Rimmel Powder Makeup
Halima Wallace
These compacts seem to sell for $60-100, so I was shocked to find this new one on eBay for $10. Total cost for this project was just under $15.00. Depotting is a pain, but this piece is so unique and fun to use! And this huge pan of powder will last ages, as I am just using for touch ups.

Choose your shade from a collection of six flattering hues, including suits-everyone Transparent, Silky Beige and Sandstorm.
Talc is the major component of most powder makeup products (think face powder, eyeshadows, and blushers) that usually contain it up to 70%. Its two winning properties that make it very suitable for this role is its outstanding spreadability for a smooth application and its low covering power, aka translucency to avoid clown-like effects.
A super versatile and common mineral powder that comes in different particle sizes. It is a multi-tasker used to improve skin feel, increase product slip, give the product light-reflecting properties, enhance skin adhesion or serve as an anti-caking agent.
But being versatile means that polyethylene does not only come as scrub particles but also as a white wax. In its wax-form, it is still well, alive and pretty popular. It thickens up water-free formulas, increases hardness and raises the melting point of emulsions and water-less balms. It is particularly common in cleansing balms and stick-type makeup products due to its ability to add body, hardness and slip to these formulas.
The trio is invaluable for "skin-colored" makeup products (think your foundation and pressed powder) as blending these three shades carefully can produce almost any shade of natural-looking flesh tones.
Kaolin is a type of clay or to be precise, a naturally occurring hydrous aluminum silicate. When you hear clay, you probably think of a muddy greenish-black mess, but that one is bentonite, and this one is a fine, white powder. It is so white that it's also often used, in small amounts, as a helper ingredient to give opacity and whiteness to the cosmetic formulas.
Zinc Stearate is probably the most commonly used binding agent in powder makeup products such as face powders or eyeshadows. It gives very good adherence qualities meaning it helps powders to stick together in the pan and to stick to the skin on application. It is typically used at 3-10%, too much of it though can cause lumpiness or greasiness on the skin.
A finely powdered form of Oat Extract that has the same skin soothing, skin protecting and antioxidant benefits we have written about at Avena Sativa Kernel Extract. It is loaded with skin-goodies such as anti-inflammatory agent beta-glucan, skin nourishing lipids, and moisturizing carbohydrates. A real goodie for dry, irritated, inflamed or eczema-prone skin.
A soft, white powder that can be used as a talc replacement in body powders or in pressed powders. It also has some oil absorbing properties and gives increased cushion and richness to emulsion-type formulas.
A really multi-functional helper ingredient that can do several things in a skincare product: it can bring a soft and pleasant feel to the formula, it can act as a humectant and emollient, it can be a solvent for some other ingredients (for example it can help to stabilize perfumes in watery products) and it can also help to disperse pigments more evenly in makeup products. And that is still not all: it can also boost the antimicrobial activity of preservatives.
According to an article from the National Celiac Society, "There is currently no scientific evidence that gluten used in cosmetics that are not ingested is harmful to individuals with celiac disease." As long as the makeup remains on the skin, gluten-containing cosmetics should not pose any concerns.
Just in case you do not understand what this means the image below shows a vintage powder compact with a full inner lid. The inner lid is raised at a 90 degree angle to show the powder well containing the colourful puff.
Dear Doctor,
I am a fan of your awesome website! May I please ask you if the following ingredients for my eye makeup remover pads are are pregnancy-safe? List of Ingredients: Purified water USP, PEG-300 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, cocoamido propyl amino oxide, PEG-80 glyceryl cocoate, benzyl alcohol and edetate disodium. Thanks, Sadie
For our first survey, completed in March 2012, we selected 150 products. These included eye shadows, blushes, lipsticks, lotions, mascaras, foundations, body powders, compact powders, shaving creams, and face paints.
The FDA-validated method used in the first survey always gave values equal to or higher than the values obtained with the method used in the second survey. Both surveys showed that products such as eye shadows, blushes, and compact powders contained more heavy metals than other types of cosmetics. This suggests that most of these substances in cosmetics come from minerals used as pigments and as fillers, such as clay and talc. We would not expect heavy metals bound up in minerals to be absorbed through the skin.
Lorna Webster, who is Partner here at Hodge Jones & Allen and an expert in Asbestos Compensation Claims said: We are very concerned by the limited understanding of potential asbestos contamination in talcum powder and talc-based makeup products.
If you are suffering from breathlessness, a persistent cough, wheezing or chest pain, you should seek advice from your GP and ensure they know you may have suffered asbestos exposure, whether this be from your previous employment, the use of talc-based body powder or makeup.
If you have been affected by asbestos exposure from the use of talc-based body powder or makeup and require legal advice in relation to seeking compensation, please contact our Asbestos & Mesothelioma Compensation Team on 0808 271 9413 for confidential and expert advice.

Prime, protect & prevent with this skin perfecting primer. Wear under foundation to create a smooth skin canvas for easier & prolonged makeup application or wear alone as a brightening protective shield. [May contain (CI 77007)].
The powder comes in a normal round jar container with a blue cap. Inside the jar, there is a plastic tray sifter that provides the right amount of the product. Also, there is a round applicator puff with a holder. I like this super soft gentle puff. This is not useless like other powder puffs as you can easily use it to apply and blend the powder. I think the product is aptly priced because you get 10 grams of product for INR 640.
