Why Can’t I Use Foundation To Change My Skin Tone?

Answer: No matter what your skin tone, always purchase a shade that closely matches your own natural undertones.  Many women have been advised by the commercial makeup industry for years to use another shade to change their natural color in order to correct it or any flaws associated with it, with the idea they are making themselves appear more beautiful.

Olive skin in particular has been pushed toward using shades with more reddish orange supposedly to change the sallow or ashen appearance and the fact that olive shades are pretty much non existent in commercial brands of makeup, or pink shades should be used to tone down yellow skin.

This is just going to make skin look odd and not natural!

Does Your Mineral Makeup Foundation Cake?

Answer: Absolutely never! Due to the composition of our mineral makeup foundation, they simply won’t creep or glop on skin. Other mineral makeups heavy with Mica and / or Bismuth Oxychloride within the formulas are a strong contributing factor to that caked, fake look as though you are still wearing a mask.  Also the frustration which comes from having to buff excessively if you happen to get too much on at once which can result in causing undue irritation to delicate skin.

Katherine and her staff have purposely tried to cake them on our faces, piling the minerals on layer after layer and though the coverage gets heavy, they would not cake no matter how deliberate we all tried to be.

Does Your Mineral Makeup Conceal Without Highlighting Fine Lines?

Mature Senior Women Have Great Results With Concealing Fine Lines

As a rule, our mineral makeup products will conceal fine lines without highlighting them.  We have heard from the majority of mature women who purchase our minerals are 40 and older and have had great results with concealing under and around the eyes without enhancing their fine lines and wrinkles.  In fact, we have many senior women also in their 60’s and 70’s who love how well our mineral powders work for this application.

How Do I Get Coverage Like Bare Minerals?

ANSWER: Bare Minerals is a very heavy mineral makeup due to it containing Bismuth Oxychloride.  So it requires the ongoing buffing you are used to doing to get it to blend well and to stay on the skin, otherwise it slips into fine lines and creeps throughout the day.

When using Sterling Minerals Foundation it does not require all that buffing action you are used to.  Since our minerals are uniquely different than most mineral makeup sold on the market today, you simply need to press and sweep with only slight buffing for blending into hair line and to give a nicely polished look to the skin.  Make sure your skin is always well moisturized also.
