What minerals are used in different cosmetics?
And what purpose do they serve? I need this answer for a science project.

Answer: If you are asking about mineral make-ups, I will give you a quick run down of the typical ingredients used in high end powdered make-ups, but you will have to do some research on your own to determine which are minerals and what their individual components are
Mica: Used to add pigmentation
Silica: Used to help powdered makeup slide on better
Ascorbic Acid ( Vitamin C ) which is a natural anti-oxidant for healthy skin
Zinc oxide, Titanium oxide,
Retinyl Palmitate are all used to nourish the skin
Talcum Powder:Used as filler and to reduce shine
