What Is Mineral Makeup?

ESCA makeup is just another name for what has been called mineral makeup for years. ESCA is simply an acronym for Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis. (Aren’t you glad they decided to just use the initials?) ESCA is a process used to determine exactly what is in a substance. ESCA Makeup has become a generic term to describe mineral makeup that has undergone testing to determine exactly what is in it.

Mineral makeup is a name applied to cosmetics made from all natural, organic minerals. These mineral cosmetics include everything from foundation and concealer to blush and eye shadow and since mineral makeup products come from nature they look more natural and tend to give the skin a warm, healthy glow.

The first thing most women notice about mIneral makeup is the consistency. Mineral makeup is not sticky like your standard makeup. Instead, mineral makeup is a light, dry powder. Applying this dry powder requires a little bit of getting used to but, in the end, requires much less product to achieve better results. Also, because of the dry powder texture, it is possible to use mineral makeup on dry or oily skin with the same effect. The powder simply absorbs the oil from the skin instead of trapping it in the pores.

Since mineral makeup products are produced from natural elements instead of man made chemicals they are much less irritating to sensitive skin. In fact, many women have reported an improvement in the overall condition of their skin after only a few weeks of using mineral makeup. As strange as the concept sounds, it is now possible to wear these mineral makeup products that help you look your best and provide essential minerals to your skin. Makeup that is good for your skin. Who would have thought it?
