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.
