 It seems that everywhere you look you are bombarded with the words, ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ but do we truly know the meaning of these words? What is the difference between natural and organic makeup? In the hopes of obtaining healthier products we tend to reach for the natural or organic brands. Although these words may seem similar it is important to be aware of the differences and to make an informed decision when purchasing such products.
A product labeled “natural” simply means that it has not been chemically altered from its original state and nothing as been removed or added. Natural products are derived from natural plants or animal sources but the use of the term is not regulated or certified.

Mineral eyeshadow application is similar to that of traditional eyeshadow. However because of concentrated pigments, you can use smaller amounts of mineral makeup.
Using a small brush, apply your main eyeshadow color over your entire lid from the lash line to the eyebrow. Use long sweeping strokes.
Add another lighter color to the lid only. Then follow up with a third color to accent the crease of the lid.
Blend the colors gently with your brush for a natural look.
Top eyeshadow with a dusting of mineral finishing powder to prevent creasing.
For a dramatic effect and deeper color, apply wet with a damp brush.

Eye brow shape can make or break your look. If possible, have your eye brows shaped by a professional who can determine what is best for your facial structure.
The next best thing is an eye brow stencil kit. These kits include brow stencils and an angled eye brow brush.
After shaping your brows, determine which powder or pencil color to use. For a more natural look, choose eye brow powder. If you prefer an eye brow pencil, apply in light, short strokes to mimic the look of your natural brow hairs. Choose a color that is one shade darker than your current hair color for best results.
The final step in creating beautiful brows is to apply a brow gel to keep the hair tamed and the color in place through the day.
