Is there any mineral make-up out there without bismuth?

Someone just told me that it is Bismuth that makes the Bare Minerals products make your face itch. Is there any other make-up out there that has just as good coverage without the itchiness??Is there any mineral make-up out there without bismuth?
Being a professional makeup artist and having tried so many brands and mediums of makeup I can help you narrow this down and make your own choice. Here is a list based off my experience and expertice and why..........


1) No to Drugstore brands (loreal, maybelline, revlon, neutrogena etc.)........They are loaded with chemicals (including bismuth oxychloride- which is not a mineral but a metal that has been processed with tin and copper, it is well known to cause itching, rash and acne) that can aggravate your skin and break you out. Due to these unneeded chemicals and fillers they also leave your skin looking powdery, cakey, strange and dull and with time will make for an overall unhealthy complexion


2) No to bare escentuals..........this is one company who has waaaay to much hype, most of the time it's from people who have never used anything else so they haven't tried anything better. Bare escentuals uses Bismuth oxychloride which is bad for your skin. (as stated above.) they are also not truthful as they say no preservatives yet they use chemical parabeans in their mineral veil and other formulas. They also use cheap fillers like cornstarch and that is the main ingredient in their mineral veil. Their makeup wears off by midday and looks very greasy and shiny.





There are many great mineral companies out there that do not use bismuth oxychloride, I have chosen the one I use after much research looking for purity, absence of chemicals and preservatives, adhesion(how long it stays on) and overall finish (how it looks on)





I use Faerie Organic Minerals a company based near chicago, I really can't say enough good about it. Heres a few reasons I choose them above others....


1)They are natural, no preservatives, no chemicals, cheap fillers or binders, NO BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE


2)they are good for your skin, they help exsiting skin conditions like acne, roseaca, sensitive skin due to the zinc oxide and boron nitride


3) the ingredients they use are listed on the safety cosmetic database http://cosmeticdatabase.com and rate as very safe for your skin and health


4)their minerals are lightweight, airy, natural looking, blend easily, cover redness, acne etc very well and best of all last all day and leave a dewy glow (most companies lack somewhere in this list)


5)They are more affordable than most mineral brands


6)you can get a free sample kit to try first. It comes with 2 foundations, sheer veil (oil absorber) and bronzer


I am sure I am forgetting some additional pluses but you probably getthe idea. This was my choice based on my experience and expectations. I do recommend getting the free sample kit though. http://www.faerieorganic.comIs there any mineral make-up out there without bismuth?
Yes there are mineral makeups that dont have bismuth in it. I have sensitive skin %26amp; bismuth makes my face burn %26amp; itch %26amp; have breakouts. I tried Bare Minerals %26amp; Loreal before finding out bismuth was not good for my face.





Check out Physicians Formula cosmetics. Theres no bad ingredients in this makeup. Plus~ Its not expensive %26amp; easy to find in most drug stores or stores like Target, Walmart, etc.
