A mineral is a naturally occurring solid formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties. A rock, by comparison, is an aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids, and need not have a specific chemical composition. Minerals range in composition from pure elements and simple salts to very complex silicates with thousands of known forms. The study of minerals is called mineralogy.

An assortment of minerals.

Is liquid foundation or mineral foundation better for covering blemishes?
Q. I'm planning on getting a new foundation soon because my dream matte mousse one is running out, so which one is better for covering a few pimples or blemishes, liquid or the powdery mineral kind? Oh, and my skin gets dry from my acne treatment too so it would be best if you could suggest a foundation that also doesn't make my skin flaky looking :) Thank you so much!

A. I think you should use liquid because powder will make your face look dry. If your skin gets dry from acne treatment then you probably shouldn't use powder. The powder is gonna make the pimple look all dry and not cover them up. Get liquid foundation. Same with me my skin gets dry and if I were to use powder my face would look dry and my acne would look even worse. I use maybelline's mineral power liquid foundation. It looks like this: You should be able to find it at CVS Hope I helped :]
