Close-up: Loose Powder Mineral Liner

Sweet Minerals Loose Mineral Liner: Triple Espresso used for brows and Licorice for eyes
Note:
In the picture above, I used our loose mineral eyeliner in Licorice to get a more dramatic eye. But kept my brows defined yet natural looking using the same eyeliner Triple Espresso. 
This double duty dream is on my top 5 must have beauty goods list. 

One day after lining my eyes with an ultra-thin wing that I never knew a powder could create, I tried Triple Espresso as a mineral brow powder and WOW.

Now my sparse brows get life from pairing
 this eyeliner with the Precision Brush. The natural finish amazing.

This is my FAVORITE mineral beauty product. And because this little beauty does double duty, I can keep my mineral makeup bag light with one little jar that handles two big jobs. 

Your eyes & brows will love:
  • two products in one
  • rich definition & vibrant color
  • formula for sensitive eyes
  • waterproof finish won't smudge
Key Ingredients:
​Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Kaolin, Iron Oxides
Mineral Makeup Pro Tip:
Apply with our Precision Liner Brush using short, feather-light strokes.
Lighten up your beauty bag with this long-lasting mineral liner.

NoFilter & Sweat Friendly Mineral Makeup

Sweatin' out my hair. But not my mineral makeup.

waterproof. sweatproof.
wears all day long with no harsh ingredients.

So... sweat

It's the story of my life. 
Put on makeup and blot off sweat. Every summer when it's hot, I can't get through makeup application without turning on the AC or sitting in front of a fan.
That's why I love Sweet Minerals by NoFilter Global. And yesssss I'm affiliated because I adore these skin loving goodies.
Back to the sweat. After I applied my makeup, I would get dewy and worried about my hard work melting off. 
But with NoFilter, I can sweat or go for a swim and my non-toxic, mineral makeup still clings to my skin like a magnet.
Sweat be gone. And makeup, do stay!!
​Oh how I love her. 

How to Get Fuller, Natural Looking Brows

Fuller, Natural Look Brows

Just a Little Note

This post is not about my foundations, but I can't show before and after shots without pointing out why I adore Sweet Minerals. So, allow me a brief sidebar.
  • Talc-free - Talc is a mineral mined in close proximity to asbestos. If a mineral makeup has Talc, it's a no go for me. I can't.
  • like my Second skin - Just an even toned, polished to pretty me in lightweight foundation.

Truffle Brow Powder vs. Triple Espresso Mineral Liner

my Dynamic Duo for Brows that Wow

I LOVE the Triple Espresso Mineral Liner for my brows. I made a happy mistake one day and tried it on my brows instead of the Milky Chocolate Brow Powder. Now, I'm in love. 
I apply the Triple Espresso Mineral Liner with our Precision Liner Brush. It is just a tad softer in shade than our Truffle Brow Minerals. So, I get a softer, more natural looking brow that better suits my skin tone.
If your skin color is deeper than mine, consider Truffle Brow Minerals instead. Lighter? Try the Milky Chocolate Brow Minerals.

Here's how to do it...

1.) Find your PEAK. It's the highest point of your brow. If you don't have one, you can estimate it about 3/4 toward the tail end of your brow.
2.) Brush your brows up and across. After the peak, taper them to a point. Our brow kits include a spoolie to help. 
3.) Dip Precision Liner Brush into Triple Espresso Mineral. Dab off excess in cap. Use soft, feathery strokes to apply. Note: A little goes a long way.
Application Technique:
​Use soft, feather light strokes in parallel lines to the peak, then taper to a point. 
4.) Brush with spoolie as desired to soften lines for a more natural appearance. 
Tip:
Use wet or dry. A wet brush delivers sharper, more dramatic lines and color. A dry brush delivers a softer, more natural brow.

Mineral Makeover Project Mother-in-Law

my Flawless Mother-in-Law

Pretty Momma-in-Law

Meet Marilyn.
Goal: Lightweight Coverage
After my mother-in-law prepared a feast for the family, I treated her to a mini-facial (complete with face massage) and mineral makeup with my signature brows.
I adore mineral beauty because it allows each person’s natural beauty to shine. It doesn’t try to overpower or create an illusion. 
Sweet Minerals simply enhances the beauty that is already there. And it does its magic without toxins or harsh ingredients.

She woke up like this

Well, not really, but it looks like she did!!
Remember that mini-facial?  I used Sweet Minerals Daily Essentials skin care system to cleanse her skin. The facial massage helped to stimulate cell turnover. And the moisturizer did double duty as a primer.  
See the smooth, even coverage? That's a loose mineral foundation in Dark Deep. And that cheeky glow is a Bronze Bombshell. The happy sparkle is all her because she loves her flawless, natural beauty.

Triple Espresso Mineral Liner

my go-to Mineral Liner for Brows that Wow

I used my one-step brow trick. One tiny jar of mineral magic (and a Precision Liner Brush) took her brows from low key to high arches and no fuss drama. Her undone brows are sparse (like mine) but applying the Triple Espresso Mineral Liner with soft, feathery strokes gave her the appearance of full, natural brows.
