How is Ageless Faces different from other makeup companies?

1. The Products We Market Do Not Contain Bismuth Oxychloride. We are proud to offer a full line of mineral cosmetics without Bismuth Oxychloride through two companies – Sheer Miracle and Lady Emily and others to come. This ingredient has been proven to cause irritation such as itching and/or rash in some women’s skin. Bismuth oxychloride can accentuate pores, making them look bigger as opposed to concealing them. It is also responsible for that overly shiny look other big name mineral makeups can produce. The mineral foundation we offer through our wholesalers imparts that “lit from within look” mineral makeup lovers crave, but leaves a more matte finish. If you prefer a more dewy finish, try our Bismuth free Finishing Powder – Glow.

2.No auto-bill/auto-ship program. When you order from Ageless Faces, you can order the specific items you need and only WHEN you need them.  None of our suppliers require and auto-ship program.

3. Reasonable shipping charges. We offer fast shipping via USPS Priority Mail for a flat rate of $7.99 for any size order within the US. International shipments ship for a flat rate of $13.45 via USPS Priority Mail International which typically takes between 4 and 7 days from shipment. Other companies charge much more for shipping or add a “handling” charge.  You pay less to shop several top brand names combined into one shopping experience.

4. Money Back Guarantee. We are one of the only mineral cosmetic websites that offers a 100% unconditional money back guarantee within 30 days. Order risk free. You can return it for an exchange or refund!

5. Combined Shopping Experience. At Ageless Faces, health is so important to us that we scour the top health conscious companies and then partner with them to offer their products in one central location.  How does that help you?  You save on shipping and handling because we absorb much of the “extra” cost of products being shipped from multiple companies.

How Do You Keep Your Prices So Low?

1) No frills packaging. Our premium mineral makeup comes packaged from our wholesalers in the same quality plastic sifter jars the big name mineral makeup companies use, but without the fancy labeling so we can pass those savings on to our clients. After all, it’s the makeup that’s important, right? The jar goes in the recycle bin when the makeup is gone.

2) Caring Customer Service through E-Mail. By not having to employ full time phone operators to man phones and field customer service calls, we can keep our prices well below our competitors. We are committed to superior customer service through email. Your email will receive a reply within 48 hours – but usually within just a few hours. We like to make sure we keep our clients happy.

3) Word of Mouth Advertising. Word of mouth is one of our major marketing strategies. Our clients are so thrilled with our quality products and superior customer service that many of them end up referring their friends and family thus keeping our marketing costs low. So please…if you love our products and prices, tell your family and friends…and their families and friends!

Why Use Loose Mineral Cosmetics?

Loose mineral cosmetics are comprised of naturally occurring minerals that have been used for cosmetic purposes for thousands of years. They are the most natural makeup available today. (Cleopatra used crushed mica as her body shimmer). These minerals are mined from around the world, purified, and crushed into fine powders.

In contrast, liquid foundations require water, oil, waxes, petrochemicals, synthetic humectants, gums, and fillers (like talc) to be added to the mineral colorants as well as dyes and preservatives. Our loose, dry minerals don’t require preservatives and therefore blend easily on the skin and provide superior coverage since there are no cheap fillers.

Many of the minerals have a special luster that, when applied to the skin, give the face a lovely glow, lending a healthy, youthful appearance to blemished or aged skin – a look our customers crave.  We strive to find the best companies that offer the purest mineral cosmetics and put them all in one place to make shopping easy for you.

Can I use mineral makeup if I have sensitive skin or acne?

If you have sensitive skin, and have had bad experiences with cosmetics in the past, then natural mineral makeup is for you. While even a good quality natural cosmetic does not carry a guarantee, the likelihood of a reaction is rare since our products are free of the most irritating ingredients in cosmetics which are talc, dye, and perfume.

The mineral foundations we market have the best coverage of any cosmetic on the market. Using mineral foundation offered by the companies Ageless Faces works with will transform your life. Instead of worrying about unattractive blemishes, or running to the mirror every few hours to do touchups, with just a quick brush of the powder, your face will appear completely unblemished, from morning until night.

Even more importantly, the health and condition of your skin will actually improve with regular use of mineral foundation. The minerals not only soothe inflamed skin, but have superior oil control. Mineral foundation is virtually waterproof and wearproof.

Do I need to use an additional sunscreen?

One of the main ingredients in loose mineral foundation is Titanium Dioxide. This naturally occurring mineral effectively blocks both UVA and UVB rays, without an irritating chemical sunscreen, which is great for people with acne prone or sensitive skin. The foundations we choose to sell have an SPF rating of 30. Because melanoma is on the rise, dermatologists recommend wearing a sunscreen of some form on your face every day. Also, other symptoms of aging such as tiny lines are primarily caused by sun-damage, not dryness.

Are your mineral cosmetics a good value?

These mineral foundations last up to six months or longer depending on the size you choose and actsas concealer, powder and sunscreen, all in one. Compare our cost to similar makeup lines and you will notice a savings of almost 50%.

Compare the cost of one of the multipurpose powders offered on our site to even a cheap eyeshadow, and the value will immediately be apparent. These loose mineral powders can be used as eyeshadow, eyeliner, lip gloss, blush and nail polish. If you use them every day, they will last you at least a year. Typically, just one eyeshadow at a department store costs three times more than our mineral powder.

Remember – Our mission at Ageless Faces is to provide premium skin care products from top companies at no frills prices almost everyone can afford.

Will your mineral makeup dry out my skin?

Mineral makeup powder is a world apart from other non-mineral powdered makeups. Talc, an ingredient known for drying out the skin, is used in most non-mineral powders. Not only does talc dry the skin out, it is also under suspicion as a carcinogen (cancer causing agent). The products on our site contain NO talc. The powdered makeup, however, actually helps trap moisture in the skin.

What if I have wrinkles or mature skin?

Be encouraged! Mineral makeup refracts light which minimizes the appearance of fine lines and other imperfections. You should, however, always moisturize before applying your mineral makeup. We suggest our Miracle Repairing Oil and wait about 5 minutes for your moisturizer to absorb before applying our mineral makeup.

Can you help me figure out what shade to order?

If you are unsure of your color choice, we strongly suggest ordering samples of a couple different shades before committing to the full size product. We do offer a Pick 4 Sampler set but you will need to register for our site and email a request. We will be in touch with you as to which colors are available by sample.  Samples are non refundable.

Make sure that you test our foundation shades on your face, not your arm or hand. Your arm or hand will not give you an accurate picture of how the foundation shade will actually look on your face.

Because the colors come alive when applied to the skin, the splendor of the colors cannot be seen by simply looking at the picture or the powder in the jar.  We do make every effort to achieve the best picture possible but your best bet is to try our samples out.  You may even end up blending shades but everyone can find a shade that works for them!
