Does > anyone have any suggestions? > Hi Adam, If you look into the so-called " natural " makeups that are now out there, most seem to be all about ground-up minerals for color (also a large percentage of the colorants in conventional makeup). They all claim to not be pore-cloggers, but I can't help but wonder how " dirt " put on one's skin would not cover up one's pores and possibly clog them. Paint is paint, whether natural or not. Then there are plant colors -- aka dyes and stains. Which are transparent, and then would be absorbed by the skin, staining it, rather than sitting on top of it. You could mix plant colors with rice powder or other plant-derived ingredients -- which might still clog the pores. Of course, whatever you put on the skin is ingested into the body by the skin. (So it needs to be edible because you're getting your filtering organs involved.) And whatever goes onto the eyes ends up in the eyes. Stuff doesn't stay put -- it migrates. Personally, I'd be more into the dye type than the mineral type, but that's because I have seriously sensitive skin. (I'm actually hoping to get mine tattooed on -- but am not sure about the ink yet.) HTH... Andrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does > anyone have any suggestions? > > _As._,_.___ Adam- I am a mineral makeup snob. I have tried many and know that many call it natural and really they are not. Here are some helpful links to guide you: Formulas as a base (don't have to use their exact ingredients) http://tinyurl.com/2rgow5 Book on making makeup http://tinyurl.com/yu3owg I would suggest looking for some blogs and groups that focus on natural makeup. They are out there. I have seen many lately. Here is a great company that makes some of the most natural makeup I have found. Based out of NY. They are called " Crush Groove " Here is a link to their ingredients page: http://tinyurl.com/2qrhhh I think they are setting the standard for natural cosmetics. Good luck Adam!
