Easy Tips How To Apply Mineral Eye Shadows For Beginners

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

We have all used pressed eye shadows before. They are simple and every brand has their colors. Some come in sets of three or more in a little compact but most come as single colors. You can buy pressed eye shadows from just about any drug store counter to dept stores to even kiosks in the middle walkways at your local malls.

Now for some you may of found that mineral eye shadows are not as simple to work with. There are a few easy tips to working with mineral eye shadow because they are a powder not pressed.

IF you don’t apply it correctly it will get all over your cheeks. Many have found that mineral eye shadows that are mostly glitter are the toughest to work with. I hope these few tips will help those who are new to mineral eye shadow, or have been wanting to buy it but were afraid to because they just wasn’t sure how to work with it.

For starters mineral eye shadows will come in a small jar usually with a sifter. The sifter is there so only a little bit of mineral eye shadow is available at one time. When you buy a jar there will be a sticker that covers the little holes in the sifter just remove it the first time you want to apply it. Jar comes in difference sizes, usually by grams.

Ok so you have never worked with mineral eye shadows? There are a tips and trick to applying it. For starters:

There are some makeup brushes that will work better with mineral eye shadows. Also there are also some makeup brushes that will not work well with minerals. Look for a makeup brush that is more flat than round tipped. You are looking for a makeup brush that will not pick up a lot in the brush. You do not want a lot of mineral eye shadow on your makeup brush. Too much mineral eye shadow and it will just get all over the place! Don’t worry it’s easy to apply once you have the hang of it.

Here is a really nice video to watch that can give you tips on applying mineral eye shadows.

  Wow thanks for stopping by! One thing I have found from working with mineral eye shadows is, if you try to apply it like you would pressed eye shadows? You get it all over the place!! Glitter eye shadows need a base, but most colors do not. Just depending on the brand of course.
