You are quite correct in that mineral makeup is made from some of the same ingredients. However if you look on the lists for the liquid makeup you will see some pretty nasty ingredients that are not in mineral makeup. I know because I make minerals. I wanted to get away from the chemical icky stuff and the oils and preservatives, parabens, and all of this sort of mumbo jumbo. You see mineral makeup is actually a much cleaner makeup with very few ingredients like serecite, micas, iron oxide, boron nitride is also a mineral and even talc. Rose talc and french talc are actually natural miinerals. Some folks are opposed to talcs and I myself don't use it on a regular basis just because I use other ingredients. I do like talc though. It is so silky. I hope I don't get into trouble with the
moderators for this reply. I just wanted to pass along my knowlege of minerals and since I do make my own personal stuff I deffinitely know what is in it and what is not in it. In my opinion minerals are the better choice. But each will have to decide for themselves.
