After reading an article blasting mineral make-up, I had to keep an open mind on whether or not mineral make-up is really all that much better. I remember the first time I had heard about it I was selling medi-spa equipment and products to plastic surgeons and dermatologists and I thought to myself, I had better try this stuff out for myself if they all seem to want to use and retail it. I don't use much foundation (opting for a cleaner more natural skin) so when I applied it and felt as though I was wearing no foundation, I was highly impressed. I also wanted to be sure that it did indeed work well for sensitive skin and acneic skin because I kept hearing how it is ideal for those skin types. I decided to send some to my daughter who had acneic skin and some to my mother who has sensitive skin. They both fell in love with it. I also wondered about its claim to be a good sunscreen and since I live near the beach I thought I'd try it out. I used it instead of my sunscreen and went on a long walk on the boardwalk. Not only did it work, I looked good because instead of a greasy feeling naked skin with a typical sunscreen, I was actually sporting a sun-kissed bronzed look. Needless to say I was sold. Still I had one more hurdle to clear. There are quite a few on the market; so which do I choose and recommend? I don't take recommending product lightly so I wanted to do some research. I decided to take a closer look at the bigger named mineral make-up brands and do some comparisons. I looked at many websites for insight  (such as customer ratings, information, beauty editors comments, and so on) as well as asked many professionals in this field whom I've come to rely on after 25 years in the industry. Below is an easy to read chart of what I've learned:
