The new mineral makeup—just in time for the vibrant shades of spring.
Mineral makeup may be sweeping the beauty nation, but most connoisseurs know that for all its benefits (it allows the skin to breathe, provides natural sun protection and is anti-inflammatory and free of talc and mineral oil), most of the lines have a limited colour range for lips, cheeks and eyes.
Teye Make Up breaks from convention by offering highly pigmented, dramatic shades, not to mention playful palettes such as a leopard-print bronzer, a striped blush and highlighting powder. According to Dan Thompson, creative director of Teye International, mineral makeup was originally created as a healthy alternative to conventional makeup, and there was little demand for high-fashion shades—hence the overall lack of selection.
“Since we’re subsidized by Oasis Spa, we have the luxury of producing what we want,” Thompson says. That means Teye can also offer a liquid foundation, another mineral product that’s difficult to find. “There’s a tendency to lose the sunscreen factor because the titanium dioxide becomes diluted.” Not to fear—because Teye’s is creamier, it boasts an SPF of 15.
