I chose to read the article, "The Makeup of Mineral Makeup" by Jane Andrew. I chose this article because, being a girl, I wear makeup a lot, so I wanted to know what is in it. I know that mineral makeup is a new trend that has just come out not too long ago. I know that it is usually more expensive than your regular drugstore makeup. I also know that it is still the basic foundation, just in a more natural form. There are multiple things that I have learned too. I didn't know that mineral makeup was free of fragrances and preservatives. Why do you need preservatives anyway? Can it really go bad? Secondly, I learned that all of the minerals are synthesized or chemically processed. That means that they aren't really "real." I also didn't realize that it takes over several different properties at once. It slides, it adheres, and it covers imperfections. This article was overall very interesting.=====
