Bored at the office? Think Pink!

With great intelligence comes great responsibility…in keeping up to date with trends of course! When you go to work without makeup, doesn’t it make you feel worn out and as if work was never ending? Of course! Like most other hard working American women, it’s a hassle to apply makeup before work however, Mahya Cosmetics has done it again by providing you simple steps to easy makeup application for the work days. Join us below on creating this fun and easy trend…



Step 1: Apply Mahya Eye Primer to the entire lid area, all the way up to the brows. You may do this with an Oval Concealer Brush or by simply using the index finger.

Step 2: With the Chisel Fluff end of the C159 Brush, apply Romance mineral eye shadow to the eye lid and stop at the crease.

Step 3: Using the same brush and brush end, apply Mahya mineral eye shadow to the crease of eyes and blend upward. Do not pass the brow bone so there is space for highlight.

Step 4: Using the same brush and brush end (cleansed), apply Nude mineral eye shadow to the brow bone for highlight.

Step 5: Now with the alternate end of the same brush which should be the Angle Liner end, apply Latte mineral eye shadow (wet) to the top and bottom lash lines thick or thin. We have applied it thick so we could bring that same color and take it to the upper outer crease and blended inward to the Romance mineral eye shadow.

Step 6: Apply Mahya Mascara in black and you’re done!


The final look should be similar to the picture of our model posted below. Enjoy and show off your worth at work today!

Arabic Inspired Look

To recreate this highly talked about look, follow the steps listed below. Remember, it’s safer than ever to have fun with your makeup using Mahya Cosmetics!

Step 1: Apply Mahya Eye Primer to entire area of eyes with the Oval Concealer Brush.

Step 2: Using the Pointed Crease & Wet/Dry Brush’s dry fluff crease side, apply Violet mineral eye shadow to the outer corners of the eye lids thickly just slightly passing the crease line.

Step 3: Then using the same brush, apply Barbie mineral eye shadow to the center of the eyelid. Again, just slightly extending the color pass the crease line. Be sure to not take color all the way to inner corner of eyes.

Step 4: Using the same brush (after cleansed), apply Silky Pink mineral eye shadow to the brow bone of your eye for a highlight. Also apply to inner corner of eyes for the extra highlight.

Step 5: With the opposite side of the same brush, which is the pointed side, apply Gothic mineral eye shadow to upper lash line very thin. Bring this out into a cat eye and inward again way above the crease line. It should appear as if a sideways triangle. Gently blend Gothic mineral eye shadow from the point of this triangle inwards to the Violet mineral eye shadow.

Step 6: Using the same brush and Gothic eye shadow, apply this to the bottom lash line thick and extending this out away from the cat eye point you made earlier. This should create a space between the upper lines from the bottom ones.

Step 7: With the same brush (cleansed), apply Silky Pink mineral eye shadow below the Gothic mineral eye shadow that was applied to the bottom lashline thick. Also apply this to the space on the outer corner of eyes between the cat eye line and the bottom black under line.

The final look should look similar to the picture posted. I hope you enjoyed creating this look and we would love to see the other Arabic inspired looks that maybe you have come up with!

Megan Fox (Transformers 2) Inspired Look

Summer isn’t over yet so get your leather boots on and crank up your bike! After completing the steps below, you’ll be on your way like Megan Fox in Transformers 2. Beat the summer’s heat with your own! We’ll show you how our makeup artist recreates this dazzling look with Mahya Mineral Makeup…

Step 1: Apply Medium Beige with Synthetic Flat Kabuki brush. Always in circular motion for great results.

Step 2: Apply Medium Tan with same brush on areas where sun light would naturally shine such as outer cheeks inwards, temples, and a bit on the nose. Also apply in circular motion.

Step 3: Apply Coraly Blush to apples of cheeks with same brush and blend into the bronzer you just applied in Step 2.

Step 4: Apply Mahya Eye Primer to the entire eye area with Oval Concealer Brush. Be sure to apply evenly or else shadow will clump in certain areas that weren’t blended well.

Step 5: Apply Fairy Tale to upper eye lid with C209 Brush.

Step 6: Apply Sunset with the same brush to the crease of the eye upward but not pass brow bone so that you leave enough room for highlight.

Step 7: Apply Light to the brown bone area for highlight using same brush.

Step 8: Apply Latte to the brows with BK20 Angle Brow Brush wet. Be sure to place more than normal in the front of brows and thin towards the end. You may do this by simply misting the brush with water and running it through the color that is on cap of Latte’s container. Be sure to check density of powder before applying and to be sure it is not too wet or too dry.

Step 9: Apply the same Latte color with the same brush thick to the upper lash line and thin at the bottom eye lash line. This may be applied wet or dry.

Step 10: Apply Mahya Mascara heavily to both bottom and top lashes.


Step 11: Apply Mineral Veil #2 with Synthetic Flat Kabuki brush all over face for finishing touches.

Step 12: Apply Hibiscus Lipstick starting from outer lip line inwards to create the plump lips.

Now just sit back and enjoy the looks you will get when flashing your new look around!

Jessica Alba Inspired Look

This great Latina actress made Maxim’s Hot List at #1 back in 2001 with her flawless glow shown in movie after movie. It’s so rare to see such a beautiful woman in the spotlight that doesn’t wear so much makeup or have plastic surgery (from what we know). To naturally have vibrant skin like hers, take care of your face daily with a great face scrub, by applying moisturizer, and by using mineral makeup by Mahya. To achieve this gorgeous look Jessica Alba pulls off time after time, click here!

Any glow needed is already given to you naturally by just washing and moisturizing your face daily. Any enhancements can be accomplished with Mahya Mineral Makeup as shown below. (Remember, colors used for face below are for the model and will vary depending on the individual’s skin tone.)

Step 1:
Apply “Medium” mineral foundation powder to entire face with Full Coverage Kabuki brush. Do this in a circular motion for an even base.

Step 2:
Apply “Medium Tan” mineral powder to the cheek bones, temples, and edges of nose with the C104 Angle Blush brush. This may also be done in circular motion and considered bronzer for the face.

Step 3:
Using the same Baby Buki brush, apply “Rose Pedal” mineral blush to the apples for the cheeks. Blend this in with the bronzer placed on cheek bones.

Step 4:
Apply Eye Primer to entire eye lids with Oval Concealer Brush. Spread evenly so when eye shadow is applied, there will not be clumps or uneven spots.

Step 5:
Apply “Oriental” mineral eye shadow with C209 brush on entire eye lid from corner to corner. Do not pass the crease of the eye.

Step 6:
Using the same brush, apply “Veronica” from the crease of the eye upwards however; do not pass the brow bone.

Step 7:
Again, using the same brush, apply “Nude” mineral eye shadow from just below brow to end of brow bone for highlight. Blend this in well with the “Veronica” mineral eye shadow already on crease.

Step 8:
Using the same brush, apply “Latte” mineral eye shadow to the outer crease of the eye just a little bit. Blend in well with the “Veronica” mineral eye shadow already on crease. This will just add more depth to the eyes.

Step 9:
Dampening the C160-1/8 Brush, dip into “Dirty Blonde” mineral eye shadow and apply to brows at spots where hair may be missing and needs to be filled in. Apply thicker at the front of brow and thin towards the outer brow.

Step 10:
Using same Full Coverage Kabuki brush, apply Mineral Veil #2 over entire face, excluding the eyes. This will provide resistance from sweat or oils showing through your makeup for the remainder of the day.

Step 11:
Apply “Blush” lip gloss. This color is a combination of pink and brown so it gives a great natural shine to your lips and will help them to appear full such as Jessica’s.

Step 12:
With Mahya Mascara, apply to the top and bottom lashes. Because Alba’s lashes are full and long, you may need to add a couple of layers to have to bat the eyes they way she does.

When using Mahya Mineral Makeup, not only will you accomplish the Kim Kardashian amazing look, you will also be caring for your skin with all natural mineral products. Just follow the simple steps below and on your way you’ll be to the red carpet too! (Foundation color will very depending on the individual’s skin tone. The foundation color used below is what we applied to our model.)


Step 1: Prime Me!
Prime the eyes with Mahya Eye Primer. This was done just by using C224 Oval Camouflage Brush. Apply evenly over entire eye area.




Step 2: Soft Like Satin!
Using the same brush, apply “Satin” mineral eye shadow to eye lid. Do not pass crease area and take it from inner corner to outer corner. Pact on as heavy as you wish. For a bolder appearance, we simply applied 2 layers.




Step 3: Highlight!
Using the same brush and eye shadow, also apply to brown bone lightly. Do not go as bold as the lid. Just lightly for a highlight.




Step 4: Smokey!
Using the same brush, apply “Smoky” mineral eye shadow to crease of eye and blend upward. The crease area should be the darkest point and it should go lighter the higher it is applied. Do not pass brow bone so there is enough room for highlight.




Step 5: Gothic Time!
Using C215 Angle Brow Brush mist with water. Then dap into “Gothic” mineral eye shadow. Apply from inner corner of upper lashline outward. This will go from thin to thick and the outer corner of eye should have tip pointing upward. You do not want to have the tip so high that it appears as a cat eye.




Step 6: Line Up!
Using the same brush and eye shadow, apply to as close to bottom lashline as possible in the same manor. The bottom line and top line should connect at the outer corner of eye.




Step 7: Awe, Don't Fall!
I applied the eye makeup before face so that if by any chance there is fall out, it is a lot easier to remove than having to do so if face makeup had already been applied.




Step 8: Kiss The Sun!
Using “Sun Kiss” mineral foundation powder apply lightly, with synthetic flat Kabuki Brush. You may start off lightly in a circular motion and apply all over face. For more coverage, simply apply more layers.




Step 9: Love To Tan!
Using C104 Angle Brush, apply “Medium Tan” mineral bronzer to the places where light hits most such as the temples of the forehead, a bit on the nose, and definitely at cheek bone area. This should be applied in heavier towards upper/outer area and lighter as you go towards the inner face. Only apply lightly so it appears natural.




Step 10: Young Apples!
Using Small Blush Brush, apply “Young” mineral blush to apples of cheeks. Do not under estimate the power of minerals. With just very little, it will go a long way so apply with a light hand.




Step 11: More Kabuki!


Using the Kabuki Brush, apply #3 Mineral Veil to entire face excluding the eye area. This sets the face and prevents future oil showing through for the day.




Step 12: No Brows to Dirty Brows!?!
Then using the C215 Angle Brow Brush, dampen once again and apply “Dirty Blonde” mineral eye shadow to the brows. This will be thick in the inner eye brow area and go upwards thin. The ends should extend as far out as the eye shadow but no further. We have applied this in the area where model lacks hair or in the blank spots of her brows and very little to the places where she does have hair so it all blends in well together.


Step 13: Barely There Lips to Full Lips!


Lastly using the C170-6 Lip Brush, we applied “Bronze Cloud” lipstick and “Barely” lip gloss to her lips for the Kim Kardashian full lips.
