Mineral Makeup has been around for more than 30 years, but is still being considered the new trend. The reason for this is that for many years, very few people used mineral makeup and its use was kept somewhat under the radar. With so many different types of makeup that causes all manner of breakouts, it only makes sense to utilize mineral makeup whenever possible in order to minimize these types of breakouts. In other cases, mineral makeup can be easy on sensitive skin, preventing flaking and peeling. With all of these benefits, it is not surprising to see so many women flocking to the mineral makeup products.  

One of the biggest Makeup world secrets is IL Makiage Mineral Makeup.  IL Makiage was established in 1972 by a makeup artist, and has been widely used among professionals in film, television and fashion industry in the United States. Key Makeup Artists like Bobby Brown, Francois Nars, Dick Paige and the late Kevin Aucoin were all trained by Ilana Harkavi - owner and founder of IL-Makiage USA.  Among IL Makiage clients to mention a few are: Cher, Bette Midler, Madonna, Lisa Marie Presley, Diana Ross, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Demi Moore, Cicely and Uma Thurman. Ilana Harkavi's love for makeup lead to founding IL Makiage to develop palettes of over 500 shades - the largest in the world. IL-Makiage changed the face of makeup. In 1970's when other companies Makeup ranges were limited to neutral colours, IL Makiage boasted multiple ranges of colours in foundations, eye/lip pencils, the 21 lip kits and highlighter dust as its own product. IL Makiage was the first company to create matte eye shadow. By the 2000 the brand blossomed into an international brand having distribution throughout Europe and the Pacific Rim and 2008 having launched in Australia and New Zealand.

The positive effects of mineral makeup seem to be endless, with women comparing it to traditional makeup giving it the thumbs up almost every time. For many, the fact that mineral makeup does not feel like a mask - what makes all the difference in the world. The effect of walking around with a heavy mask that feels like latex on your face can be uncomfortable and undesirable. Anyone with sensitive skin or anyone that struggles with clogged pores, dryness and allergic reactions would be well advised to try the mineral makeup that is available to replace the traditional types of powders and liquids.  Furthermore, Mineral Makeup contain ingredients that are actually good for the skin. Minerals such as magnesium, zinc and titanium rejuvenate the skin and refresh the body, offering a spa level beauty solution in the comfort of your own home. Using mineral makeup is the new trend for several reasons, not the least of which is its ability to help protect the skin from the sun.
