Frequently Asked Questions About Mineral Makeup

• What skin type is mineral foundation for?

  "Mineral makeup is the go-to foundation option for many skincare professionals as it works for all skin types — including sensitive or breakout-prone. Traditional foundations can irritate or cause issues, while mineral foundation is gentle on all skin," says Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead.

• What is the difference between mineral makeup and regular makeup?

  "Mineral makeup is a gentler and less irritating option than regular makeup. It offers natural environmental protection and is infused with calming ingredients. It doesn't contain fillers like talc, which can irritate sensitive and acne-prone skin," says Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead.

• What are the benefits of mineral makeup?

  "Mineral makeup offers multiple benefits such as environmental protection, complexion-evening pigments, light-reflective radiance-boosters, and soothing ingredients to avoid irritation," says Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead.

• How do you make mineral makeup look dewy?

  "For an easy dewy look spritz skin before + after mineral makeup application with a hydration mist. For even more dewiness, apply face oil, an illuminating primer, or tinted moisturizer, then add highlighter to high points," says Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead.

• What are the top minerals in makeup?

  "The best cosmetic minerals are ethically-sourced mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and iron oxides," says Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead.

• What makes Glo different from other clean makeup brands?

  "While many clean makeup brands focus solely on avoiding certain ingredients, we take a more holistic approach. Our formulas go beyond ‘free from’ — they’re designed to actively benefit the skin using dermatologist-preferred ingredients that are gentle, effective, and high-performance. Every product is created to support long-term skin health and meet professional standards." — Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead

• Are clean makeup products really effective?

  "Absolutely. Clean doesn’t mean compromising on performance. Our makeup products are non toxic and made with skin-beneficial actives that deliver results — whether you want buildable coverage, long wear, or a natural glow. The key is using the right mix of mineral pigments, antioxidants, and hydrators in the formula, which we ensure in every product." — Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead

• How do I know if clean makeup is safe for sensitive skin?

  "Look for makeup labeled as dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, and formulated without harsh chemicals. At Glo, we design our clean makeup for even the most sensitive skin, avoiding potential irritants like synthetic fragrances or unnecessary fillers. We test thoroughly to ensure safety, comfort, and results you can feel good about." — Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead

• Can I use mineral makeup on areas other than my face?

  "Definitely. Our mineral powders are safe and gentle enough for use on the neck, chest, or even the body — anywhere you’d like to even tone or add a touch of glow. Because our formulas are free from irritating chemicals and synthetic fragrances, they’re suitable for sensitive areas, too." — Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead

• Are mineral cosmetics safe?

  "Cosmetic minerals are considered safe, but not all are created equal. Make sure your mineral makeup only uses responsibly-sourced materials, doesn't contain nanoparticles which may irritate skin, and no ingredient or product is tested on animals," says Janeena Rumsey, Global Artistry Lead.
