Thumbs up The reasons we like mineral makeup

Okay this is a thread to help people out if they know someone whose life can be changed by MMU

Reply with either:
  • one reason why MMU is great
  • a testimony for someone else's reason
Let's see how many we can think of!
First reason: MMU has a wide selection of colors and shades, noticably in foundation. MMU can cater to the lightest, most fair, those with the deepest skin tones, and everyone of any depth/undertone in between. This is not something many traditional makeup brands can boast.

If there's a thread already like this, please delete this one. Let's get creative!

Re: The reasons we like mineral makeup

Mineral makeup is easy to apply, can be cheap, suitable for sensitive skin, has different effects like dewy or matte. These are just my reasons.

I LOVE the fact that MMU offers total coverage, yet no 'masklike' look/feeling, it's like I'm not even wearing anything at all!

Hoozey, if you ever decide to open your own MMU company (I know you said no way!) that would be the perfect motto/slogan for you! Haha!

ETA: Love MMU because it stands up to any kind of weather! Rain or shine!

Re: The reasons we like mineral makeup

MMU is cheap to sample...you cant test liquid foundations for $1-$2.
Samples can last for 1 month or more.
It is so easy to apply...skipping the extra step of powder after foundation.
It lets my skin breathe.
It makes my skin looks great.

you can test liquid foundation for free. only for department store brands. you have to ask them for samples. drugstore brands, you have to buy in order to test it.

Re: The reasons we like mineral makeup

suitable for sensitive and acne prone skins, lets my skin breathe, good coverage without the "mask" effect of a liquid foundation, easy application, the possibility of sampling until you find your shade, that's definitely easier with MMU.
they're the most significant for me.

yeah but it's intimidating to ask for a sample at most counters =0)

Re: The reasons we like mineral makeup

I just discovered today that it has built-in SPF!!! So I have an excuse not to wear those greasy spf lotions! I also love the coverage, it's much more even than liquid foundation and closer to achieving the airbrushed look!! Oh and let's not forget the price! I also feel somewhat good supporting the smaller mmu stores that really care about their customers rather than the large snobbish companies!

That is an awesome point.

The small MMU companies offer high quality products that are very economical. Every small MMU company I have done business with has great customer service too. They do care about their customers.

The large cosmetic corporations don't care about ONE person. There is always a new customer to take their place if someone stops using them.

Small, home-based businesses VALUE the customers they have. Small businesses know a loyal customer's satisfaction will most likely bring them a new customer. Word of mouth is priceless to small businesses. That, of course, is the best advertising any business could ever have.

Re: The reasons we like mineral makeup

Mineral makeup is great because it does not look like you have on makeup at all. IT looks like your skin only 10x better. I hated the way that I looked with heavy foundation. This is really the way to go. And it feels so nice applying it as well.

Re: The reasons we like mineral makeup

very little goes a long way
i can choose to make my own HG whenever i want to with low price thats what u cant do with regular makeup.
regular makeup eats up your beauty later on in your life like poison. LOL
