Choosing the right Mineral Makeup brush

2009-04-04T06:07:00.000-07:00

The BLOG entry for this month will cover some Mineral Makeup Basic questions for those not familiar with Mineral Makeup.

First you should use the right tool for the right job.
The KABUKI brush or the CMH Essentials powder brush is best used to apply your Foundations and Veils because of the great even coverage they provide. You do not need to have separate brushes for the application of these two products. You can find a good selection of these brushes in our store.

When you are applying your eye makeup, you should use a brush suited only for the application of eye makeup, because these brushes are fine, precise applicators for use when working around the eyes. CMH Essentials also carries the proper eye application brushes in our store.

This month CMH has added a new KABUKI brush as well as (refill baggies) in a 10g size so that you can refill your sifters at a fairly substantial savings.

Until next month,

Christina

Mineral Makeup EYES

2009-01-06T15:52:00.000-08:00

Mineral eyeshadows are very versatile and can create many effects. With experimentation you can create sexy sultry looks, light natural looks, or the fascinating and dramatic. Here are a few quick tips to get you started. Water can be mixed with any mineral eyeshadow to give a more dramatic effect. This technique will really bring out the shimmer. Just dampen your applicator with a little water and mix it right in the lid. Dark eyeshadows mixed with a little water will also make a great eyeliner.

You should apply a light shade of eyeshadow just underneath your eyebrow; a medium shade to your eyelid and eyelid crease, and a dark shade to the center of your eyelids to the corners.
Colors are your own personal choice. Yellows and soft pinks will brighten your eyes. Neutral tones will create a more natural look and are best for daytime. Shimmers are great for the night life, but they tend to draw attention to fine lines and wrinkles. Mineral eyeliners are best applied wet. You can create bold lines or subtle soft lines. To make your eyes appear larger try only lining the upper lid.

Next month we will give you tips on the Face. For more applications or answers to your questions, visit us at http://www.cmhessentials.com and have a look around, and don't forget to look for the discount coupon section in the store for your code to save some extra money on your mineral makeup purchase.

Is Your Mineral Makeup Really All-Natural?

2008-08-24T11:09:00.000-07:00

Many companies and stores today are advertising all-natural mineral makeup as a pure, healthy alternative to the lab produced cosmetics you find today. Alot of these so-called "natural" products still contain added ingredients such as fillers, binders and preservatives to allow it to be mass produced and marketed. All-Natural mineral makeup should be made wholey from minerals derived straight from the earth, devoid of ANY additives in order to reap the full benefit of Pure Mineral Makeup. Benefits such as the natural moisturizing properties and skin protecting potential (SPF15) lead to healthier, younger, more vibrant skin. Other benefits include natural healing properties, non irratating and non pore clogging, leaving a soothing less caked on feeling. So, doesn't it seem worth while to make sure your mineral makeup is infact all natural. You decide!

Sunblock and Mineral Makeup

2008-06-12T14:30:00.000-07:00

Should I use Sunblock? This is a very good question this month. CMH Essentials does not add sunblock to their Mineral Makeup for two reasons. Number one, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide provide for a natural Sun Protection Factor of 15. (SPF) is the length of time it takes for someone to burn (x) the factor number, in this case roughly 15 times as long. Secondly, to ADD a sunblocker would take from the naturalness of the product, and CMH Essentials adds nothing to their Mineral Makeup.

During the Month of June, CMH Essentials, The Mineral Makeup Store has added quite a few products for the Summer. In Blushes we have added Sunkiss, Adobe, Chastity, Cherish and a small and large Blush Sampler. In the Eyeshadows we have added Escape, Paradise, Blossom, Green Pearl, Illusion and Shadow. There are now more than 200 Mineral Makeup products available at http://www.cmhessentials.com/store2 . So if you are looking for Sunblock and Affordable Mineral Makeup, come visit us anytime.

The Versatility of Mineral Makeup

2008-05-18T14:55:00.000-07:00

Why is Mineral Makeup the most versatile makeup on the market today. That would be due to the use of only natural minerals in the products. Most mineral products have the industry standards of titanium dioxide, zinc oxides, iron oxides, micas and clay. Products made from these basic cosmetics grade minerals are generally safe for the face, eyes and lips (multiuse). When a company adds fragrances, fillers, binders etc. to the minerals, this is what takes away from the products safety as a multiuse cosmetic.

With the use of pure mineral makeup, you will save on the makeup budget, providing you use only the pure mineral makeup product and these general guidelines.

Matte foundations can also be used as concealers. Concealers should be 1-2 times lighter than your foundation to prevent a splotchy, uneven appearance.

Satin foundations can be used as bronzers, blushes or even on the eyes.

Blushes, bronzers and eyeshadows can be interchanged for all uses. These products may also be used as all over body shimmers and lip balms.

So as you can see, pure mineral makeup is not only versatile, but makes economical sense. Make sure when you are choosing your mineral makeup, that it is pure cosmetic grade minerals and contains no additives of any type..

Comparison Shop for your Mineral Makeup

2008-04-16T17:44:00.001-07:00

Comparison Shop for your Mineral Makeup. There are alot of Mineral Makeup companies out there these days, but not all are the same. When you are shopping for your Mineral Makeup, you not only have to look at the prices, but also the quantity of product that you will receive for that price, this is very often overlooked.

You also need to be aware of how you are buying your Mineral Makeup. Alot of companies have autoshipments, autobilling and of course fullfillment programs. Make sure you are aware of what you are buying, and how you will be getting it. The fine print on anything can be a deal breaker.

We have comparison shopped and you will not find a better price on Mineral Makeup for the quantity of product that you receive. We have NO autoships, fullfillment programs or autobilling. Remember, Comparison Shop - Then come visit us.

Mineral Makeup and Men

2007-12-02T07:39:00.000-08:00

On the Blogs these days there seems to be alot of chatter about men wearing makeup. This is not a new concept, with high profile celebrities and their tv shows, the news anchors and so on. It is just becoming more main-stream and acceptable to the newer generation who are trying to be different somehow. Mineral Makeup is just a natural choice, because it covers well, but being natural, it doesn't give that caked-on look, which is ideal for men. CMH Essentials has been selling Mineral Makeup to men for years now, and repeatedly. Just some thoughts before the Mineral Makeup Store Update.

We are always available for contact from the website or the store. Keep an eye out for the new colors coming to the store this month, and the upcoming holiday sales we will be having!!

The B.O. (Bismuth Oxychloride) in Mineral Makeup

2007-01-01T08:42:00.000-08:00

The B.O. (Bismuth Oxychloride) in Mineral Makeup

Some cosmetics companies will use it in their cosmetics because it is a very cheap filler. Bismuth does have binding qualities, so the makeup will hold to your skin better, however there are other products that are just as good at sticking to your skin, and are better for your skin. Other than being a cheap filler, it is highly reflective, which is something companies want, because refraction will camouflage fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations. If you use a brand with B.O. you will see a shiny or shimmery, yet heavy look. That's the bismuth oxychloride.
B.O. is a thick, heavy mineral, which makes it difficult for many people to wear. It has to be packed into your pores (buffing application) otherwise it can slide off the wearer's face. The heaviness can and usually does result in clogged pores or irritated skin. B.O often feels silky and fine between the fingers. Mineral makeup companies that don't use it have a lighter feeling makeup that will blend into the skin better and with less effort.
After using Mineral Makeup, many women experience noticeable itching when they sweat. Generally this is from the chemical composition in B.O. So, if you find you're experiencing some problems with your current mineral makeup and it contains B.O., the fix could be as simple as switching to a brand that doesn't use B.O.

Mineral Makeup (info you should know)

2006-06-25T18:31:00.000-07:00

Mineral Makeup (info you should know)
Mineral makeup is made from all natural minerals that come from the earth. Most of them are a combination of serecite, mica, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are natural sun blocking agents and are used in almost every bulk store bought sun block or lotion you can buy. Most minerals are also water proof so the hold of mineral makeup is usually all day with little or no touch up needed.The minerals used in the makeup are very finely milled into a powder that is micro-fine and will blend well into the skin and look very natural. An outstanding range of colors in the minerals make it possible for mineral makeup manufacturers to offer a vast array of colors. A virtual rainbow has been made from blush, eye shadows, lipsticks, and foundation in hundreds of shades. It's easy to buy two or three different foundation shades and blend them for a custom color of your own because minerals blend very easily together.Because our cosmetic grade minerals are so finely milled they won't clog your pores, and if some of them do happen to get into the blood stream, don’t worry, after all they're all natural and they are completely safe for the body. Many doctors and dermatologists have proclaimed mineral makeup as the skin care makeup because it is so healthy for the skin and does not aggravate acne and it covers blemishes, acne, large pores, and scars very effectively.If you're interested in a safe and natural alternative to chemical, oil and preservative laden makeup, minerals may be something for you to look in to.You can find more information on Mineral Makeup at http://www.cmhessentials.com. Get the facts, ingredients, benefits as well as the makeup.

Mineral Makeup Applications (pt 2)

2006-06-12T16:35:00.000-07:00

MINERAL MAKEUP APPLICATIONS
PART 2
Multi-Use Colors (Shimmers and Mattes)

Eyeshadow:

Use a small brush or sponge applicator to apply shadow over your eye lids, or in the creases, for contouring effect. Apply more than one color if desired. Cover whole lid from lash line to eyebrow, then add another color to lid (lighter color), then one in the crease of the eye lid first using color as a highlight on brow bone blend color just where the meet. Mix matte and shimmer color together. Apply wet for a more dramatic effect or use as an eyeliner. There are to many different ways these shadows can be used, experiment and have fun, with your CMH Essentials Mineral makeup.

Eyeliner:

Can be applied wet or dry. Tap some powder in to the lid, dip eyeliner brush in water and mix with powder to achieve a creamy consistency then apply to eyes. You can make thin or bold line. A small angle brush works best for this. Eyeshadows may also be used as eyeliners.

Lip Color:

You can mix the minerals in with your favorite lip gloss shade to change the color or with a clear gloss to add a boost of color and shimmer. You can apply the minerals to your lips first, and then put a gloss on top of that, or you can apply a gloss or lipstick first and then rub the minerals over that. Stay in touch for Part 3 of Mineral Makeup applications from www.cmhessentials.com

Mineral Makeup Applications (pt 1)

2006-05-31T18:17:00.000-07:00

Foundations:
The best way to apply CMH Essentials foundations is with a kabuki brush, or you can use a powder brush if the hairs are not to loosely apart. You can either tap some mineral powder in your lid and swirl the brush in the powder or dip your brush in the powder and then swirl it in the lid. Gently tap off excess powder on the edge of your lid, with bristles pointed upward. Then begin at the jaw line and in circular motions apply in thin layers until you get the desired coverage you want. You don't want to begin at the center of your face, or the powders will get into your lines and creases. If you still have a few spots that need covering, just take your concealer brush, dip into powders, and apply to necessary areas. Foundations may be applied with a damp sponge.

Finishing Powders:
Finishing powders are applied as you would a foundation. You may use heavier coats to oily areas.

Blushes:
Using your blush brush simply swirl and tap in your lid and apply to cheeks. You can also use to contour different parts of the face such as jaw line, parts of brow, nose, ect. You can apply more than one coats if you desire more color intensity.

Bronzers:
Tap some powder in your lid, swirl and tap your brush, and apply lightly to forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. You can also use for contouring jaw line and parts of brow. In the winter you can also use your tan foundation as a light bronzer.

Mineral Makeup Differences

2006-05-14T15:32:00.000-07:00

How, you ask, can one Mineral Makeup differ from another? There are several reasons actually, the first being economic. Big affiliate companies spend lots of money on the advertising package (sheer/bare) etc. Some (un-named) will take their minerals and fluff them with fillers (corn starch etc) to make more product, and sell it at a similar price.

The facts are the facts. Mineral makeup in its purity is very all natural and simple, and no matter how you cut it, we all use the same minerals. So please ask yourself this question. Why does “A” cost so much more than “B” or these are the same price, but “A” doesn’t have as much product as “B”. Where will you stand!!
Here at CMH Essentials, you can be guaranteed that we use ONLY the all natural minerals with no fillers or additives. Being a family operation, we are not out to rake the consumer. We do not spend millions on the advertising package, so we do not have to bump up the prices. Come visit http://www.cmhessentials.com and check out our prices for the Quantity of product you receive – you will be very satisfied
