AMW Reviews: V&M Mineral Makeup

I haven't touched my mineral makeup for years!  Oh my, am I one of those mineral makeup hoarders who purchased a lot of samples online and never looked back?

I hope not!  And I guess not!  As today, I will be rekindling my Mineral Makeup Romance!  And I created this look :)

All products used are from V&M Mineral Makeup
Except Eyebrow Pencils, Eyeliner and Lipstick

V&M Mineral Foundation
Pros

• Soft and smooth against skin.
• Build-able coverage.
• Light to Medium Heavy coverage.
• Has oil control and does not dry out my dry skin.
• Gives a nice, natural glow.
• V&M mineral foundation is divided into Olive, Warm and Cool Undertone which makes it easier for online buyers to choose their shades.

Cons

• Difficult to choose your shade online.  
• Messy as compared to pressed minerals.

Swatch (Warm Undertone Mocha Creme)

• As seen on photo, with just an "indirect" camera flash, it gives an overall glow to my skin.
• Coverage done is medium as you can still see the tiny mole on my cheek.  I did not apply more as Mocha Creme is the lightest on warm undertone, I think I would personally prefer Java Shake which is their medium shade! 

V&M Mineral Blush: Shimmer and Matte
Pros

• Gives a very natural flush.
• Build-able.

Cons

• Messy application.
• Re-application may be needed during the day especially if you have oily skin.

Swatch (Peach Spark)

• Peach Spark is on the shimmery side and it does give a beautiful flush even when applied a bit more than the usual!  

V&M Eyeshadow: Allure
Pros

• Very pigmented.
• A little goes a long way!
• Very smooth and easy to blend.

Cons

• Difficult to control the amount of product needed especially for first time mineral eyeshadow users.
• Fall outs during application.
• Creases in the middle of the day so an eyeshadow primer is definitely needed.

Swatches (Starbright and Satin)

Starbright is applied on the inner thirds of my eyes concentrating more on the crease and applied Satin on the outer v blending inwards with a "round" shape to make my eyes appear larger.

Starbright was also applied on the inner corner of the eyes for brighter eyes.

V&M Finishing Powder: Subtle Sexiness
Pros 

• Super unique, one of the most unique mineral product I've ever tested.
• Subtle sexiness is definitely the perfect name! 
• Imagine a spotlight focused on your face ALL THE TIME!

Cons

• If over applied or not blended well, a chunk of "SHINE" will be seen under lighting.

Swatch

I like applying this with a brush then blend with fingers!

The warmth of the fingers will help blend the product well and remove excess

See the subtle shine and glow?
