Mineral makeup is not just for the eyes and cheeks. What about your lips? They need to be tended to you want an overall natural look of beauty. For your glossing pleasure there are mineral lip glosses to choose from that will complement your facial features.

Most mineral cosmetics are in powder form. That begs the question: How do you apply minerals to your lips? You would be correct in thinking that most mineral makeup comes in the form of pressed or loose powder.

Mineral powder can be used on the lips as well as other areas of the face. You can mix different colors to create never-before-seen shades for the cheeks, eyes and even your lips. The natural earth minerals found in these powders are applied to lipsticks and lip glosses to extend their wear.

Mineral lip gloss

Mineral lip gloss is just as soft as traditional lipstick but the ingredients are different. Natural mineral lip glosses contain naturally occurring oils, beeswax, fruit butters and nut butters to create the rich base for the gloss. The natural minerals are also added: mica, titanium oxide, zinc oxide and iron oxides (to provide color).

Some mineral lip glosses and lipsticks don't use beeswax. This works well for the vegan makeup wearers who want to look their best and healthiest which would be to use mineral cosmetics. Mineral lip glosses are not tested on animals. They contain no synthetic preservatives but are naturally preserved.

Choosing a lip gloss

The process is the same as if you were picking a lipstick color. When wearing makeup during the day, the overall look is natural beauty. This extends to your lips as well. Choose a lip gloss color that complements your skin tone. Mineral cosmetics are good at bringing out your natural beauty.

In the evening, you can take the color up a notch just like you do with your eye shadow. Mix other mineral powder with clear mineral gloss to create a new color just for you. Since the mineral powders contain the same mineral properties, it is okay to do so. Mineral powders can also be mixed and used wet to create new colors.

Applying mineral lip gloss

Apply your mineral lip gloss just like you would any other lipstick. Apply the lip gloss to your lower lip, being careful to follow the natural lip line. Continue to your upper lip until the entire lip area is covered. You have your choice of a natural hair or synthetic bristle lip brush for application.

If you want to accentuate your lip line, use some mineral powder in a shade similar to your lip gloss. Mix a little powder with a couple drops of water and apply with a lip liner brush. Add your mineral makeup last.

Like we said above, mineral powders can be wetted and applied to the lips. Clear mineral lip gloss can be applied over the powder for a ravishing new look.

Mineral lip gloss doesn't have the problem of bleeding line traditional lipsticks. Your lips stay moist and beautiful all day.
