KISS Mineral Make-UP Workshop

         Last Saturday, Faceworks Clinic hosted its first KISS Mineral Make-Up workshop in Starhill. It was a 2 hour session of knowledge, fun and laughter. The idea of the workshop was to help patients understand about the difference between pure mineral make-up with semi-mineral and non-mineral make-up and the correct application techniques to apply the make-up since the way is not so conventional. Thank you so much for those who came and made the session a success. Thank you to Priscilla and her team for their dedication to the cause. Hope everyone liked the food prepared - it was a simpler brunch with some roti jala, seri muka, sandwiches, macaroni and panacotta from Mr Belo's Pudding.

Personally, I feel that this is a very good effort from KISS since even I found that I learnt a new thing or 2 during the workshop even though I did go through make-up and grooming class before. Perhaps one of the few things that fascinated me during the presentation was about how pure mineral make-up was used since the ancient Egyptians i.e. Cleopatra herself, but it was so expensive then that only the royals could use make-up (how lucky we are now), and that some of the substance used in cosmetic lip sticks is actually the same thing they put in our tar road i.e. lead. 

Another cool fact was because the make-up is purely mineral - you can keep it till it finishes, unlike the normal counter make-up that has a shelf life from 6 months to 2 years depending whether it is liquid or powder, and you do not need to worry about bacteria build up since the bacteria cannot stick to the powders.

We even had a male participant, and we also learnt that even men can use mineral make-up without appearing to wear make-up to cover blemishes, oil spots and make their skin look more even with additional benefit of a sunscreen of SPF 27 that lasts more than 8 hours. Because mineral molecules are big, it allows water or sweat to evaporate through it and it does not clog pores. This also allows Muslims to take ablution without having to remove the make-up since water is able to pass through. You just dab afterwards (do not wipe else it will all be gone) - I've personally tried this, only need to learn to not smudge the eye liner.

KISS also came up with a make-up remover and cleanser with vitamin C and a nice absorbant moisturizer with swiss apple stem cells for skin conditioning before applying sunblock and make-up. Yes, we still need to use a sunblock despite the sunscreen properties for best protection. 

So who should use KISS?

• People who love organics and natural items would love this product since it is void of any chemicals.
• Anyone who is in the working group that needs make-up on for long hours - KISS allows your face to breathe thus maintaining good skin health.
• People with acne problems because the conventional make-up and foundations will only make it worst. KISS contains zinc oxide that is anti-inflammatory, thus reduces redness as well.
• People post aesthetic procedures - YES you can use KISS immediately after lasers or peels to cover any signs of the procedure, as additional sunscreen, and to reduce inflammation. (We have a counter in our clinic for all our patients).
• People who haven't started to use any make-up yet - start with KISS, it does justice to your skin.
• People who haven't found the right make-up for their skin - try KISS, it's gentle.
• People with sensitive skin.
• Busy people - because you do not need to touch up much.
• Stewards and stewardess - because it does not dry up ur skin, it lasts long, SPF and allows your skin to breath.
• Everybody.

KISS Mineral make-up is very safe and pure that I even use it on my girls (6 and 10) without worrying about carcinogens or excessive chemicals that may harm them. Keep it safe, Keep it Simple - KISS.
