Tips On Mineral Highlighting Powder

Over the past several years, mineral powder makeup has gained popularity among professional makeup artists as well as regular women. Because they do not contain many of the artificial chemicals present in traditional foundation, blush or highlighting powder, mineral alternatives are gentle to sensitive skin. They have a natural UV protection and help your skin stay hydrated. Mineral highlighting powders are a great way to emphasize your cheekbones, focus attention on your lips or make your eyes look bigger and brighter.

Instructions

Cheekbones

    • 1
      Begin with a clean surface. Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face. Follow this with a moisturizer designed for facial skin. Allow the moisturizer to absorb completely before beginning to apply makeup.
    • 2
      Apply your normal foundation and blush. Keep your blush light and neutral, because you will be adding more emphasis with the mineral highlighting powder.
    • 3
      Sweep mineral highlighting powder over the apples of your cheeks and the top of your cheekbones with a large brush. Apply the powder almost all the way to the hairline and gently blend it into the rest of your makeup so there is not an obvious line.

Eyes

  • 4
    Curl your lashes before beginning to apply eye makeup and highlighting powder. Apply eyeliner and eye shadow as you normally would.
  • 5
    Brush a small amount of highlighting powder onto the brow bone, using a small brush designed for eye shadow. Focus your effort underneath the arch of your eyebrow, keeping the powder light.
  • 6
    Apply mascara last, in case any eye shadow or mineral highlighting powder falls onto the lashes while you are applying them.

Lips

  • 7
    Choose your favorite lipstick and apply as you normally would. Combine it with a thick lip balm if you have dry or chapped lips.
  • 8
    Dab a small amount of mineral highlighting powder, with a small brush, just above the center of your top lip. Keep the powder close to the edge of your lip and blend.
  • 9
    Apply a dab of highlighting powder on the center of both lips for a different look. After applying and blotting lipstick, use a small brush to apply and blend the powder. This can help set your lipstick for a longer wear.

Tips & Warnings

  • Focus on one feature and keep the others neutral. Chose eyes, cheeks or lips to have strong colors and highlighting mineral powder. Apply soft colors on the other two and skip the highlighting.

Burt’s Bee’s Sensitive Night Cream

Burt’s Bee’s Sensitive Night Cream Review Skin care is something super important if you want to A. Have great skin and B. Have great makeup; so it makes sense to use a product which benefits the skin. After all, every one want’s to look great with and without the help of makeup. Burt’s Bee’s claims that there sensitive night cream provides moisture to the skin for 8 hours without causing redness or irritation. Does it do that? Well sort of… When I use a moisturiser or more specifically a night cream I like to use something that absorbs into the skin almost instantly so I don’t have to worry about product transferring onto pillows, clothing, etc and that’s one thing that I truly love about this product. It provides moisture almost instantly and absorbs into the skin as quick as you can say night cream. It doesn’t leave any residue and unlike other moisturisers I’ve tried it doesn’t spread unevenly. The scent of this is lovely and subtle, too often I’ve tried a moisturiser only to f
