Q. Which blushers work best with the
different shades of mineral powders?
In general, the following combinations
work well:
Rose: Can be combined with Porcelain, Honey Light and Honey Medium
Peach: Can be combined with Caramel Light and Caramel Medium
However, other combinations can also work, as explained by one leading
make-up artist, “The peach blush works really well with porcelain skin too! I
find with blusher it’s not always a particular colour for a particular skin
tone… it's more a case of personal preference, like to using the rose more in
winter and peach in spring/summer. But if I was doing a make-up on a very pale
skin, I'd probably use peach as it’s warmer and really pale skin tones tend to
be quite cool”. Amy-Louise Saunders, Make-Up Artist
Q. What is mineral make-up?
Mineral make-up is made from natural
earth minerals - mica, clays, salts and oxides - which are crushed into finely
milled powders. Green People combines minerals with the finest blend of natural
actives to achieve various shades of colour and particular benefits. Our range
of pure, gentle and highly effective organic mineral make-up is
preservative-free and provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.
Q. Why is mineral make-up better for
your skin?
Our mineral make-up naturally enhances
your beauty, minimising fine lines and imperfections, whilst caring, soothing
and protecting your skin. These mineral-based cosmetics are 100% pure and made
without harsh, pore-clogging ingredients so are very gentle, allowing your skin
to breathe naturally and remain free from irritation.
Q. Why is natural mineral make-up
better than using traditional make-up?
Traditional make-up can harbour a wide
range of synthetic chemicals and harsh preservatives, which can be absorbed into
the skin. Chemical nasties may not only compromise the health of your skin, but
also your overall health.
Q. How does mineral make-up look on
your skin?
The minerals' silky lightness provides
a natural, full coverage. Minerals reflect light off the skin, giving the
illusion that it is smoother and flawless by minimising pores and evening out
wrinkles and fine lines - for a softer, more youthful and radiant
appearance.
Q. Is all mineral make-up more or less
the same?
Absolutely not! The purity of the raw
materials will vary by manufacturer, as will the formulas. Cheaper formulations
will most likely contain fillers and binders to increase volume and density of
the product as well as synthetic and pore-clogging ingredients. Certified
organic mineral make-up is purely based on natural and organic raw materials,
carefully chosen actives with proven skin benefits.
Q. Is the make-up suitable for
sensitive skin?
All of our make-up is free of
synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, Parabens, Silicones, Phthalates,
Artificial Colours – all well known skin irritants. Green People’s organic
make-up contains only natural ingredients making it very gentle on the
skin.
Q. Does your mineral make-up contain
sunscreen?
Our pressed mineral powders and
blushers contain Zinc Oxide and provide natural, broad spectrum UVA & UVB
protection. Our products offer SPF15, and do not cause any skin irritation. You
can increase your protection by using a natural
sun lotion before applying the mineral make-up.
