Basic Beauty

RAWminerals foundationIt’s easy to get swept away by all the makeup products out there. Advertisers convince you that you need both cream and powder foundations, layers of varying cheek highlighters, and a blend of several eye shadow shades, just to leave the house. What they don’t tell you is the toll such a beauty regimen can take on your skin, such as blocking pores and aging.

But the secret is out—you can look great with weightless, natural makeup. Raw Natural Beauty’s RawMinerals. From foundation to eye shadow and “Mineral Glow” powder, RawMinerals makeup provides a natural look and a barely-there feel. The powders are light and smooth, and so can be layered without turning thick and cakey. The Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide in the makeup help protect against the sun’s UVA and UVB rays, and age-defying nutrients help keep you looking young.

Make-up infused with pure plant extracts that beautify and nourish the skin. We like the sound of that.
