For that reason alone I'll never go back to liquid.  |
That and the feel of it (for me, anyway). I despise how liquid feels on my skin now.

I am a member of an industry site created for people in the industry (stylists, models, photographers etc.) to network, at all levels from amateur to pro, and he's also on this website and quite active in its forums. Reading many of his posts on those forums, I've come to see that his knowledge of makeup beyond just the basic what colours and textures go together is quite astounding. He is basically the go-to guy when anyone wants to know anything about the more chemical side of makeup. So his blog there is not just an opinion piece... it's quite rooted in fact and a lot of knowledge.

That's cool. Not sure if this is in response to my post about it being a blog entry.
Despite his knowledge in chemicals, however, the truth of the matter is, the junk in most make-ups makes people break out a LOT more often than minerals, and like I said before, just because they contain the same ingredients - doesn't make them just as good for your skin.

I agree! The smaller companies seem to have the better stuff.
