MANILA, Philippines - Haven’t you heard? Minerals are good for you. In cosmetic terms, mineral makeup is 100-percent-natural, oil-free and water-resistant. It isn’t absorbed into your skin so it doesn’t cause reactions. In Laura Mercier’s terms, her new Mineral Collection forms a faultless veil over your skin, in keeping with the makeup artist’s Flawless Face philosophy.
