Simply Moore’s own line of pure mineral makeup, Simply Moore Real Makeup, is a reflection of Michael’s dedication to simplicity, purity, and freshness. The custom-blended line of foundations, concealers, and bronzers—as well as a wide array of Simply Moore custom application brushes—is available at the Simply Moore studio in Cherry Creek, Denver.
Real Makeup
Per Michael's personal belief that the natural you is the most beautiful you, all Real Makeup mineral products are, indeed, natural-that is, free from fragrance, oil, dyes, parabens, and fillers. In particular, Real Makeup does not contain bismuth oxychloride, a common skin irritant to which 75 percent of women are actually allergic, and which is found in other mineral makeup lines. Mineral makeup has a silky texture, a natural SPF, and provides a medium level of coverage-enough to create an even complexion, but not enough to be heavy and cake-y. In creating Real Makeup, Michael considered how best to present a line that would not only be natural, but also be adaptable to the needs of many different facial types and skin tones. The answer? To custom tailor his products to each client. And Simply Moore Real Makeup was born.

Liquid Foundations
Real Makeup's liquid foundations are paraben-, talc- and fragrance-free, and best on mature, dry, and sensitive skin. Mineral-based and infused with botanicals, these foundations smooth, soften, nourish, and protect the skin (SPF 6 to 8). Calendula and cornflower extracts act as antibacterial agents, while linden extract and vitamin E are antioxidants. Soothing Roman and German chamomile extracts are anti-irritants, St. John's Wort promotes skin restoration, and wheat germ and jojoba oil are emollients closest to skin's natural emollients. All of these naturally beneficial ingredients can be blended into three liquid foundation versions:
1. Enriched, for dryer skin
2. Oil-free, for normal to oily skin
3. Matte, for oily or combo skin
Each formulation can be adjusted meet your skin's needs with the following additives:
· firming
· sunblock
· texturizing (this will lift the foundation up so it doesn't sit in your facial creases)
· oil-blotting
· soothing
· hydration
Powders: Pressed and Loose
Real Makeup mineral powder is known for its silky smooth finish, thanks to the mica in the formula. Other micronized minerals, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, account for healing properties and natural sun protection (SPF 15 to 30). Zinc stearate allows for remarkable adherence to the skin, meaning the coverage is long-lasting, and kaolin (French clay) acts to absorb excess oil from the skin's surface. None of these minerals give off the chalky pink color present in so many other mineral powders; instead, they simply provide a protective barrier that allows the skin to breathe.
Mineral powder is ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive skin, such as that recovering from surgery, dermabrasion, laser treatments, and other cosmetic services. In some cases, mineral powder can be used as a foundation, concealer, and powder all in one, which is great for women on the go. Real Makeup's custom-blended powders can be enhanced and adjusted with additives that help with:
· lightening (to address hyper-pigmentation, or brown spots)
· firming
· balancing
Concealers
Custom blended concealers are similar to liquid foundation in properties. See above.
