Health Tip

Mineral makeup is easy to use and gives a more natural appearance than conventional products, and, unlike chemical makeup, has no expiration date. “Because it’s a natural product, it can’t harbor bacteria,” says Midge Bigalow, store director at Sephora in Oak Park Mall, 11519 W. 95th St., in Overland Park. And if you fall asleep without washing your face, it’s no big deal, she says.

Mineral makeup is also a good choice for people with sensitive skin because there are no harmful irritants.

Bare Escentuals’ bareMinerals collection features products made of crushed minerals and are available in Sephora stores or at www.sephora.com. A starter kit of the makeup sells for $60.
