Askmewhats Version: The All Mineral Look

An Reader emailed me and requested for a look using all mineral makeup. I had time to really play with my mineral make-up because of your request. To the reader, you know who you are, Thanks for the request and I hope you like what I did.

Some of my readers (I'm sure they are born with wonderful lashes) told me that they are lazy to put on mascara *gasp* on work days as it takes time and it's tedious to remove them at night.

So, I've joined those readers who are lazy to put on mascara! And to show you what a big impact mascara gives or non-impact a "no mascara" gives! LOL

Here's the final look I created
Yes, it's all mineral and
YES, no mascara!

(they are honestly more vibrant in person,
I lost my camera skill this week, don't know why)



Askmewhats Diagram



I apply a cream base all over the lids
Using Fashion 21 stick e/s in Pearl



Step 1:

Using a taklon brush/concealer brush, pat on She Space's Be The Fairytale e/s on the inner thirds of the lid.



Step 2:

Apply Ellana Mineral Multipurpose powder in Purple on the outer v, using a small crease brush. Blending it inwards with a big fluffy eye blending brush



Since I have very tiny lids,
I apply Joppa's Mystery e/s

(which is matte black)
the outer V to deepe the crease
(this is optional)



Step 3:

Pat on NYX Chrome e/s in Queen on the center of the lid, slowly blend in with the other colors.




Step 4:

Apply my favorite P&J face color as highlighter




Step 5:

Apply MM Gel Liner in Cocoa all over the upper lashline going for the lower lashline too. Top the MM Gel Liner with 4U2 Liquid Liner in Brown.

Use Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Liner in Bourbon on the waterline.



Fill in the brows

No Mascara (I have to stress this lol)


And my final eye look




What's on the rest of my face?



For my face



EDM Golden Fair foundation

with my EDM Flat Top Brush


For my cheeks



1. Apply Joppa's Just Blush

2. Highlight with Eyeko's Pretty Eyes
(first 2 light color)


To set the look




Using MAC's Mineralized Skinfinish Natural
in Light
with my Thevi Dome Brush


For my puckers




Stila Lip Glaze in raspberry


And here's me saying
"Have a wonderful day full of smiles!"



Hope you like the simple look I've created
It's colorful, but still wearable for daytime!
Stay happy!

  3. I like the teal pigment you used...the look is so summery and fresh!

  24. M, since the colors of the eyeko palette is a bit sheer, I'd rather use them as highlighter and it works great :D

    Prettybeautiful, thanks dear

    Connie, lol now now..that's embarrassing to be pinched at this age! LOL

  28. For me, mascara is really important esp to those like me who has very small and thin lashes

    ReplyDelete
  29. i love the look!!! very summery and refreshing!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. The colors are so vibrant even though you said your camera washed the colors out!! You look lovely as always!!

    I love the Stila Lipglazes too!! They're very pigmented and stays on for hours!! I hate the click pen thingy though... sometimes they don't dispense... then the next time you click it comes out in a huge blob!! >.<

    I'm also one of those ppl guilty for not applying mascara! Woops! =X

  33. i guess i'll have to stick to what's left of my mineral make up since im having an odd case of allergic reactions which i don't know what caused it! :(

    ReplyDelete
  34. Anastacia, no worries! I enjoy reading your blog and seeing those creative looks you've been doing!

  35. Reynakatarayan, thanks dear! :)

    Jenn, really? I find it so ..mmm..blah! It was really vibrant in real life :) thanks for liking the look! You are right about the click thingy on stila lipglaze!

    Miracle, we all can't do without mascara! I would say, looking at this photo, I felt so naked

    PB, yes, I've finally found a wonderful way to use the P&J face color! :)

    Lynn, oh no..allergic to mineral makeup??? I hope you find what you're allergic to!

  36. What a beautiful Spring-y look! I love it! And yes....even I am too afraid to put on mascara sometimes. Sad but true. LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I didn't know that Eyeko Pretty Eyes was mineral! Now I want it even more, lol.
    I have to admit that I'm one of those people who often skips mascara ;). It is annoying to get off :-P.
    And of course, such a pretty look again :)...You're so creative :D.
