Look 1: Daytime
For a day look I like to keep it simple. I tightlined my eyes using Mineral Maven™ Pro-Vitamin Gel Liner to give them emphasis and depth, as well as mascara to lengthen my lashes. I also used Mineral Maven™ Organic Eye Shadow in the color Penny for a light shimmer in conjunction with my favorite bronzer combinations. For a pop of color I chose a more defined lip. I love how pigmented the lip stick was and how it applied. There was no need for a liner! I used Instant Karma™ Mineral Sheer Lipstick in Rose.
Look 2: Nighttime
For my night look I just transitioned my daytime makeup by removing the lipstick and dramatizing the eyes. Using the same gel liner I added a more emphasized line with a wing. I also used Mineral Maven™ Organic Eye Shadow in the color Emerald along with some contrasting cool grays to create a smokey effect. Myia suggests when choosing the right mineral based eye shadow to keep in mind that “darker eyeshadows tend to be more pigmented than natural/neutral shaded colors,” so don’t go too heavy! Since I went more dramatic on my eyes, I wanted to switch to a more neutral lip that just added a hint of color and sheen.
I think overall that these two looks are very versatile, and prove that mineral makeup can produce just as good of results as any other. I will definitely be using them more!
