Summer Favorite Multi-Purpose Powders

Tired of carrying so many makeup items when travelling? Want to go to the beach this summer with that perfect natural glow? Need to apply makeup fast? Worry, no more with Mahya Summer Favorite Multi-Purpose Powders!

Out of the many offered, this summer’s favorites are Warm Glow, Rose Petal, Mauve, and Shell! If you have a few of your own favorites, please let us know so we continue to have our customer’s best interest in mind for future colors.

These “all-in-one” powders may be applied by following the simple steps below.

Step 1: Pick your color!

Depending on what colors you tend to go with most, is how you would choose the right color for you. For example: If you are a very earthy tone type of gal, you may like Warm Glow or Shell the most because they carry more of a matte coral tone.

Step 2: Kabuki Time!

After tapping enough powder onto cap, lightly apply the color to your cheeks with kabuki brush in circular motion.

Step 3: Show the fluff some love!

Apply the same color on cap to your eye lids using Mahya Fluff Brush for eyes either starting from crease on up or from lashline upwards.

Step 4: Lovely lips with choice of two steps!

The first being to smear a bit of gloss onto your backhand, dip index finger into color on cap, and mixing the color on index finger with gloss on your backhand to get the shade you want. Second way is to apply gloss directly your lips, after dipping index finger into color on cap, lightly dap onto the lips.

Step 5: Polish the look!

If you need nail color as well (which guys look at that too ladies), you may also apply the same color with clear nail polish. To do this, simply tap a small amount of loose powder from your jar of multi-purpose powder into a small container. Then dip the nail brush into the powder and brush over the nail. Brush repeatedly until all of the powder is nicely blended into the polish. This will dry very quickly, and a second coat can be applied if desired. Be sure to have some gentle nail polish remover available to clean off the brush before dipping back into the bottle. In this way, your nail polish will remain clear for the next color.

There are many more great colors where these came from so take a look at our products, order, and share with us what colors were your favorite picks this summer!

2009 Back to School Makeup Trend

2009 Back to School Makeup Trend

Starting off school with punk neon plaid skirts? Of course it will be a great year! With the variety in colors for wardrobe this year, it would be best to invest in makeup colors that would go great with most the items you have. I have listed below steps in accomplishing a look wearable throughout fall yet able to be spiced up or simmered down according to how you’re dressed and also, so it does not become boring.

Step 1: Prep your eyes with “Eye Primer”. This will be placed all over the lid with Oval Concealer Brush.

Step 2: Using “Moulin Rouge” mineral shadow, blend it from lash line upward just above the crease of your eye but not all the way to the brow bone. This can be done by using the Chisel Fluff Brush side of the Angle Liner & Chisel Fluff Brush (2 in 1 brush).

Step 3: Using “Gothic” mineral shadow as a liquid liner, place it at the outer corner of your eye and slightly bring it inward midway. This may be done with the same brush used in the previous step however, use Angle Liner end instead.

Step 4: Also using “Gothic” mineral shadow as liquid liner, place it just below bottom eyelash line midway (again, not all the way in). Again, this may be done by using the same brush end in the previous step.

Step 5: Then add “Swan Lake” mineral shadow as a liquid to the waterline and inner corner of your eyes. Another tip to set of this look would be adding “Gem” mineral shadow on top of “Swan Lake” and bringing it down just below the “Gothic” liquid line at bottom of eyes. Because there is a drastic color change, you may want to use an alternate brush to apply this such as the Angle Fluff Brush.

This is a great way to match your rockin’ outfit this school year to your makeup. Remember, you can dress it up a bit by adding more “Gothic” mineral shadow to your eyes or for a smokey look or dress it down by adding less “Gothic” or “Moulin Rouge” mineral shadow.

Please know that the colors used are not the only ones capable of making this great look. The following mineral shadows are also suggested depending on your mood or outfit for the day: Barbie (pink), Jade (green), or Violet (purple). The finished look should resemble the picture as shown below.

The main point is to have fun with it and what better way than by using all the bright and bold mineral colors that Mahya Cosmetics has to offer at a great price!

Angelina Jolie Inspired Look with Mahya Mineral Makeup

With soft contour and fierce eyes, who could resist the unforgettable cat eye look of Angelina Jolie? It is even easier than ever to accomplish the look you only see in magazines on celebrities now with Mahya Mineral Makeup! If feeling in a strong and sexy mood today, follow the steps listed below to appear on the outside how you feel in the inside.


Step 1:
Apply “Eye Primer” gently all over the lid with the “Oval Concealer” brush. Press on little by little instead of swaying it on.

Step 2:
With the “Oval Shadow” brush, lightly pat on “Golden Light” mineral shadow all over the lid and up towards the brow bone area.

Step 3:
Then lightly apply “Dirty Blonde” mineral shadow to the crease area with a “Deluxe Round Crease” brush. This adds depth to your eyes.

Step 4:
With the “Angle Eye Liner” brush, apply “Gothic” mineral eye shadow to your upper lash line starting at the inner corner and outward. As you bring the brush outward, pick it up at an angle to give it that cat eye appearance. Do not pass your normal eye length by much.

Step 5:
Using the same eye shadow and brush as step 4, apply a thin line to your bottom lash line starting from the middle and bring it outward.

Step 6:
Then apply mascara to your upper and bottom lashes to complete the look with “Mahya Mascara”.



To spice this look up a bit, add “Strike” mineral eye shadow (dry) to the lash line thick with the “Angle Fluff” brush before applying “Gothic” as eye liner.

Chemicals to Avoid

Before purchasing ,You need to consider mineral makeup products do NOT contain those chemicals. Because...

Parabens - are chemical preservative that have been identified as estrogenic and disruptive of norm hormone function. (Estrogenic chemicals mimic the function of the naturally occurring hormone estrogen, and exposure to external estrogens has been show to increase the rest of BREAST CANCER.

Phthalates - are known to cause a broad range of birth defects and lifelong reproductive impairments in laboratory animals that are exposed to these chemicals during pregnancy and after birth. Phthalates are also known to be hormone-mimicking chemicals, many of which disrupt normal hormonal processes, raising concerns about their implications for increased BREAST CANCER risk. Studies have shown that phthalates can damage the liver, the kidneys, the lungs and the reproductive system, especially the developing tests. Phthalates are a family of industrial chemicals that are used as plastic softeners or solvents in many different consumer products. They can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled as fumes, ingested when they contaminate food or when children bit or suck on toys, and are inadvertently but directly administered to patients from some PVC (polyvinyl chloride or vinyl) medical devices.

Bismuth - is the by-product of lead and copper refining, as well as other metals to a smaller degree. Bismuth occurs very rarely in nature. It is on the periodic table of elements under the symbol Bi at atomic number 83. It is very heavy and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. It has a whitish/iridescent hue and has a very high shine property to it. Of all the heavy metals it is the only non-toxic. Bismuth is a carrier for fuel in nuclear reactors. Bismuth components are used in everything from detection work, to making acrylic fibers, to safety devices in fire detection and extinguishing items, soldering, magnets and medicine as well as cosmetics. Because it is a by-product of lead refining, bismuth oxychloride should be lead free when companies begin using it in their cosmetics.

Talc - Talc is toxic. Talc particles cause tumors in human ovaries and lungs. Numerous studies have shown a strong link between frequent use of talc in the female genital area and ovarian cancer. Talc particles are able to move through the reproductive system and become imbedded in the lining of the ovary. Researchers have found talc particles in ovarian tumors and have found that women with ovarian cancer have used talcum powder in their genital area more frequently than healthy women.

Talc poses a health risk when exposed to the lungs. Talc miners have shown higher rates of lung cancer and other respiratory illnesses from exposure to industrial grade talc, which contains dangerous silica and asbestos. The common household hazard posed by talc is inhalation of baby powder by infants. Since the early 1980s, records show that several thousand infants each year have died or become seriously ill following accidental inhalation of baby powder.
