What is the best mineral makeup that will work better for a person who have oily skin and acne prone?

I am researching on Alima Satin Matte Foundation and Afterglow. Cannot decide which would work best for my skin.What is the best mineral makeup that will work better for a person who have oily skin and acne prone?
Hi! I don't know Alima I have done research on afterglow (when I was comparing mineral makeup brands) but I can tell you being a professional makeup artist I have used so many different brands and mediums and I have found a company that when compared to the other brands really beat them by far (including afterglow). I do a LOT of high end clientele. I do photo shoots, weddings etc. My advice NEVER USE ANY mineral makeup with BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE it is actually a METAL that has been processed with tin and copper. It is a skin irritant and can cause rash, itching, and in larger doses cystic acne. I do not recommend Bare Escentuals.





Here is my beef with BARE ESCENTUALS......


They are ALL about marketing (whatever you want to hear)


1)Saying they have NO PRESERVATIVES (very misleading) they DO use preservatives, in their mineral veils flip it over it says methylparabean (a harmful cancer causing chemical preservative)


2)Saying Pure Minerals- they are not as I stated before they use bismuth oxychloride which is not actually a mineral but a processed metal and cheap filler


3)Saying you can sleep in it- No dermatologist would ever recommend you to sleep in any makeup, especially ones with preservatives and bismuth


4)They use cheap fillers (bismuth, cornstarch)-more itchiness and irritation


5)They are overhyped, overpriced for what they are selling you


6)They wear off by mid day (reapply, reapply) and look pretty greasy if you have slightly oily skin (due to the bismuth, I cannot have this with photos as matte photos better)


OVERALL REVIEW- Stay away from BARE ESCENTUALS.





Afterglow sounds pretty good overall but I know for a fact they use micro and nano particles in their foundations which are pretty dangerous to inhale (links to respiratory cancers) especially since they are loose powders. After much comparison for purity, no nano particles and overall finish I found a company based out of Chicago called FAERIE ORGANIC MINERALS and I love their minerals.........


1)They ARE natural, THEY use NO PRESERVATIVES, No cheap fillers (cornstarch etc) NO BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE


2)Their minerals STAY PUT! They last all day even in some pretty extreme heat


3) Great coverage (redness, acne, oily skin etc) light as a feather, airy, natural and yet leaves a healthy glow.


4)They use a high end expensive mineral called BORON NITRIDE (this is used in the highest end mineral brands like Jane Iredale etc)


5) Boron Nitride! It is amazing on the skin. It is known to be antibacterial (actually helps acne when your wearing it), it is skin soothing and a skin perfector and makes your makeup last all day (this is what I look for in mineral makeup)


6)They offer a FREE sample kit so you can try several colors at once (you just pay shipping-like $5.99)


7)They do NOT use MICRO PARTICLES (you need to look for this as these are very dangerous to your health if inhaled and many companies use them)


8) They do no coat their products (this can also be bad for your skin and dangerous to your health watch for silicone treated or dimethicone etc- very undesirable, especially with acne)


9)They are NEVER cakey, powdery or dull like store brands which are so cheap


OVERALL REVIEW- this is the best I have used after much research and my clientele loves it too. I know you will. Check out their site it has a lot of information and they are very helpful. http://www.faerieorganic.comWhat is the best mineral makeup that will work better for a person who have oily skin and acne prone?
Not all mineral makeup is created equal.





For Acne sufferer the best product is composed by finely, milled, mineral powders.





The best qualities of mineral makeup are the following:





- a light-weight feel with the option of layering for more coverage as needed;





- the simplicity of an all-in-one concealer and foundation;





- it's non-comedogenic and bacteria-resistant properties;





- it's natural %26amp; inert ingredients;





- it's natural anti-inflammatory properties.





The two downsides of mineral cosmetics are cost and availability. The process to obtain and add the necessary ingredients to mineral cosmetics is costly.

I use Burts Bee's Mineral Powder. It really smooths out your skin and takes away the oil. I put all my regular oily foundations and stuff on and I put the burt's bee's powder over it so it doesn't make my face so oily looking.





Buy it online, it's only like $8.00
I actually would go with ';Bare Minerals'; they are the best out there.
