pressed mineral makeup

[blessedwithboys]

where do you get yours?

to be extra-specific, i want it free of bismuth oxychloride, dimethicone, and parabens. just plain old crushed minerals in a base of all-natural oils/butters. i keep finding sites that have great loose powders but all of their pressed stuff is junky.

alternatively, does anyone have a good method for pressing their own crushed minerals? i have a few empty makeup container and a bunch of crushed samples. i was thinking of experimenting...

I'm not sure how it's different from a pressed powder but I use a creme mineral foundation from http://www.raesinimages.com The base is hemp oil and beeswax.
