Best Mineral Makeup No. 4: Jane Iredale PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation, $42
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.1*
Why it's great: Readers agree that this mineral makeup is worth every penny. "A little goes so very far, you barely need any to get the same coverage as those lesser brands," raves one reviewer. Another agrees, saying that it gives her "medium coverage" that "lasts longer than other powders."

One user even claims this is the "best mineral foundation out there," because it doesn't enlarge her pores and the natural ingredients are good for the skin. "I have tried many mineral foundations," she says. "But this is by far the best."

TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.3*
Why it's great: Readers rave about the color selection and "silky, lightweight feeling" of this mineral blush. "The colors come out vibrant, but also last," says one reviewer. "They aren't heavy either, so they won't block pores." Another reader says this mineral makeup is great for oily skin types. "It's nice to know that it is oil absorbent, but will not dry [out] your skin."

Why it's great: "One compact lasts me forever," raves one reviewer. Another reader with "a lot of redness" and oily skin says this mineral makeup "evens out [her] skin" and diminishes the look of her fine lines and pores. It "stays put and looks fresh all day," says one reader. "I get tons of compliments every time I wear it."

Best Mineral Makeup No. 1: M.A.C. Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo, $22
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.6*
Why it's great: Our readers say this dual-color eye shadow looks like a cream, but "goes on more like a creamy, thick powder shadow." This mineral shadow is also "super pigmented," so you only need "a little amount." One reviewer says the colors are "blendable, as well as buildable."

The best mineral makeup is the gift that keeps on giving. Unlike traditional makeup products, the best mineral makeup lines are free of preservatives and chemicals — like parabens, dyes and fragrances — that can wreak havoc on sensitive skin. They can be a lifesaver for women with skin conditions like eczema or rosacea who don't want to give up makeup. And, because most formulas don't contain oil, they also won't exacerbate acne-prone skin.

As for skin-care benefits, mineral makeup contains titanium oxide and zinc oxide, which provide some sun protection. Zinc oxide is also a natural anti-inflammatory, which helps soothe irritated skin.

From powders to liquids, these mineral makeup products were voted most impressive (and least irritating) by TotalBeauty.com users. Check out their reviews to find the best mineral makeup you need to add to your beauty regimen.
