Trendy, Glowing, & Casual Makeup in One Look

The celebration of New Years is over, so what now for Mahya's Mineral Makeup World?

The casual yet trendy diva look! It's fast, easy, and all natural. This 'How To Do Look' will incorporate moisturizing techniques that will give your skin a re-energized glow during this drying season. Get your colors ready and begin to play ladies...

First prep your skin with Mahya's Mineral Mist. Spray generously, allowing a few seconds of dry time before continuing. Next apply Mahya's mineral foundation in your shade. Notice your foundation color is in between two shades? Try using one shade lighter and using bronzer
to build up to your level.

Then lightly tap Mahya's Eye Primer to your lids. With your finger, apply a shiny natural eye shadow to your middle lid. For light skin tones, I suggest China Rain. For darker skin tones, I suggest Model. Using your finger really gives the shade a full coverage yet metallic appearance.

Now you want to bring light to the eyes by adding a highlight shade to both the inner corner tear ducts and at brow bone. Try Fairy Tale for extra sparkle or Nude for a more calming and matte finish. You can use finger or small detailing brush.

Next, you want to bring depth and dimension back to the eyes by emphasizing your crease. With a blending brush, lightly apply a matte neutral brown to entire crease. The transition between shades should be seamless and as a gradient.Apply Mahya's Black Mascara to finish the eyes.

For cheeks, using a glowing and natural color is best. Try Mauve Glow, Cheeky, or Happy. To highlight your cheekbones, simply use the same highlight on your eyes and apply with blush brush.

Apply Mahya's nourishing and vitamin filled lipstick of your choice and top with the corresponding gloss. I suggest Tulip LipStick with Candy Girl or China Rain LipGloss.

To finish the look, set your makeup with Mineral Veil and spray a finishing coat of Mineral Mist. This allows the foundation to settle properly without leaving a matte finish.

Hope you gals enjoyed and we look forward to many more 'How To Tutorials'. Please Facebook us with more requests or questions. We love your feedback! Enjoy this month's mineral makeup look. Stay glamorous!

New Year's Eve - Inspired Eye Tutorial

Celebrate ladies for all the wonderful days and nights 2011 has given you! It's that time of the year, when we must say good bye and look forward to new beginnings. Planing something festive or even dinner with your hubby? Either way, make this day memorable with the perfect makeup to match. Bring out the Mahya's new Glitter Stack and the bold colors!

For this inspired eye look, we will incorporate more orange and burgundy tones. This will enhance any eye color, even brown, because of the sparkly specs we will add. Follow the steps below and be ready for lots of pictures that night!

Step One:

Start with a bare base. Prep your skin with Mahya's moisturizer, especially under the eye.

Step Two:

Apply Mahya's Eye Primer to the whole eye area, including under the eye by your lash line using a flat synthetic brush.

Step Three:

Fill in your eye brows where there is no hair and avoid applying over the existing hairs so that you have more of a natural finish. The color I am using is Latte Mineral Eyeshadow. It is a matte shade and closest to my natural hair color so fits best. Apply using the angle brow brush.

Step Four:

Apply Russet Eye Shadow to the crease of your eye using the BK blending brush. Apply a small amount of this color to the lower lash line as well. When applying mineral eye shadows, be sure to tap any excess shadow back into the container to prevent fall out.

Step Five:

Apply a highlight to just below your brow bone and to the inner tear duct. I choose to use Nude Mineral Eye Shadow with a Flat Sable Brush.

Step Six:

Apply Off The Hook Eye Shadow to the lids (area below crease above top lash line) using the same flat sable brush. Also apply to the lower lashline just towards the front using the same brush's tip.

Step Seven:

Using the same BK brush, re-apply Russet Eye Shadow to just the outer corners of the eye lids and blend softly into the crease. This will create an extra hint of depth.

Step Eight:

Apply Mahya's Orange Glitter to the middle of your eye lids with the flat sable brush. To do this, you will first dap into the color, then spray with Mahya's Mineral Mist (for a light adhesive), then firmly tap onto the center lids. Repeat this process for the bottom lash line at the center.

Step Nine:

Apply Innocent Mineral Eyeshadow with the BK21 brush to the water line (inner rim of your bottom lash line). This can be applied wet/dry however, I prefer to apply dry for a long lasting effect.

Step Ten:

Apply Mahya's Black Mascara to both the top and bottom lash line.

Awesome, now you're glamourous and ready to rock any event in style!
