Inspired by ballet, Aromaleigh Mineral Makeup comes up with a really romantic, yet colorful eye makeup collection :

This is a gathering of lush shades, not just the expected ballet pink. For me, ballet is dramatic, emotional, and full of tragic beauty. With almost 20 years of ballet study, I watch not only dreaming that I could be on the stage, but knowing the iron strength and control that the most ethereal, graceful dancer must have.

“En Pointe” has a little bit of everything… plush matte shades with graceful iridescent highlights, a brilliant shimmering black and white that can make any color into whatever you imagine, and some lovely frosts with multi-faceted effects. Most of this year’s collections have been straight frosts with vivid sparkling highlights, but this collection is more understated while still being full of mystery and transient beauty.

The photos of these colors barely touch what they truly are like in person…

One night, my fellow beauty bloggers and I were practicing some colorful eye makeup, and of course, pigments are the most vibrant eye colors, as mineral eyeshadows are the best in terms of color payoff and affordability!

Playing With Mineral Makeup : Aromaleigh Sonic Rocks

I know, I know, I haven’t been posting! My sincere apologies to my readers of The Mineral Makeup Blog! I owe you lots! I’ve been too engrossed with makeup school, and trying to perfect the art of seamless eye makeup that I hardly sleep anymore. Haha!

Anyway, just a treat to my readers, I’ve made a full mineral makeover of my sister using mineral makeup that I’ve never featured before here ( at least, the items! ). The reviews of some of them will be up within the week.

The subject of my makeover is my ever-up for anything little sister Suzie who’s in college. She’s allergic to alot of things that’s why I only let her use mineral makeup, and nothing else. As she got home from school, I asked her if I could make her over for this entry, and she gladly agreed. I’ve been applying makeup for her ever since makeup touched her skin, and I’d be glad to do her makeup for the rest of my life.

Here’s her before pic,

A Very Full Mineral Makeup Makeover

Crissy, one of our beautiful contributors here, has decided to “bare it all”, and show her EOTD to us!

Here’s her adventure with silver shades! Enjoy reading! - MMU Girl

Whenever I buy mineral eyeshadows, I usually get neutral colors. I’m not too confident with eyeshadow application and neutral colors are a lot more foolproof than its bright colored counterparts. My neutral mineral eyeshadows definitely outnumber any other shade of eyeshadow that I have in my makeup stash.

Weeks ago, I read an entry from this blog about storing mineral makeup sample baggies in trading card or business card holders. I bought a business card holder back then, but never got around to actually organizing my samples. So I started taking out my samples, and my sister suggested storing them by color.

Mineral Makeup Look : An EOTD While Organizing Mineral Eyeshadows

For the very first time, I am sharing an FOTD that doesn’t feature yours truly, but my little sister who just graduated from her culinary arts course. The Mineral Makeup Girl once did her little sister’s makeup too! Isn’t that just sweet, big sisters primping and prettifying the li’l ones!

When my sister told me maybe I should do her makeup on graduation day, I was totally clueless. Sure, I did attempt to put makeup on her once, like a few years ago, and it didn’t turn out so well. Much that she almost didn’t want me to touch her face ever again! Lol. I guess she changed her mind seeing how often I wear mineral makeup these days.

I have my own ideas. But in playing makeup artist , I made it a point to ask her what look she was going for and what colors she had in mind. Since the event was set a little after lunch, she didn’t want it to be too dark, or smokey or over-the-top. She was aiming for something in neutrals/coppers that would complement her floral kimono dress and rich medium skin tone. I let her pick the colors from my makeup box, mostly in neutrals, golds and coppers. Two nights before, we sort of “practiced” the look so as not to take too much time when I am to actually do her makeup.

Presenting my sister:

And this was taken after, not before the ceremony since we were running late! Here’s her EOTD:
