Top Model and Super Stars follow the
following guide when choosing a beauty, makeup or cosmetics product:-
What's a gal to do? You can't rely on labeling to tell you what's really
going on in your makeup. But there are a few ways you can protect
yourself against makeup products that may not be good for you.
The fewer ingredients, the better. After all, if you're exposed to a
multiplicity of chemicals, chance are mathematically greater that you
will be sensitive or even allergic to one or a combination of them. If
your makeup, however, is made of two or three ingredients, you'll be
able to check them out more carefully and you won't be encountering a
chemical cocktail every time you put on your makeup.
Learn the beauty industry's lingo. Look up the ingredients in your
makeup and find out what they're for and what they do. If there are
allergies reported against them, you may also find that out in your
research. So that's where that rash is coming from!
Remember that you and your skin are unique. Come popular anti-acne face
creams contain camphor, which feels cool on the skin and has a slightly
mentholated fragrance that smells clean and nice. Most people aren't
sensitive to it, but some people are. For these people, using this
"calming, cooling" cream can actually cause peeling, redness and
dryness. Even essential oils and "all-natural" ingredients may cause
reactions. You may be sensitive to something no one else minds at all.
You may be just fine with a product everyone else hates. If you
experience a rash, breakouts or stinging from your makeup, find one with
different ingredients.
Sensitive Skin? Read the Cosmetic Labels Closely for Hidden Ingredients
Especially for those with sensitive skin, fragrance free and talc free
makeup may be important. You have to read the labels—"unscented" just
means that the product doesn't contain a particular perfume, but it
often does mean that fragrance has been added to mask the less-pleasant
smell of the unfragranced ingredients. Dye free mouth makeup is
rare—lipsticks typically have some sort of dye in them, but mineral
makeup is usually dye free. And finally, the claim that a product is
"dermatologist tested isn't worth the paper it's written on. There are
no legal requirements to fulfill in dermatological testing. Even SPF
numbers are not to be relied on, since the FDA hasn't been able to
determine effective ways of testing products for protection from UVA and
UVB rays.

Oil Free Makeup
- Check the Makeup Label to Confirm
Now, "oil-free" is something a consumer can check out. Cosmetic
companies do list ingredients on the package, and you can read
whether there are oils involved, unless they are hidden by chemical
names you don't recognize. For example, palm kernel oil is also
known by its name of myristic acid, or tetradecanoic acid.
