There are many different minerals used, especially when you get into pigments that range from bright red to bright blue, and everything in between. These are some standard ones.

Common minerals used in the mineral cosmetics include titanium dioxide, micas, and numerous and varied iron oxide pigments. More exotic minerals include serecite, ferric ferrocyanide, zinc oxide, straight iron, and Kaolin Clay. Beyond the minerals are other various natural and to me, strange, materials like soy and candelilla wax.
