Waterproof make-up en Mineralissima: Wat je moet weten - Mineralissima

A frequently asked question we often receive is: "Is Mineralissima make-up water-resistant?" This is an understandable question, especially if you are looking for make-up that stays put all day without having to worry about fading or running. We are happy to explain why water-resistant make-up does not always suit natural make-up.

What exactly is water-resistant make-up?

Water-resistant make-up is designed to remain intact and not melt when it comes into contact with water or sweat. It usually contains synthetic ingredients and plasticisers that ensure the make-up adheres to the skin and does not come off, even under extreme conditions.

Why can this not always be applied in natural make-up?

At Mineralissima, we deliberately choose to use natural ingredients that are good for your skin. Because natural make-up does not contain heavy, synthetic substances, it is difficult to create a fully water-resistant formula that does not affect the health of the skin. We find it important to offer make-up that does not clog the skin and also contains no harmful substances that may be bad for the skin.

Our mineral make-up does offer excellent staying power, but without the artificial ingredients that would be needed to make it ‘water-resistant’. Instead of a ‘water-resistant’ effect, we ensure that the products stay on for a long time, even on a long day or under sweaty conditions. Our formulas are designed to enhance the natural beauty of your skin, and we believe this does not have to mean compromising on durability.

How does Mineralissima ensure long-lasting make-up without water-resistant formulas?

Instead of relying on heavy, water-resistant ingredients, we focus on fixing the make-up with natural fixing powders or handy tools such as blotting paper to keep the look intact all day. This offers a natural way to keep your make-up fresh and balanced, without compromising the health of your skin.

Mineral Fixing Powder: The perfect solution for long-lasting make-up

Instead of a setting spray, at Mineralissima we use a mineral fixing powder to set your make-up and keep it lasting long. This powder is specially designed to seal your make-up, absorb shine, and keep your look balanced without having to worry about fading or shifting.

Why choose a mineral fixing powder?

A mineral fixing powder acts as a natural barrier that helps your make-up stay put without weighing down the skin. It offers a light, transparent finish, so you do not need a heavy layer of make-up to achieve a long-lasting result.

Advantages of fixing powder over setting sprays:

Matte finish

For customers who want a matte appearance, a mineral fixing powder is perfect. It absorbs excess oil without clogging or drying out the skin, giving you a fresh, natural look that lasts all day.

Natural, lightweight formula

The mineral fixing powders from Mineralissima are made with natural ingredients, allowing the skin to breathe and containing no synthetic substances. This makes them an excellent choice for people who do not want heavy, chemical ingredients in their make-up.

Light coverage, without cakey effect

Fixing powder provides light coverage that does not tend to become cakey or heavy. It ensures a subtle finish that does not come at the expense of the softness of your skin.

Perfect for all skin types

Whether you have oily skin, are prone to breakouts, or simply want to maintain a healthy glow, we have a fixing powder suitable for various purposes and skin types. It helps keep make-up balanced, so you do not have to fear shine or oil, but without drying out your skin.

How do you use fixing powder for a long-lasting look?

Apply a light layer of powder after your foundation to set your make-up and extend its wear. You can also apply it over your entire make-up look for a beautiful, naturally blended result.

Use a large powder brush for a velvety soft application or a slightly firmer brush for more precision.

Gently press the powder into your skin with the brush for a matte, fresh finish that lasts all day.
