Making Mineral Makeup April 5, 2008

Did you know that with very little equipment and materials, you can make your own foundation, blush and eye shadow at home? It's not only fun and makes a great gift, but the cost of the raw materials is about one-tenth of what you would pay at a name brand cosmetic company - for the same or better quality!

Come and learn about all the raw materials commonly used to make loose mineral makeup from scratch like zinc oxide, bismuth oxychloride, micronized titanium dioxide, iron oxides and serecite mica. You will gain insight into the world of specialty pigments -- colored micas, interference colors and the like -- which you can use to blend your own shades of makeup. We'll also discuss the different brushes and containers that are commonly used with mineral makeup, as well as where to purchase all your supplies.
