Mineral makeup is not just for the eyes and cheeks. What about your lips? They need to be tended to you want an overall natural look of beauty. For your glossing pleasure there are mineral lip glosses to choose from that will complement your facial features.

Most mineral cosmetics are in powder form. That begs the question: How do you apply minerals to your lips? You would be correct in thinking that most mineral makeup comes in the form of pressed or loose powder.

Mineral powders can be used on all areas of your face including your lips. Many colors can be mixed with one another to create a new shade for your eyes, cheeks and yes, your lips. But also minerals can be applied to lipsticks and lip glosses for long lasting beautiful wear.

Mineral lip gloss

The mineral lip glosses look just like traditional lip gloss but that is where the similarities end. With natural glosses ingredients include natural oils, nut butters, fruit butters and beeswax to create a smooth, rich color and feel for your lips. Also, of course, the mineral lip gloss contains the minerals: zinc oxide, mica, titanium oxide and iron oxides for color.

Some mineral lip glosses and lipsticks don’t use beeswax. This works well for the vegan makeup wearers who want to look their best and healthiest which would be to use mineral cosmetics. Mineral lip glosses are not tested on animals. They contain no synthetic preservatives but are naturally preserved.

Choosing a lip gloss

Choose your mineral lip gloss like you would choose a lipstick. The color will complement your skin tone for day wear. This enhances the natural beauty in you just like the rest of your mineral makeup.

In the evening, you can take the color up a notch just like you do with your eye shadow. Mix other mineral powder with clear mineral gloss to create a new color just for you. Since the mineral powders contain the same mineral properties, it is okay to do so. Mineral powders can also be mixed and used wet to create new colors.

Applying mineral lip gloss

Apply your mineral lip gloss just like you would any other lipstick. Apply the lip gloss to your lower lip, being careful to follow the natural lip line. Continue to your upper lip until the entire lip area is covered. You have your choice of a natural hair or synthetic bristle lip brush for application.

Mineral powders can be used as lip liners for your mineral gloss. Choose a color that complements your lip gloss but is a little darker. Add a few drops of water and apply to the natural lip line with a lip liner brush before applying your mineral lip gloss.

Like we said above, mineral powders can be wetted and applied to the lips. Clear mineral lip gloss can be applied over the powder for a ravishing new look.

Mineral lip gloss goes on smooth without the bleeding effect. It lasts all day long and keeps lips supple and moist not dried out.
