I was reading one of the books I had that advocates getting rid of all the unnatural chemicals in your life. She has suggestions for what to use instead of what you normally use for everything. For makeup, she suggests using cornstarch instead. I knew that wouldn't provide enough coverage for me (besides, from the ingredients, it seems all the ingredients in the mineral makeup is natural), but I thought I'd give it a try to cut the irridensce we've been talking about from the mineral makeup for photos. Let me tell you, it works great over the mineral makeup! It's so cheap, too, and it hasn't clogged my pores! It doesn't make me look white at all, it actually makes the mineral makeup look even more natural. I was pretty sure it wouldn't break me out, because I've read when a baby has diaper rash, that's the most effective thing you can use to get rid of it fast (and it worked for DD in that matter), and sure enough, it didn't break me out at all.
Just thought I would share in case anyone else wanted to try it.
