Choosing and applying concealers and color correctors The step-by-step guide What is the difference between concealers and color correctors? Which one should you use and why? How do you choose the right color and what is the best way to apply them? In this blog post, we answer all your questions about concealers and color correctors... Concealers and color correctors can work like a magic wand when it comes to hiding imperfections and achieving a flawless look. But if you don't know which one to use, how to choose the right color, and how to apply them, both products can be practically useless. Worse, you might end up ruining your makeup instead of enhancing it. Let's explain without further delay what concealers and color correctors do and how you can easily achieve the best results. This is what you will find in this blog post: Color correctors What are color correctors?Which color corrector is suitable for you?How do you apply a color corrector?What the experts advise CONCEALERSWhat are concealers?Which concealer is suitable for you?How do you apply concealers?What the experts advise   COLOR CORRECTORS What are color correctors?Color correctors come in various rainbow shades - yellow, orange, purple, pink, and green. If you ever mistook them for eyeshadow or blusher, don't be embarrassed. Until not too long ago, color correctors were only used by professional makeup artists, but nowadays they are widely available for every woman. Color correctors can conceal and neutralize unwanted skin issues. Think of dark circles, spots, scars, sunspots, and age spots, as well as severe eczema flare-ups, such as rosacea or acne - this is what color correctors can help you camouflage. Correctors work on the principle that opposite colors cancel each other out. For example, a green concealer will hide red spots, while an orange/salmon-colored concealer neutralizes blue/gray circles. Which color corrector is suitable for you? To find out which color you need, you first have to determine the exact color of the problem, while also taking your overall skin tone into account. The next step is to use the color wheel (shown below) to find out which color will conceal the blemish. Finally, do not choose a color that is more than one or two shades lighter than your own skin tone. To simplify this even further and help you take the guesswork out, the guide below can serve as your go-to reference for various conditions. Green color correctorPerfect for: redness, acne, and rosaceaGreen is the color that minimizes and conceals red and pink tones, such as pimples, rosacea, or acne, or other skin conditions with strawberry tones. Our recommended product is: Foliage Salmon color correctorPerfect for: women with an olive complexion and dark circles under the eyes.If you struggle with circles under your eyes and have bluish/gray circles around the eyes, choose a peach-colored corrector that neutralizes the unwanted circles. Our recommended product is: Papaya Pink color correctorPerfect for: women with light or medium skin and dull dark/shadow under the eyes.Choose a pink corrector if your skin tone is lighter and you want to brighten dull circles under your eyes. Our recommended product is: Rose Orange color correctorPerfect for: women with a dark complexion and dark circles under the eyesIf you struggle with dark circles under your eyes and your complexion is darker, choose an orange or peach-colored corrector that hides the uneven undertones. Our recommended product is: Amber concealer Yellow color corrector Perfect for: purple-tinted problems and circles under the eyesThe yellow corrector neutralizes purple tones, whether it is pimples, dark bruises, veins, dark circles under the eyes, hyperpigmentation, or age spots. Purple color correctorPerfect for: pale and dull skin, yellow undertones, olive-colored bruisesIf your complexion is very pale or has many yellow undertones, choose a concealer in lavender tones. You can also use it to cover yellow spots or olive-colored bruises. How to apply a color correctorUsing the right shade plays the biggest role in solving your problem, but you also need to know how to apply your corrector in a way that truly conceals issues. Here are a few tips on how to achieve that: Apply your color corrector in thin layers If you overdo it and end up with thick layers, the corrector can show through under your foundation. The area will then appear lighter in color, and it becomes more difficult to achieve an even tone after applying the foundation. Our tip is therefore to apply the product in thin layers. Use the correct application method For applying our mineral powder concealer, we have some favorite brushes available. Around the eyes, we use a smaller brush with a tip for the smaller corners. For the larger areas, we use a larger flat brush. Due to the firm bristles, the coverage will be higher.The goal is not to achieve coverage for the entire face, but only to conceal the problem areas and nothing more. Our recommended product is:Around the eyes, the angled concealer brushLarger areas, the flat concealer brush What the experts adviseKeep in mind that color correctors can change the color of the problem, but they cannot magically make it less visible if it is raised or hollow - for that, it is better to use a regular concealer. Even more importantly, if you don't have any of the problems mentioned above, daily use of a color corrector would be unnecessary, as it adds too many layers to your makeup. Women with healthy skin are better off choosing a regular concealer for daily use and reserving the color corrector for special occasions when they really need that perfect finish. Click on the image below to watch our video with Rose and Papaya concealer: CONCEALERS What are concealers? Concealers come in shades that match your skin tone and are meant to blend with your skin and foundation. You can regularly use concealers as part of your daily makeup routine to brighten a stressed, tired-looking complexion and to highlight the high points of your face - under the eyes, the bridge of the nose, the center of the forehead, and the chin. If you use the concealer well, you can achieve a flawless, radiant look with depth and a smooth finish. Our Skin Fix concealers also have the property of reducing the appearance of unwanted skin discolorations, such as pimples, red spots, dark circles, scars, and pigmentation spots. Which concealer is suitable for you? The colors in our range can be chosen based on skin tone – Light, Medium and Tanned. The key to choosing the best concealer is finding the right shade. Choose the wrong color and the concealer will stand out and accentuate the problems instead of fading and hiding them. For blemishes, choose a shade that matches your complexion; if it is too light, it may not hide imperfections but rather make them stand out. For the under-eye areas, choose a shade that is no more than one or two shades lighter than your own skin – this achieves a radiant effect. If your skin tans easily in the summer, make sure to have a separate concealer for the sunnier seasons of the year. The texture of our Skin Fix concealers is lighter and creamier. This makes these powders have a perfect texture for under your eyes. Dry and thick concealers can crease and cake under the eye, especially if your age shows in your fine lines. Thicker textures are more suitable for younger ladies. Fortunately, our concealers are suitable for every skin and age. How to apply concealers You can apply the concealer above your cheekbones, in the middle of your forehead, in the middle of your chin, and along the bridge of your nose, and of course under the eyes. In short, focus on the areas that the concealer needs to brighten and accentuate. Clean well It may sound like a no-brainer, but both dermatologists and makeup artists agree that proper cleansing is crucial. Removing makeup residue with the right products, washing your skin daily with water (and not just moist wipes or micellar water), and occasionally exfoliating are the most important steps you need to take before applying anything. Hydrate and prepare your skin Before you reach for the concealer, apply the base of your choice, such as your moisturizing cream, primer, moisturizer, and any BB or CC cream. Apply the concealer Apply your concealer with gentle dabbing motions on the correct area. With our Skin Fix concealers, we have found that the Allround Tapered makeup brush works very well. You can also use the tip of a slightly damp makeup sponge. With the sponge, you can build up a thicker coverage and control the amount of product. Apply your foundation to the relevant area with gentle dabbing, otherwise the two will blend too much - and the concealer will lose its effect. When working on the under-eye area, start by applying concealer close to the tear duct, otherwise it can accumulate in fine lines. Don't exaggerate Start by applying a very small amount of powder. You can always add more coverage if needed. Pro tips: You can conceal a hollow scar with an angled brush dipped in a concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin tone. Fill in the center of the stain without going over the edges. To hide a raised scar, use a concealer that matches your skin tone and dab it onto the scar. For both types of scars, use a translucent powder to set the concealer. What the experts advise: The skin under your eyes is naturally drier, thinner, and more delicate than the rest of your face, and therefore requires extra care and special attention. Avoid using too much foundation or concealer powder under the eyes to prevent buildup in the fine lines, which makes them look even more pronounced. For very heavy dark circles under the eyes, it is better to use a color corrector, because a concealer can give your eyes a gray and ashen appearance. However, when using a color corrector, it is advisable to apply a foundation over it. If this is not desired, the Skin Fix concealer is sufficient.   We hope this in-depth tutorial has contributed to a better understanding of concealers and color correctors, and what you can achieve with both.

Discover our range of foundations for all skin types And see which type works best for your skin Choosing the right foundation can sometimes feel overwhelming. If you buy the wrong lipstick color, you can simply wipe it off and apply another color. But it's never that simple with your foundation, because it can determine your entire look and also how your skin feels all day. That's why it's crucial to choose the product that fits you perfectly. To help you, we have created this small guide for our mineral foundations , which gives you an overview of everything you need to know - the main differences, which skin type suits each foundation best, the desired coverage, and more.Before we proceed, you should know that you can always order one of our testers first to see how the product works on your skin before purchasing a full-size version. Let's dive into it now. Loose powder foundationsOur loose mineral powder foundation is a classic and indispensable in your makeup bag. With it, you can apply glamour on the go without feeling—or looking like—you are wearing makeup (as long as you don't overdo it, of course). Thanks to the excellent pigmentation and buildable coverage, the result is matte and flawless. Preservatives, parabens, fragrances, and all other synthetic junk are simply banned from our recipes. Thanks to the natural ingredients, our loose mineral powders are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, making them the best friend for your sensitive skin. AdvantagesIf you have oily or combination skin, loose powder foundations are the ideal choice for you. Their absorbing properties take up excess skin oil without clogging pores or causing pimples. Their light-reflecting pigments and lightweight formula ensure that your skin looks natural without becoming too powdery or heavy. DisadvantagesLoose powder foundations are not the best choice for very heavy makeup; and they may not be as effective in camouflaging large blemishes or imperfections, unlike our 2-in-1 foundations. Coverage and finishingFor light to medium coverage, you can choose from several colors that suit different skin tones and undertones. With loose powder foundations, you can easily achieve a breathable, matte finish. Shelf lifeLoose foundations generally have a shorter wear time on the skin than liquid variants. Especially with oilier skin or a sweaty day, a touch-up during the day can be nice. ApplicationUse a large makeup brush (such as our Kabuki brush, our mineral powder brush, or for the best coverage, our Perfect Coverage brush) and apply lightly to the desired areas. Mineral foundations are buildable, so you can apply the powder in layers to achieve the desired coverage. Apply evenly, focusing on the areas of the skin that produce excess oil, as loose powders are very suitable for oilier skin. Liquid foundationsThanks to their light texture, mineral liquid foundations effortlessly blend with your skin and create a seamless base. Best of all, they provide your skin with extra hydration that you don't find in powder foundations. All pigments are coated with an amino acid, ensuring long-lasting, waterproof coverage with a smooth finish. Add to that the anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties and you have a foundation that is as natural as your own skin. And as with all our products, we have removed parabens, silicones, mineral oils, and synthetic fragrances, along with other chemical nonsense, from the ingredient list. Enriched with unprocessed, natural ingredients known for their homeopathic properties and antioxidants, our liquid foundations ensure your face looks silky soft and radiant without becoming too oily. AdvantagesWhat distinguishes the liquid foundations from our other variants are their moisturizing properties, making them the perfect choice for people with dry skin (or combination skin types that are prone to dry areas or dry periods). DisadvantagesIf you have oily skin, you might be better off choosing a loose powder option, or use one of our powders for special needs, such as the Rice Primer Shine Solution or Rice Veil intense matte/ Oil control powder. Coverage and finishThe liquid foundation can be applied using your fingers, a sponge, or a brush to achieve the desired coverage level, ranging from sheer to medium and full coverage. Their natural, skin-like finish can appear dewy or satin, giving your skin a healthy glow and a radiant finish that doesn't look cakey. Shelf lifeSometimes you need makeup that goes that extra step. Whether you're preparing for an intense business trip or a wedding that lasts all night, our long-lasting liquid foundations withstand all activities without needing much touch-up. Thanks to their waterproof formula, they also last long under all weather conditions. ApplicationThe liquid foundation can be applied with your fingers, a sponge, or a brush. The formula is easy to blend and can be evenly distributed over the face. 2 in 1 Compact powder foundationThe 2-in-1 formula means that our pressed powder foundations can be used as a concealer and as a foundation that evens out your skin tone and hides imperfections. This is your magic wand for camouflaging spots, blemishes, and pigmentation marks, giving your entire face an even appearance with a small amount. And best of all, thanks to the natural, mineral ingredients, you can achieve all of the above without irritating your skin (provided you are not sensitive to any of the natural ingredients). AdvantagesOur 2-in-1 foundations are suitable for all skin types, especially skin that requires slightly higher coverage. Thanks to their compressed powder, you can easily carry the packaging with you to touch up on the go if needed. DisadvantagesPressed powder foundations can possibly emphasize lines and wrinkles. This is quite minimal with the natural composition of Mineralissima, but a liquid or loose powder variant might be a better option for you. Coverage and finishOur powder foundation can provide various levels of coverage. Our compact foundations have great coverage, often allowing you to be done with just one layer. The current formulation gives the skin a matte finish. Shelf lifeThe compact foundations have a long wear time and generally look good on the skin all day. For oilier skin, or on sweaty days, you can optionally give a small touch-up if needed. ApplicationTo apply a pressed powder foundation, you can use a kabuki brush, for example. Apply it evenly, focusing on the areas of the skin that produce excess sebum.

Unwanted Redness How Mineralissima Can Help Here Red spots on the skin can be a source of frustration and insecurity for many people. Whether it concerns rosacea, acne, eczema, allergic reactions, or other skin conditions, these unwanted red spots can undermine self-confidence and make it difficult to maintain an even complexion. Fortunately, there is a natural and effective solution: mineral makeup. In this comprehensive guide, we delve deeper into the causes of red spots on the skin and share professional tips and techniques for camouflaging them using mineral makeup. The Causes of Red Spots on the Skin Before we discuss how to camouflage red spots, it is important to understand the possible causes. Red spots can be caused by various factors, including: 1. Rosacea: A common skin condition characterized by redness and inflammation of the skin, especially on the face.2. Acne: Inflamed pimples and blackheads can lead to red spots and scars on the skin.3. Eczema: A chronic skin condition accompanied by itching, redness, and flaking of the skin.4. Allergic reactions: Some people experience red spots as a reaction to certain allergens, such as cosmetics, perfumes, or foods.5. Skin irritation: Excessive sun exposure, aggressive cosmetics, or certain medications can lead to redness and irritation of the skin. Identifying the specific cause of red spots on your skin is essential for finding an appropriate treatment and camouflage technique. Mineral Makeup: The Perfect Solution for Sensitive Skin Mineral makeup has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the many benefits it offers, especially for people with sensitive skin. Unlike traditional makeup products that often contain chemicals and synthetic ingredients, mineral makeup products are made from natural minerals such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides. These natural ingredients have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, making them ideal for camouflaging red spots without further irritating the skin. How Mineral Makeup Can Camouflage Red Spots Now that we have covered the basics, let's look at how to effectively camouflage red spots on the skin using mineral makeup. Follow these steps for a flawless complexion: 1. Prepare your makeup routine: Start with clean and hydrated skin. Apply a mild, moisturizing cream suitable for your skin type to create a smooth base.2. Choose the right products: Select mineral makeup products suitable for your skin type and coverage needs. Choose a mineral foundation that matches your skin tone, a concealer with a green undertone to neutralize red spots, and for overall redness, our green primer.3. Prepare your skin with a primer: The Soothing primer not only ensures better adhesion of your makeup, the green color also neutralizes the worst redness of your skin. Apply the powder gently with a good makeup brush, especially carefully on (quickly) irritated skin.4. Use the concealer: Then apply the Foliage concealer with a green undertone on specific red spots not sufficiently covered by the primer. Dab the concealer gently into the skin and blend softly with your fingertips or a concealer brush.5. Apply the foundation: Use a makeup brush or sponge to apply the mineral foundation evenly over your face. Focus on areas with red spots and blend the foundation well for a natural look. 6. Set with Powder: Set the makeup with a light layer of mineral powder to fix the look, reduce any excess shine or create a healthy glow . Choose a transparent or lightly tinted powder for a subtle finish.7. Optional: Blush and Highlighter: Add a touch of blush and highlighter if desired to contour and brighten your face. Choose mineral blush and highlighter products for a natural and radiant complexion. Professional Tips and Tricks for Camouflaging Red Spots In addition to following the above steps, there are some professional tips and tricks you can apply for a perfect camouflage technique: •  Use a lightweight and breathable formula: Choose mineral makeup products with a light and breathable texture that feel comfortable on the skin and do not clog pores.•  Build coverage gradually: Apply multiple thin layers of foundation and concealer to build coverage, rather than one thick layer. This ensures a natural look and prevents a cakey effect.•  Use the right tools: Invest in high-quality makeup brushes and sponges for an even and flawless application of mineral makeup products.•  Test for allergies: Always perform a test before using new makeup products, especially if you have sensitive skin or are allergic to certain ingredients.•  Remove makeup thoroughly: Cleanse your skin thoroughly at the end of the day to remove makeup residues and impurities. Use products recommended for your skin. Healthy skin depends on proper skincare.

Bridal Make-Up DIY TIPS You're getting married! Congratulations.The costs can rise very quickly at a wedding. And most brides-to-be choose a makeup artist to truly shine on one of the most beautiful days of your life.Are you a handy make-up artist and/or do you know exactly what you want and like to have control over it? Of course, you can also choose to do your own make-up. But, what should you pay attention to then? We give you make-up tips to shine optimally as a bride. The make-upMineral makeup is ideal for a bride! Not everyone is used to thick layers in daily life and you want to still look like yourself on your important day, but just with a bit more sparkle. With mineral makeup, you can create a look ranging from very natural to a more glamorous look that still appears natural. Don't hide behind thick, unnatural layers of makeup that can smudge if you can't quite hold back that tear. And in many cases, it is also not good for your skin. Choose a high-quality mineral makeup product that stays beautiful all day and soothes and cares for your skin. A makeup look naturally starts with makeup in the right and desired colors. The right colorsWith the right foundation color, your makeup look stands or falls. A wrong undertone or a foundation that is too dark may give the wrong impression, but you will also be more noticeable if you don't just feel a subtle tear, but a whole river flowing down your cheeks.On our website, there are many tools to make the right selection of colors that you can try at home. But we are also available online and in person to help you make the best choice. Make-up workshopIn addition to the foundation, there are plenty of choices in additional products and shades. If you find it difficult to make a choice here, then in the run-up to your unforgettable day, it might be a really fun idea to attend a workshop . In the make-up studio of Mineralissima, in Alphen aan den Rijn, you are warmly welcome for a Beauty Session. If you find the travel distance too far, there might be a Sales Location in your region that also offers mineral make-up workshops. The product selection You can make the makeup look as elaborate as you want, but there is a selection of products that ensure a complete, beautiful picture. Our recommendations are: A primer prepares the skin and ensures that your makeup stays beautiful in place for longer. If your skin needs extra help, we have the Soothing Primer against redness and our Rice Primer Shine Solution has an extra mattifying effect for quickly shiny skin. In most cases, our Mineral primer Flawless base is a fine choice. The concealer is made to better hide unwanted spots beforehand, such as our Papaya concealer for (blue) circles around the eyes. Or refresh the skin around the eyes with Rose Concealer.Do you need this? Be very sparing with the amount of powder you use, especially with the Foliage concealer because you don't want to see green spots through your foundation once you're caught on camera during your photo session. Insider tip: Do not use a lighter shade around the eyes than your skin. This can cause light circles around the eyes due to lighting. The right foundation color gives the makeup look an even appearance and with just a little you can take an already radiant skin to an even higher level without looking unnatural. Start from the center of the face and build it up in thin layers if you need a bit more coverage. Use a foundation color that perfectly matches your skin, then you will look your best. Insider tip: Always blend it well so you don't see any harsh lines where you stopped applying. Blush and/or Bronzer add a bit of shape to your freshly evened-out canvas. Don't underestimate the power of a small pinch of blush on your cheeks. The range blushers and bronzers from Mineralissima offers something for everyone. Insider tip: When applying a bronzer, try not to suddenly contour areas you are not used to, as this may have the wrong effect. Build it up subtly. With eyeshadow you can go as bold as you want, but try to stay true to yourself so you feel good about it. Neutral colors are always a good base, and you can optionally expand this with a bit more color and/or shimmer or you can choose a color based on your eye color.Start your eye look with an eyeshadow primer and never forget to finish the eye look with a mascara! Tip, a touch of mineral powder on the lashes helps the mascara adhere better. So make sure to include your eyes well when applying foundation. If you're worried that our water-resistant formula isn't waterproof enough, you can apply a layer of mascara primer of your choice underneath for the day or have eyelash extensions applied.Insider Tip: For oily eyelids, our Rice Primer Shine Solution works fantastically as an eye primer! If you prefer a more glamorous look, you can subtly apply a highlighter just above the cheekbones, under your eyebrow ridge, on the bridge of your nose, and a small touch above the cupid's bow of your lips. Insider tip: if you have issues such as acne on the mentioned areas, do not apply highlighter there because shine will accentuate the imperfections. With a finishing powder you complete the entire makeup look and set the products used. Our Chiffon Finish is a fantastic choice, but if you want to go for ultra matte that keeps shine under control longer, then Rice Veil Intense matte or Oil Control powder is your best friend. The lips really do ask for a bit of color today. Choose a color that suits you and avoid too much shine. To make the color last longer, apply a lip liner over the entire lip, a lipstick over that, followed by a bit of gloss in the center of the lips. Trial sessionA bridal makeup artist would do a trial session with you beforehand. It is wise to do this yourself as well. Take a before and after photo in different lighting conditions to see the difference, and this also gives you the opportunity to see if you need to make any adjustments here and there. Insider tip: Try making the look more than once so you have better control over the tension on the day itself. Pamper your skin beforehandIf you still have time, treat your face to a pampering session at a beauty salon so that all impurities are removed and the skin is well hydrated. Of course, you can also do this yourself if you have the right products at home. After all, you do deserve a bit of pampering after all the arrangements for your big day. Your rescue kitPrepare a small bag for the big day containing some essential make-up items so that you can touch up if needed. For example, indispensable items include: A finishing powder such as Rice Veil Intense matte/Oil control powder with a kabuki brush. A pack of Blotting paper (actually indispensable on this day!) and your lipstick/lip gloss. The finishing powder is used to powder over the look without having to redo everything. Blotting paper to magically remove unwanted (shine) gloss and the lipstick/lip gloss because secretly you want your hubby to clearly know that he kissed his bride. And then... enjoy your beautiful day and shine like never before!

Let's start with the basics: what exactly is mineral makeup? Mineral makeup is composed of natural minerals that have been ground into a fine powder. These minerals, such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, iron oxides, and mica, are often used in products like foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and bronzer. What sets mineral makeup apart from traditional makeup is what it does not contain: these products are often free from potentially irritating substances such as talc, synthetic dyes, fragrances, and preservatives. What should you pay attention to when choosing mineral makeup? 1. Ingredients:- Always check the ingredient list of mineral makeup products. Look for products that are free from harmful chemicals and synthetic substances.- Pay special attention to ingredients such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, mica, and iron oxides, which are often the main ingredients in mineral makeup. 2. Coverage:- Mineral makeup comes in various coverage options, ranging from light to full. Consider how much coverage you need and choose accordingly.- For a natural look, you can choose a light to medium coverage. If you need more coverage, look for products that are specifically formulated for full coverage. 3. Color selection:- Finding the right color is essential for a flawless look. Many brands offer a wide range of shades, so take the time to find the perfect match for your skin tone. 4. Skin type:- Consider your skin type when choosing mineral makeup products. If you have oily skin, look for mattifying products. Loose powder foundations are your best choice. If you prefer ease of use and higher coverage, our compact foundations are perfect for you. If you have dry skin and are looking for higher coverage, our liquid formulas are suitable for you.  User tips for mineral makeup: 1. Hydrate your skinFor a flawless application, it is important to have well-hydrated skin. Use a moisturizing cream that suits your skin type before applying makeup. 2.

For flawless skin, our Flawless Base and Olive Primer are good options. 3. Use the right toolsInvest in good quality makeup brushes for a flawless application. A kabuki brush is ideal for applying mineral foundation, while soft eyeshadow brushes are perfect for applying eyeshadow. 4. Build up layersMineral makeup is often buildable, which means you can apply multiple thin layers to achieve the desired coverage. Start with a small amount of product and add more if needed. 5. Blend wellBlend the makeup well to avoid harsh lines and create a natural look. Take your time to blend the products thoroughly, especially in transition areas such as the jawline and neck. 6. Fix your makeupUse a finishing powder to set your mineral makeup and ensure it lasts all day. This helps to create a more dewy finish. Our Chiffon Finish (available in 2 shades) and/or Flawless Finish are a nice option here.

Feel refreshed and rejuvenated with a little help from make-up! We all want to feel beautiful, and with just a few clever make-up tricks, you can turn back the clock a little. The secret is in choosing the right products, techniques, and colours that highlight your natural beauty while softening the signs of aging. Here are four easy make-up tips to help you look younger and glow with confidence! 1. Start with a Fresh Base: Hydrate & SmoothHealthy, hydrated skin is the foundation of a youthful appearance. The more moisturized your skin, the fewer fine lines and wrinkles you’ll see. Here’s how to prep: - Moisturize well: Pick a nourishing moisturizer that suits your skin. Hydrated skin looks fresh, while dry spots can make you look tired. - Use a primer: A good primer creates a smooth surface for your foundation and helps it last longer. Pro Tip: Try our Mineral Primer Flawless Base for a flawless foundation application. 2. Foundation: Find Your Perfect Shade & FormulaThe right foundation can brighten your complexion and make your skin look younger. Here’s how to choose the best one: - Colour is key: Pick a foundation that blends seamlessly with your skin tone. It should look natural—not too heavy or cakey. - Formula matters: Powder foundations can sometimes make older skin look dry. Opt for a lightweight, liquid foundation like Skin Perfection Hydrating Foundation for a radiant, dewy finish. It won’t weigh your skin down and gives a soft satin glow. - Pressed powder: For more coverage, try Mineralissima’s compact foundation—perfect for covering blemishes or pigmentation spots quickly.Pro Tip: Apply foundation in thin layers until you get the coverage you want. This helps avoid a heavy or cakey look. 3. Add a Healthy Flush with BlushA bit of blush can bring back that natural, youthful glow. As we age, our skin often loses its vibrancy, but the right blush can restore it! Where to apply: Gently apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend toward the temples for a subtle lifting effect.Pro Tip: Avoid heavy contouring or dark blush. Go for light, upward strokes for a fresh, youthful look. 4. Brighten Your Eyes: Light Colours & HighlightsOur eyes can reveal a lot about our age—tired eyes or dark circles can make us look older than we are. But with a few make-up tricks, you can make your eyes look refreshed and bright: - Light eye shadows: Skip the heavy, dark shades and choose soft, light colours like peach (eyeshadow Tender), champagne (eyeshadow Obsession), or beige (eyeshadow Cashew). These shades will open up your eyes. - Highlight the inner corners: Apply a little highlighter (like highlighterVelvet) in the inner corners of your eyes to make them appear bigger and brighter. - Go for a soft eyeliner: Choose a subtle brown eyeliner instead of black to avoid making your eyes look smaller. A gentle line above the lashes will open up your gaze.. Pro Tip: Don’t forget your lashes! A good mascara, like our All in One Miracle Lash, will give your lashes volume and length, making your eyes appear bigger and younger. Bonus Tip: Show Off Your Lips!While we’ve covered the essentials, one more area can really make a difference: your lips. - Pick a fresh colour: A soft pink or peach, like Sunny lipstick or Rosewater lip gloss, will keep your lips looking full and youthful. - Avoid matte formulas: Matte lipsticks can make your lips look dry. Instead, go for moisturizing or shiny formulas that give your lips a fuller, more youthful look.   Make Time Stand Still with Make-UpWith these simple tips, you can highlight your natural beauty and give your look a subtle refresh. It’s all about choosing the right products and applying them in ways that make your skin glow. Remember: great make-up starts with great skin care. Want to master your make-up game?

Personalization and Flexibility: One of the biggest advantages of magnetic eyeshadow palettes is the ability to fully customize them. Whether you prefer neutral shades for daytime or bold colors for a night out, you can assemble your palette based on your preferences. 2.
