Q.  What is the difference between the makeup I purchase at the department or drug store and mineral makeup?
A.  Bella Cosmetique™ mineral makeup contains no chemicals or dyes, fragrance,or mineral oil.


Q.  Isn’t all mineral makeup the same?
A.  What makes mineral makeup different is the quality of the raw materials and how it is formulated.  At Bella Cosmetique only the finest quality of minerals are used. 

Q.  What should I look for when purchasing mineral makeup?
A.  When you're looking at mineral makeup make sure you read the ingredients before anything else. Look for the words "bismuth", "bismuth oxychloride", "paraben", "talc", with the exception of,  mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and perhaps coloring agents like ultramarine blue or ferric ferrocyanide.  Cornstarch is also included because it has a limited shelf life and is a skin irritant.  Bismuth, although technically a mineral, is not an "earth mineral", and is a by-product of iron and copper processing. It is a skin irritant for many.
