Trend watch: Mineral make-up




 - Trend watch: Mineral make-up

Hot on the heels of all things natural and organic, mineral make-up is everywhere at the moment, but look before you leap on the bandwagon. Not all mineral products are any better for your skin than 'standard' make-up. Many contain parabens, dyes and fillers, along with a chemical called bismuth oxychloride which can give a rather unatural orangey glow.  

Our current fave for quality mineral make-up is US brand Afterglow. Their organic mineral foundation contains pharmaceutical grade minerals and pigments, natural sunscreen and age-defying antioxidants. A worthy investment, especially if you have super-sensitive skin (and even gluten sensitivity).

Afterglow Organic Mineral Foundation, £28 (20 shades)
