One of the most important things to consider when shopping for makeup is the ingredients list. It’s important to know what you’re putting on your skin and what kind of impact it will have on your health. Here are a few ingredients to look out for and avoid: Powders are one of the most common skin irritants. If you use a product that contains silicone or mineral oil, you may want to be mindful of how these ingredients impact your long-term skin health. Choosing a powder with humectants can help counteract this effect, as it opens up the skin to better absorption of nutrients and moisture.
Ingredients for skin highlighters can include any of the following ingredients:
When choosing humectants, you need to identify which ingredients will further entice the skin into better absorption. Some ingredients are great for opening pores while others remove oil and oiliness.
You may also want to look for dehydrated ingredients as they can help increase the skin’s water content and make it easier to absorb oil and sebum.
As dry skin is one of the most common skin issues, there’s an easy solution for it and that’s moisture-boosting eye creams! Make sure to consult your dermatologist or your health professional for recommendations.

Powdered highlighter at home
One of the most popular trends in makeup right now is highlighting and contouring. It's a simple way to make your features pop and to make your face look more sculpted. You can use a highlighter on your nose, forehead, cheeks, and even your cupid's bow. Not only does this boost your confidence, but it also gives your skin a more even glow.
The main problem regarding using synthetic or alcohol-based products for highlighter is that they are not transparent. Your skin absorbs the top layer anyway, so there’s no reason to give your makeup a heavy base. When using natural ingredients, you avoid the build-up and staining that a heavier product could cause.
In addition to the most absorbent substance on our planet, mushrooms can also absorb and contribute to the absorption of other ingredients. This can help you avoid products that could dehydrate your skin or cause sensitivity issues.
Before natural highlighters became popular, I used to use synthetic products. Yogurt, fruit juice, snow cone powder, cosmetic brushes, and concealers are all synthetic products. These aren’t necessarily bad products. But nature’s products, which are often cheaper, aren’t tested on animals, and the ingredients are more natural. They often don’t pile on the ingredients to the point where they’re more expensive.
We have over 100,000 species of mushrooms, so there’s bound to be at least one mushroom that can enhance your skin. However, you don’t have to go out and buy a cheap mushroom powder. You can make your own with a bit of effort. Here are 4 ways you can create your own highlighter with mushrooms.
Salt is one of the most natural ingredients you can add to your DIY highlighter. Adding a tiny bit of salt to pinky primer makes the colour pop all around, including on blemish-prone areas. Another bonus is that it works great as a makeup base to avoid build-up and irritation.
When I was in high school, I experimented with buying powder and blushes with different colours.
