It doesn't sweat off.
The really fascinating part of mineral makeup is that it doesn't sweat off.
See, I tried to make myself look halfway decent today even tough I was in a bit of pain, and so I put my face on as they say.
I had no idea the doc was going to do trigger point injections, so I figured I'd be ok.
Anyway, the muscle being torn, it hurts like a mofo, and when he stuck that first needle directly into it, I began to sweat on my face and around my hairline.
The pain causes this reaction to just happen, nothing I can do about it, a stabbing pointy thing in my sore back, boom!
Pain sweats.
I figured the makeup was like liquid foundation, it would run or smear when I got a chance to wipe the sweat away, but it didn't.
The only thing that came off when I tissued my face was the sweat.
I looked in the mirror once I got back in the car and was totally surprised to still see a flawless finish.
Amazing.
If I wasn't already sold on mineral makeup, that would be the selling point for me.
It gets so hot here in the summer that as soon s you step out of your nice air conditioned house, you're just dripping and need another shower.
I've spent every summer since I moved here, 11 years this June, not wearing any makeup in the summer due to the sweat issue.
I'm totally hooked and sold on the stuff now.

On the subject of trigger point injections. Aren't they the greatest thing when you are suffering and in pain. If only the relief would last a little longer.

I wish I could wear mineral makeup because it looks great, but it makes me sneeze -- no matter what kind it is.
Hope the injections speed healing along.

Are you still using the Avon stuff? I haven't tried it, but I wasn't impressed at all with L'Oreal or Physician's formula versions. I do love Bare Minerals; it just takes me a while to get my coverage like I want it.
