The Top 3 Fall / Winter Makeup Looks

1. The Pink Flushed Cheek

Apparently, gone is bronzer for winter, and apples of the cheeks placement. It's now pink, and modern. The newest makeup change is the placement of blush, and we're not saying to 'smile' anymore when you apply. Now it's applied with a strong emphasis on the cheekbone. A more elegant look, and really brings out the cheekbones.  To apply, suck in cheeks, and tap from underneath the middle of the eye, going along the top of the bone, and ending up at the temple. Our pressed Mineral Blush in Precious is perfect.

 





2. The Monochromatic

If soft and subtle is more your style, try the new monochromatic look in your makeup. In shades in beige, caramel and sand, the idea is to pick one color and match it in eyes, cheeks and lips. Try Barefoot Natural Mineral Lipstick for a almost there shade to keep lips light in color. But keep the color soft and creamy, to avoid an overall to matte effect. For cheeks, a soft beige like Demure Radiance Blush underneath the cheekbones as a contour gives definition, while eyes are kept nude with Dune Visions Shadow. Place your nude shadow in the crease of the eye only, and finish with a touch of Lush Lash Mascara in Absolute Black on top and bottom.

3. The Dark Wine Lip

 

It's not red. It's not burgundy. Think dark, dark wine. That's the top lip color of choice that was seen on the runways for fall, and it's elegant and dramatic. Keep the rest of the face soft and uncolored, or if you dare, pair it with a dark rimmed eye, either just on top, or both top and bottom lashes for the most dramatic edge. Our Absolute Black Pencil is perfect for this and is available in an all new natural formula.  Keep the lip color with a berry tone, the darker the better.  Try our Pure Lips Natural Mineral Lipstick in Obsession and pair it with Allure Lip liner – also reformulated to be natural.

Brown Faux & Black Faux Synthetic Brushes

Synthetic bristles are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. Odor and dye-free when washed, they have minimal shedding (if any). They clean & dry quickly making them ideal and safe for sensitive skin. They are the perfect compliment to our natural Mineral line! Perfect for Mineral applications in the treatment room! No animal hair is used in the manufacturing of our synthetic brushes; therefore, absolutely no animals were harmed or used in any way.

An alternative to Animal hair brushes…Taklon brushes have always been wonderful for the application of creams, liquids, and fine lining. However, they were not suitable for powders (until now). A new process has been perfected to deliver a super soft taklon bristle that finally does it all!

Our Faux brushes offer the perfect combination of softness and delivery. Not only are they super soft and full of body, they have the added benefit of being gentler on the skin. They pick up color well and deliver a smooth application. They are the softest brushes ever to touch your face. Our Faux brushes not only feel fantastic, they work great and look amazing!
