As a late bloomer, one of my discoveries is
makeup. I still have a lot of improving to do in this area, but I am happy to
know that I have learned a lot in the past years that I can apply on both
normal days and in cosplay. One of my makeup discoveries is mineral makeup
through Ellana Mineral Cosmetics.

When I was just starting with makeup, I was
still using the inexpensive onesBut I found out that these brands were not good
for my skin. So I searched for the right brands and that’s when I found out
about Ellana. I can’t remember where, but I discovered Ellana from a local
makeup blog. That was around 2010 and the brand was relatively new. At that
time, Ellana was the only company I knew that offered mineral makeup and, out
of curiosity, I went to their old headquarters in West Avenue, Quezon
City.
To make the long story short, I was sold and loved mineral makeup AND Ellana
since then. As a cosplayer, I just don’t put any makeup brand on my face. I
knew it will always be part of my cosplay makeup kit. I only get my mineral makeup at Ellana
Mineral Cosmetics even though there are a lot of mineral makeup brands already.
For me, it is still the place to get the best mineral makeup because it helps make
my skin better. While I have other makeup brands in my kit, most of my makeup
is from Ellana because of its positive effect on my skin.
After having tried and tested Ellana for the
past 4 years, I recommend you to switch to real mineral makeup---whether you
are a cosplayer or not. And when real mineral makeup, I mean those without
binders, fillers, and preservatives found in other makeup brands.
That being said, here are 5 reasons why you
should switch to real mineral makeup.
1. Mineral
makeup cares for your skin. Compared to traditional makeup, mineral makeup
is not harmful on your skin, thanks to its natural ingredients. It has less to
zero irritants and doesn’t contain preservatives such as parabens that may
cause negative reactions on your skin. MMU doesn’t have fillers and binders to
“extend” the mineral ingredients.
With Ellana Minerals makeup, you won’t find
any of these harmful ingredients. Instead, they contain allantoin, Vitamin C,
and Vitamin E that takes care of your skin as you wear them.
2. Mineral
makeup is great for oily skin. Oh yes, I literally cheered when I read
this. I have oily and dry skin, so looking for the right makeup is really hard.
It is important to use makeup that won’t slide off when you oil up. When Ellana
“boasted” of this feature, I knew I had to try it---and they didn’t fail me.
Most of the makeup I used for my cosplays is from Ellana and they did well on
my oily face. I still have to deal with the heat and humidity here in the
Philippines, so I still get a bit oily in shoots or conventions. But not as
much as before, so a simple retouch or an oil film blot is enough to remove
that little oil. Mineral makeup actually looks better as the day goes on - you'll get a
glowing finish!

3. Mineral makeup contains
natural sun protection. We need to keep our skin protected from the sun
rays and mineral makeup helps you with that. Sunscreens are sometimes not
enough because they contain Titanium dioxide to reflect the sun’s rays
instead of your skin absorbing them. It's still best to wear sunscreen
underneath, but it's always great to have added protection.
4. Mineral makeup
provides a natural, skin-like finish. The thing about Ellana (or mineral
makeup in general) that I like is it won’t make my face cakey or thick no
matter how many layers I use. Other foundations I tried made my face look so
white and powdery that it doesn’t look natural anymore. With Ellana, your face
will have a natural glow. Below are just some of my cosplays where I used Ellana Mineral Makeup:

5. Mineral makeup is
affordable. Oh, I can really vouch for this and you really get your money’s
worth in buying Ellana’s mineral makeup. There are luxurious brands out there,
but you don't need to spend a lot just to get mineral cosmetics with amazing
quality.
“Our high-coverage,
long-wearing, and poreless finish foundations and powders are just P450 to P650
(for the pressed version). If you have a choice between going for drugstore
makeup that may break you out or make you oilier, we've made the
decision-making easier. ;) Go for mineral cosmetics instead!” – Ellana Mineral Cosmetics.
These are just some of the reasons why you should switch to
mineral makeup, and getting them is easy---thanks to Ellana. And now that they expanded and added new
products, I will surely buy more from them. They truly help make my cosplay
makeup better and more comfortable.
