It depends on the category and brand of makeup. Where sparkling is desired, they use mica (in the form of sericite). When titanium dioxide is needed, it comes from minerals such as rutile, anatase and brookite. Bismoclite is a natural source for bismuth oxychloride. Zinc oxide comes from zincite.

While technically not a rock, rust is also used in makeup.
