Do You Like The Way Things Are Going Down?

After 8 years of developing and manufacturing mineral makeup, I wanted to 'change the way things were going down' and develop a new mineral base for my products.  Six months of trials have resulted in a new Silk Base that I am extremely pleased with and excited to share with you.  This base is less 'white' than the matte and pearl bases, resulting in truer & clearer colors.
  
The first product using the new base is our Silk Mineral Foundation collection:

THE TEXTURE

Silk Mineral Foundation, our newest mineral foundation,  is the lightest and silkiest of our formulas that still offers buildable coverage that is beautifully blendable. Considered neo-traditional because it has a dewy matte texture with the added benefit of mineral veil finish.

Am I Cool?

Finding makeup that compliments your skin can be tricky. Being able to determine your skin tone will help you to make informed decisions about color selections. There are several tests and simple observations you can make that will help you figure out what your skin tone is. You will need: pure white towel or piece of paper, mirror, silver and gold jewelry. Instructions: Pull your hair back into a pony tail or use a head band to keep all of the hair off of your face. Wash your face and then place a white towel around your neck & shoulders. The pure white cloth or paper will reflect skin undertones. If your face looks yellow next to the white towel you have a warm skin tone and if it looks more blue then you have a cool skin tone. Next: Turn over your arm and look at the veins. Veins that appear greenish indicate yellow undertones which means that your skin tone is warm. Veins that appear more blue indicate blue undertones which means your skin tone is cool. Observe the effect that gold and silver jewelry have on the way your skin looks. This is a helpful way to determine your skin tone. If you look better in silver jewelry you have a cool skin tone, and if you look better in gold then you have a warm skin tone. Look at the natural color of your hair and eyes. People with cool tones usually have blue, green, or grey eyes with blond, black, or brown hair. Those with warm skin tones often have brown, black, or hazel eyes with black, brown, blond, red, or strawberry blond hair. Still not sure?
