DEX New York hosted an event to show us their makeup trend ideas for Spring 2009, and we were really impressed with the color! A lot of us think of mineral makeup as being all natural looking, and designed for girls who eat a lot of granola and go to bed early and stuff. Not DEX New York's Modern Minerals makeup!

DEX New York's mineral makeup provides long-lasting coverage and is so much better for you than what you're probably putting on your face every day. Remember -- your skin absorbs a lot of what you put on it, so if you put weird chemicals on your skin, some of those chemicals are going into your body. Blech!

Now you can even get crazy eyeshadow colors and lipsticks in healthy formulas. We especially like that DEX New York named their colors for New York neighborhoods -- if you live in New York, you should probably check out what color they named after your 'hood! Check out our gallery to see some of the great colors, and shop here -- each luxurious, $22 vial of loose mineral eyeshadow pigment contains palmitoyl hexapeptide-14 to stimulate eyelids and allow for cellular turnover.
