Mineral makeup is the very first type of cosmetics used by the women of ancient Egypt. The Nile River provided them with mineral ingredients: ocher, metal oxides and others. Minerals in their pure form, crushed to a powdery state, form the basis of mineral cosmetics. Externally, mineral powder is no different from ordinary. It is transparent, white, matte or beige in appearance. The difference is only in the speed of application (preliminary adjustment and tinting is not required), and in the consumption of the product (very little mineral makeup is required).
