What is Mineral Makeup

You have probably stumbled around about mineral makeup many times before, but do you know what it means and what are the benefits of wearing mineral products?
In fact they are free from all the emollient oils and waxes, which can be harmful for the skin, especially for those who suffer from acne issues. So if you have acne, mineral makeup is the best for you.
Also, mineral products are preservative and fragrance free, which are the substances that usually cause irritation. To make sure you're buying mineral products, read the labels: if it says "mineral-enriched" or if the formula is liquid or mousse, these may contain ingredients such as parabens, preservatives or other chemicals.
Younique has many products that are reliable, with a great variety of colors, that are just gorgeous!

Tips - How to Wear Colorful Makeup

  

Colored makeup is very trendy this season, and Younique has a great range of colors in their Moodstruck Minerals Pigment Powder collection, so here are a few tips on how to wear colorful makeup.

• Consider the type of makeup you want and the various items that you will want to use: shadow, pencils, lipstick, blush, etc.. 
• If you use blue eyeshadow, for example, opt for a peach blush on the apples of your cheeks and pink lipstick on your lips. 
• The shadow should blend in perfectly with a coral blush; on the lips go for red tones. 
• If your skin tone is darker, go for shades like navy blue or navy. It's the perfect combination! 
• If you don't feel very safe with these choices play it safe and choose only one point of the face with more color: eyes, mouth or blush; for the rest of the face, go with neutral tones.

How to - Colorful Eye Makeup

Want to get this gorgeous, colorful, summerish makeup? Just get the 100% natural, chemical-free, mineral-based pigment powders from Younique. You will need 4 shades: Sassy all over the eyelid, Glamorous as an eyeliner (mixed with a tiny bit of Rose Water), Regal in the inner corner and Heavenly on the bottom outer corner of the eye.
Make sure you blend all these shades very well with a clean Deluxe brush, for a natural look.

3 Eye Shadow Tricks

1. If you don't want to have a heavy eye makeup, apply the eye shadow slowly by picking up a little bit of product with a Deluxe Eye Brush, and blend it very well with a clean brush on the crease.
2. You can also damp the brush in water before applying the product for better definition and color intensity of the shadow.
3. An easy and beautiful way to use the Moodstruck Minerals Pigment Powder is to pick two shades (one light and one dark) and apply the lightest on the inner corner and the dark one in the outer corner, creating a fusion with no contrasts between them.

How to preserve Makeup

Have you ever wondered if makeup has an expiration date? Or if it gets ruined, just as food, when exposed to constant heat?
That's right, makeup is sensitive and it requires some care so their formulas stay intact, without any bacteria, or melting down.
Here's how to preserve the makeup:

• Do not store the makeup in the bathroom, because the constant change in temperature and humidity cause the least lasting products. 

• Avoid places where the direct sunlight hits. Water-based products can dry out if exposed to the sun on a daily basis. 

• Store them in a necessarie inside your wardrobe so the packaging does not catch dust and are also conserved.

The Best Makeup For Deep Eyes

Start by using a clean pigment as an eye shadow all over your lid, like the shades Angelic, Sexy and Curious from the Younique's Moodstruck Minerals Pigment Powder Collection.
Apply a coat of mascara, preferably a volumizing and long lasting one, like the 3D Fiber Lashes, only on the upper lashes.
Make sure your eyebrows are perfectly defined and arched.

Summer Eye Makeup

 

Want to know how to get this gorgeous colorful eye makeup for summer? It's pretty easy: just keep your eye makeup neutral, and add a pop of color on your lower lash line with the Younique Moodstruck Minerals Pigment Powder in the shade Heavenly with a liner brush.

Keep it neutral on your lips as well with the Lucrative Lip Gloss in the shade Luxe.

Get The Look: Moodstruck Minerals Pigments

This is a lovely look, perfect for Spring and Summer nights, and suitable for every eye color.
The skin is flawless, with a powdery finish, and bronzed.
Thick and defined eyebrows, big lashes and colored eyeliner/smoky eyes:

Here's how to get it:
Pick the Younique's Moodstruck Minerals Pigments in the shades Playful, Glamorous, Corrupted and a tiny bit of Infatuated (for the crease).
As for the crease, use the pointy part of the shader brush to apply and then blend it with the Deluxe brush.
On the lid, mix both Corrupted and Glamorous and apply with the same brush. Don't overdo it, it's always better to build up the color than applying too much just at once. Blend the colors very well with the Deluxe brush.
As for the liner part of the look, mix the Playful pigment with just a drop of Rose Water, to get the wet liner effect, and line the bottom of the eye from the inner corner to the outside and stop in the middle of the eye. Then with the Glamorous pigment, with a drop of Rose water, continue from the center of the eye to the outside corner. Then with a clean brush (the Deluxe or even the Concealer brush), blend both colors very slightly.
Finally, with the darkest shade, the Corrupted, draw a "v" shape in the outside corner of the eye, to create depth, and blend very well.
Finish this lovely look with a coat of the 3D Fiber Lashes and you're ready to go!
