Isn’t it weird that we want to apply makeup . . . that looks like we’re not wearing makeup? Existential beauty crisis aside, the off-duty model, no makeup vibes are here to stay. This look directly goes against the typical “Instagram” beauty looks we see a lot of today — bold brows, full coverage foundation, winged liner, you know what I’m talking about. “No makeup” makeup is basically the bare minimum, focusing more on the steps of application than the number of products.
While not everyone has the amazing youthful glow of Amal Clooney or Jennifer Aniston, we know how to how fake it! Before embarking on this no makeup- makeup journey, indulge in some skin prep. Using a hydrating face mask before applying makeup makes sure the skin is already supple and moisturized.

Summer skin secrets? Sweat proof and water resistant products are key, as is multitasking makeup you can bring with you to easily touch up throughout the day and some summery nights.
And yet, great makeup — no matter what the season — always starts with skin care. In fact, when several makeup artists revealed their best summer makeup tips, they all stressed the importance of proper exfoliation and prepping the skin with sunscreen. So, lovelies,..... stay hydrated and take care of your skin this season - and always. Xo
]]>Start with an eye shadow base or primer (this is essential as the loose powder needs something to adhere to the skin) to the eyelid. Then sprinkle some pigment in the jar’s lid and dip a small shadow brush into the powder. It’s best to use a stiff brush and instead of sweeping the brush across the eye, pat it as this stops the pigment spilling all over your face.
You can also “foil” (which basically means using it wet) the pigment for more vibrant colour payoff. Dip a brush into the wet medium of your choice and mix it with a bit of the pigment. Then simply apply this mixture like a cream eye shadow. Make sure no moisture gets into the pigments jar, as they could get rancid.
]]>Typically when we think about living a healthier lifestyle, we think of ways to limit what we put in our bodies. But what we put on our bodies is just as important. All cosmetics that we slather on gets absorbed into our skin. If your makeup is loaded with impurities like lead, endocrine disrupting phthalates, and other gunk, that gets absorbed into your body too.
But it’s not just about your physical health. Natural makeup is better for the planet and our animal friends as well.
Here at Earthtones Minerals you can be sure that our mineral makeup is free of unwanted fillers, unwanted ingredients and contains no nasties.
Rethink and make the switch to green beauty!

TIPS AND TRICKS
1. Before applying your Earthtones mineral makeup, make sure your face is clean and dry. Next, we recommend you to apply a moisturizer. Allow any moisturizing product to dry/absorb completely into your skin before moving on to the next step.
2. You may now want to apply a face primer. Whether you wear a full face of makeup everyday or if you prefer to keep it simple with just a BB cream, a primer is really great when trying to combat shine or to create a smooth base for foundation and makeup. A primer can help the foundation or makeup to go on smoother and last longer. You can simply apply your primer with your fingertips.
3. Then, gently tap a small portion of the foundation mineral makeup powder into the overturned lid of the container or onto a makeup palette.
Be aware: A little mineral powder really goes a long way, so you don’t need much at all.
Also: If you have more than one foundation, in order to get the correct tone for your skin, simply shake all foundations into one lid. This will make both mixing and cleanup easier.
4. Swirl your foundation brush through the minerals and then tap the brush against the side of the lid to remove any excess. Again, less is more!
5. When applying mineral foundation - gently swirl the brush over your skin to transfer the minerals to your skin. Now use circular motions to really blend these mineral powders into your skin. The minerals will combine with the natural oils of your skin and will so create an amazing natural look. Just spend a little extra time making sure you are blending very well and evenly.
So, the motto is: Blend, blend, blend :)
6. If you happen to have trouble areas, including blemishes, scars, and dark under-eye circles, we recommend using our Earthtones minerals concealer. These provide the added coverage you need for that flawless finish. You can apply them to trouble areas after putting on your foundation.
7. Once you achieved the desired amount of coverage with the foundation and concealer, you can (but it is not a must) move on to applying our Earthtones minerals eye colors and Earthtones mineral blush. Here again: A little goes a long way. Create a subtle almost sheer look when applying only a soft stroke of color onto your lids or cheeks. If you want to create a more deeper shade, more intensity or more sparkle - just give your cheeks or eyes another gentle swirl of color. Think of it as layering colors. More layers create more intensity.
8. Now you may want to finish your look by applying one of the Earthtones finishing powders and/or our Earthtones bronzer. Do so by using the same steps as mentioned above. Again, a little goes a long way.
Use the finishing powder all over your face but focusing the bronzer application only on areas that the sun would naturally hit, like the apples of your cheeks, your forehead and your chin. The bronzer provides a nice sun-kissed glow, while the finishing powder adds a flawless finish.
We recommend to start out using very little mineral powder and if you like to get a more intense coverage or shimmer you can always repeat your application steps as mentioned above. This technique applies to any of our mineral powders. Foundation especially but same goes for or mineral blush and mineral eye colors.
You will see how easy it all goes. And remember start out with little powder and add as you go along.
Also, did you know that Mineral eye shadows can be applied wet or dry. Wet mineral eyeshadows become stronger in their pigments.
Use clean, filtered water to wet your brush. Never get any moisture into your makeup pot as they can go rancid. Use a separate makeup palette to mix the pigments.
After mixing with water, we suggest using a liner brush to create your perfect liquid liner look.
How about a face mist? If you choose a face mist formulated with extra hydrating ingredients (like essential oils, or glycerin), it can keep dry skin at bay when you spritz it on throughout the day. Unlike repeat applications of moisturizer, it won't mess up your makeup!
Look like you - your true natural self. You are beautiful!

Our Earthtones Minerals are made with 100% pure crushed minerals from the earth.
What makes mineral makeup different from traditional makeup isn't the ingredients it contains but what’s left out.
We do not use chemicals, fragrances or fillers (such as talc or rice).
Earthtones Minerals have NO fillers, NO talc, NO flours, NO starch powders, NO bismuth oxychloride, NO phenoxyethanol, NO parabens, NO chemicals, NO harmful preservatives or skin irritants.
Numerous skin specialists recommend mineral cosmetics because it allows your skin to breathe and it is free of additives which can trigger skin irritation.
Our silky mineral makeup powders go on lightly and because they are made with pure minerals they do not contain any nasty ingredients or fillers.
Many dermatologists recommend mineral makeup based on the fact that these left out ingredients are possible skin irritants.
Minerals are non-occlusive, allowing skin to breathe and function normally without being suffocated. Dermatologists and skincare professionals often use mineral makeup to help protect their clients’ sensitive skin.
Pure and simple - that is what is important to us!
And, our products are not tested on animals!
