Bare Escentuals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen

Another trick that I have learned from makeup class that can be incorporated into using mineral makeup, is how to make the face smoother, brighter, and even when skin is tired, looking dull, and uneven.

My teacher was exclaiming on the wonders of iridescent powders, on how they reflect light and create an illusion of luminosity, a totally even texture, and good skin. He demonstrated on using cake powder, and iridescent powders, mixed together, and I saw how beautiful it looked on my classmate’s complexion once it dewed up.

Mineral Makeup Application Technique : Keeping Mineral Foundation Luminous, and Skin Smooth

For a very limited time ( until March 1st sellout , it’s still on sale right now, ) Aromaleigh is slashing 40% off their Valentines Eyes 2009 eyeshadows, which I think, are very very pretty. They’re not too romantic, and the usual Valentines themed eyes, but they’re actually fun colors that can be played around with!

So , what are you waiting for? Hurry, hurry!

I have been talking nonstop to my friends, classmates, and just everyone that mineral makeup is first to touch my skin every single day, and I’d want it that way. I was just wondering, and I would like to ask my readers – what made you switch to mineral makeup? Was it a funny story? A lucky strike? A decision influenced by a friend?

Let me share my experience. I was a closet makeup junkie from gradeschool and highschool, and started being a self-professed makeup addict dring college. I would devour magazine contents, specially in the beauty section, just to tempt myself to save up and buy more beauty products, and makeup. I loved applying makeup because it made me feel better. More confident. Feel more beautiful. But my skin was a mess, to start with. I had, and still have acne. Open pores. Ultra oily skin. The combination of my bad skin, and traditional makeup was a huge problem, as I sought to cover my imperfections by makeup, but I was making my skin worse.

Mineral Makeup Question : What Made You Switch?

Bare Escentuals is having a promo on one of their mineral eye glimmer sets, called Easy on the Eyes Soft Focus Eye Color Collection.

I see that the shades are very forgiving and are great for everyday use, for an over all base, wash, or a very slight contour on the crease. It also has a dual fibre brush called Soft Focus Eye Brush which will definitely apply the mineral eye colors on the eyes the sheerest, and soft-focus way, that gives off a very natural and everyday, just-lovely look.

Mineral Makeup Promo: Bare Escentuals Soft Focus Eye Makeup Set

I am not afraid to use mineral makeup everyday because it helps my skin breathe, it does not disrupt my anti-acne treatments, and it does not clog pores that causes breakouts as well. Mineral makeup is still the healthiest makeup on earth.

A Mineral Makeup Affirmation

It’s a bit rare that I review mineral makeup that is sold in department stores, moreso luxury brands. There’s been too much mineral makeup brands that I’m actually getting confused with the plethora of brands, and varieties, but when I see something exceptional, I definitely know it is out of the ordinary!

I’m starting this entry saying that Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder must be my dream mineral makeup. I’ll tell you why!

First, it’s still in powder mineral form, the purest form of minerals. I’m not exactly fond of pressed mineral makeup, or liquid mineral makeup, I don’t know why, but my affinity lies in mineral foundations in powder form. Maybe it’s just that it’s in the purest form, in my opinion.
