What's the deal with "mineral makeup?" Is it really better for you or just a marketing scheme to make you think it's better for you?

We turned to the popular cosmetic line Jane Iredale to answer the burning question, "why minerals?"

If you struggle with sensitive skin, we think mineral makeup is the way to go. At Jane Iredale, cosmetics are not created with fillers and possess a high rating with sunscreen protection. Apparently in non-mineral makeup, fillers such as talc are used to stretch pigment. Bet you didn't know that one! If for no other reason, try mineral makeup for this glorious claim: they are resistant to running, creasing, and smearing. What woman in Southeast Texas couldn't use that?

"Where in SETX can I get mineral makeup?" One place we know for sure carries Jane Iredale is the Medical Cosmetic & Laser Institute. We know we talk about MCLI alot, but we love them! You can even schedule yourself a mineral makeover! Sign yourself up. Tell them you saw it on the buzz!
