Have you ever wondered how to apply mineral make up proper?
This video from the US is very American, but does give some really useful hints and tips on how to get the best results from Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics.
I absolutely love it! I’ve been using it on photo shoots, catwalks and on every make-up I have done since it was released by Youngblood.
The sheer powder expertly conceals imperfection, refines pores and naturally absorbs excess oil. It’s like magic the way it controls shine on the skin. It contains extracts of licorice to help calm any redness. This powder will make your skin smooth and look air-brushed.
Apply to your skin after your foundation but before bronzer or blusher. Go on…. Try it!
Hi,
Do you have any make-up tips for ladies who wear glasses?
Thanks,

Hi Paula,
Some ladies get put off wearing eye make-up when they wear glasses, but usually it looks better if eye make-up is worn.
First of all, are you long or short sighted? If you are long sighted then your eye will appear larger, so keep the shadow colours soft and matte. Try to use taupe, soft pale shell pinks, brown, and deep plums.
If you are short sighted your eyes will appear smaller. You will need to wear light, slightly more shimmery shadows, plus eyeliners will really help define the shape of your eyes. Line only half way along the top lashes and 1/4 of the way along the base of the lower lashes. Try curling your eyelashes after applying mascara. This works wonders for opening up your eyes and making your eyelashes look fabulous!
My skin has started to dry in areas since all the cold weather so when I put my foundation on it looks flaky in areas. What can I do to stop this? – Anon
Do you use a make-up primer before applying your make-up? It makes such a difference. Not only does it prepare your skin for the foundation it also stimulates collagen growth. It contains vitamins and minerals which will help protect your skin, which you need in this weather! It will leave your skin luminous and youthful looking.
Make sure you have a good skin care routine. You may find you need to use a richer cream on the areas you have dryness. Try gently exfoliating once a week and use a rich night cream at night time and see if this makes any difference.
