Creating The Perfect Face Canvas For Your Mineral Makeup

These have been exciting times with my business! I have been experimenting with our new Mineral Makeup Beauty line and all I can say is WOW! I am looking forward to the many possibilities this additional line will bring.

I have tried several other Mineral Makeup brands and comparatively speaking I think our company's ROCKS! Plus it's kind of cool to buy from my own store instead of online companies or the local mall - you have to admit!

I will be posting a full review with all my feedback, helps and hints soon. I have been happy with all the products and a couple get absolute raves. I am still experimenting and creating my favorite looks.

My #1 favorite product thus far has been the Mascara. It's incredible! Tired of putting several coats of mascara on to lengthen and curl only to get that heavy feel on your lashes? (Which I can't stand by the way) You need to try our's as you will LOVE it!

Today I want to talk about the important considerations for creating the perfect face canvas to apply your Mineral Makeup to.

Mineral Makeup has many benefits and women who rave wildly about it. On the flipside, it has it's critics who say it's drying to the face, looks cakey or leaves creases that actually accentuates wrinkles and fine lines.

It is my opinion that these less-than-perfect successful results come from two areas. First, check your ingredients in your Mineral Makeup because not all of them are created equally. Second, there are some tried and true "musts" when it comes to creating the perfect Mineral Makeup look.

This is my professional opinion from years of experience in the skin care and cosmetics industry prior to my present company. It is also my consumer observation because I have to tell you frankly I have tried some other lines that have not lived up to the reputation of a finer mineral makeup.

I am proud to be associated with my company and again I must say they've outdone themselves with this great product line. But before you even get started let's talk about.....

CREATING THE PERFECT CANVAS FOR YOUR MINERAL MAKEUP

Just as an artist paints or creates on a clean canvas, so too is it true that your face becomes your canvas when it comes to applying a great Mineral Makeup look.

The overall condition of your skin is a factor in your success with application.

So back to basics:

What is your current skin care regimen?

A good skin care regimen consists of cleansing before the application of any products to your facial skin. Skin care products are a personal preference and I have mine but I am of the theory that less is more.

Personally, I use the cleaning bars our company makes and don't do a lot besides that (other than moisturize or use SPF in Florida if I am going to be outdoors).

Before even getting started with our Mineral Makeup, you will want to have your face cleansed from impurities of the skin, any oil build-up etc. That's the beginning of a great canvas.

If you are prone to acne or roascea, you will want to consider a toner to neutralize and have the cleanest start possible.

Once your facial skin is properly cleansed, the next key factor to success with your Mineral Makeup application is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize....

Now I know some will say "But Mineral Makeup is supposed to moisturize". While that is very true and it's one of the many attributes of mineral makeup, again you want to create the best facial canvas. Applying your moisturizer a few minutes before your mineral makeup, giving it time to dry in, insures that any fine lines and wrinkles you are concerned about have the additional moisture before makeup application.

If you are in a more tropical climate or are going to be outdoors, you may want to apply a moisturizer with SPF protection. Even though the natural minerals in mineral makeup to a degree act as a sunscreen you will want to be sure to use the SPF as a protection.

So you've cleansed and moisturized and you are ready to go....

Well....almost. Depending on your skin, you may find that you have what I call "trouble areas" on your face. For me, it's a scar on my cheek that I got as a child from scratching chicken pox. And a blemish on the side of my face that is the result of some adult acne that never cleared up 100%. We all have those little trouble spots but I am going to share a great pointer with you on how you can further diminish them.

Light application of a yellow base has a tendency to cover imperfections and create more even tones. Once the foundation is applied, you will not even know that the yellow undertone is there unless you over-apply it.

Use care not to use a heavy hand and by applying a yellow toned base before foundation application, you can cover up those trouble areas. By the time you layer your Mineral Makeup on you will hardly know they are there!

One of the nice things about Mineral Makeup are their versatility and in my case with our product line I have actually been using an Eye Shadow that has a yellowish base and it's been doing "double duty" as my concealer. The shade is Water Lily and it has the right yellowish tone without looking too gold or metallic. It's working like a charm!

Do an assessment of your skin care regimen and take the extra few minutes to create the perfect face canvas for your Mineral Makeup application. The results are well worth it.

It's OFFICIAL - My Company Is Now In The Mineral Makeup Business!

It's official that we are now in the Mineral Makeup business with our new Beauty Line and all I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW!

First because the opportunity to become a "product of my own product" and buy my mineral makeup from "my store" (myself) at wholesale prices versus going to the mall or online makes great sense to me! I am impressed with the line and it's rather extensive including foundation, loose powder and finishing bronzer, pressed powder, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss and quality brush sets including a large Kabuki brush for application. Great color selections too!

Second because this is the kind of product our company is famous for. Great ingredients with superb benefits to your skin and face and even gluten free! This product just adds quality and credibility to our already excellent line of candles and home fragrance items.

Third because this opens doors to many new retail and customer opportunities! It is going to be great to be a one-stop-shop for my ladies to buy not only their cleaner burning gourmet candles but now their mineral makeup too. This is going to be great...for them as well as for my business. When you combine quality products with personal service it sure beats ordering online and not knowing what you are getting.

Fourth because I see opportunities in this Beauty Line for many out there looking for a business with true potential. I mean, how would you have liked to be in at the beginning of say Mary Kay or AVON? I mean truthfully think about it! This fabulous line just rolled out today, June 1, 2009 so those who jump on board with this company for the mineral makeup are truly in NOW at the beginning! How incredible is that?
