush away your flaws and let your most beautiful skin shine through. The benefit to using Sheer Cover ® is it's makeup that's actually good for your skin!”
And here’s some more from Inika Natural Mineral Cosmetics ( Really Long Link ):
“We capture Mother Nature's richest and most flamboyant hues with makeup that is natural but sexy, with vibrant colours and versatile products," Miranda said. "Our goal with Inika is to introduce the world to a new era in cosmetics, one where you don't have to compromise colour or performance to be kind to your skin and gentle to the earth…Also, due to our dense pigments, you can completely hide skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, redness or scarring and your skin can still breathe. Many women who have severe redness are amazed at the coverage. Our foundations also have a built in natural sunscreen to protect the skin.”
The Free Dictionary Really Long Link defines mineral as “a naturally occurring solid inorganic substance with a characteristic chemical composition and structure.”
I’m feeling a little pictorial today, so get ready to see some natural minerals.
Natural Mineral 1: Zinc Oxide
Yes, that’s the active ingredient of zinc cream ( Really Long Link ) used in sun protection and anti-eczema medications.
It’s also the main ingredient in “Sheer Cover” – and here’s proof that zinc oxide can brush away your flaws:

Not a hint of uneven skin tone underneath that coating of minerals! Hooray!
Here’s two more examples of minerals helping to conceal flaws in your skin:
And it looks so natural!
Natural Mineral 2: Mica
The main ingredient of Inika’s Eternal Marine Mineral Eyeshadow ( Really Long Link ).
Vibrant? Kind of. Natural? A hundred percent.
Sexy?
Take another look.
HMMmm.
Natural Mineral 3: Yellowcake
Uranium ore, for those out of the nuclear power loop.
Just as natural as mica, but WAY more vibrant.
That brings me to my final offering, which must be the ultimate in vibrant minerals:
Natural Mineral 4: Cobalt-60
This radioactive isotope is sure to change your appearance, forever! Try some today!
Or perhaps you could just wear no makeup at all – perhaps you could just go natural.

Just like in Shakespeare's famous tragedy, Romeo and Rosacea.
