Sweat proof makeup for your daily workouts

The makeup you put on obviously depends on where you are heading to – the office, a party or the gym early in the morning. But whereas doing up the face for a party or the workplace has many things in common such as the foundation or the makeup, you have to be careful if you are going to a place where you are likely to sweat profusely.  In such cases, you have to use specific sweat proof makeup for gym or situations where your makeup will not come off once you wipe your face with a towel. The focus of this piece will be on makeup and its application that will stay on even in tough conditions like working out at the gym. Always start your makeup routine with a primer. It creates a barrier between the foundation and the skin and hence when you sweat the foundation will not slide off along with your makeup. With sweat free makeup on, simply touch up your face periodically and you will get back to your original looks. Select a light water-based formula foundation that does not clo...

Mineral Makeup and how to use it

Before going into the details on how to best use mineral makeup, it is necessary to know what distinguishes mineral makeup from the traditional ones that you pick off supermarket shelves or the drug store. The primary difference is the ingredients used in them. The usual makeup has petroleum derivatives in the form of parabens, petroleum jelly, glycerol, and other preservatives that are laced with toxic and harmful chemicals. Long term use, especially on sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts and rashes can age the skin prematurely. Mineral makeup, on the other hand, is made from natural and organic ingredients that are free from parabens, binders, fillers and other harmful substances. Mineral makeup is suitable for both dry and oily skin. You can also use sweat proof mineral makeup safely when you workout or at the gym as the foundation does not slide off with the sweat. Applying mineral makeup is best when the skin is clean and moisturized. Allow the moisturizer to be absorbe...
