Recently I wrote about how much I really like Mineral Makeup. I hadn’t used mineral make up before but now that I am, I’m loving it.

After I got the Jan Iredale Pure Pressed Base in Bisque sample, I got another sample. This time it was a GloMinerals GloPressed Base in Golden Light.

Now I’m torn. I really like the ability to mix the powders together to get the exact color I need but I’ve found I can make quite a mess on myself and my bathroom counter no matter how careful I am.

But the pressed powder form is good too because I get only what I need on the brush and I don’t make a mess. However, it is harder to mix the colors if I want to.

In either case, I get SPF protection which I like. And both forms feel and look great on my skin.

I recently found a blog, The Mineral Make Up Blog. The blog is entirely about mineral make up, the different brands, reviews of the different brands, and information on how to apply the mineral makeup. I especially like Applying Concealer entry and the How To Keep Mineral Makeup Stay Put On Your Skin entry. They are both great tips on using mineral make up properly.

I’ve got a lot to learn about mineral make up!
