I made the switch! - Natural Makeup

 So...I finally did it!!! I cleared out my makeup cupboard and made the switch! I took everything with parabynes in it and stitch it out with natural makeup. I had been meaning to do this for months, because I knew that parabynes were a synthetic chemical that can tamper with hormones.

As a woman, I have no need to to have more hormonal problems!

So, I will give you my thoughts on each of these products.

Gabriel Moisturizing Liquid Foundation:
This is one of the lightest shades that Gabriel sells in the liquid foundation, but it matches my fairer skin perfectly. It goes on smooth and dries in a beautiful matte finish. It gives me a medium coverage that works well with my complexion. I would recommend this makeup to anyone who is looking for a medium coverage foundation free of parabynes and good for sensitive skin.

Mineral Fusion Pressed Powder Foundation:
I have grown to love this simple pressed powder. It goes on like silk and leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh. If I don't have time to do my full makeup routine, I will us this as my coverage foundation and go. It makes things easy and fast. I would also recommend this product to anyone who likes a smooth powder foundation that provides a medium coverage when applied with a thick powder brush.

Mineral Fusion Two Tone Concealer:
This two tone mineral concealer is thick but goes on for a professional blemish "concealer". The lighter of the two colors works awesome on red blotches, pimples, and under eye circles. This is THE BEST concealer I have used to date! I apply with a small brush and smooth in.


Well, there it is. I'll tell you my routine so you can have an idea of what I do when I go out. On a regular basis, I usually apply the concealer with a small brush. Then I take a large powder brush smooth the pressed powder foundation over my cheeks, chin, temples and forehead. After this I usually apply mascara if it is a day when I feel like wearing it. On a special occasion I will usually apply the liquid foundation after the concealer and then brush over it with pressed powder. I also will wear earth tone eyeshadow with a little bit of light shimmer.

So there you have it! My new makeup and my simple and easy routine.
