The She Space and Pure Anada Look



I haven't used my She Space piggies in months! Here is a look featuring one of the eye kits Heather makes (it's under Kits for Eyes). I used Broken Rules wet using my MAC mixing medium, and applied the rest dry. I didn't know that Broken Rules has pretty nuances of taupey rose and I see some pink thrown in for good measure. It's really pretty, and perfect for school, work or any daytime activity.







I used:
MAC Beige-ing shadestick as base
TSS Broken Rules foiled on lid
TSS Shadows of Doubt on mid to outer lid
TSS Rock & Roll on crease and outer V
Taylormade mineral shadow in Amazon above crease and to highlight
Indelible gel liner in Black Cherry to line
MAC Graphblack technakohl liner on water line

Heather is coming out with an amazing summer collection of color-changing pigments, titled Cinderella Dumped Her Fella, and the pictures and especially the descriptions are absolutely gorgeous. That would be something to look forward to.





I finally got my full size Pure Anada mineral foundation jars! Soooo happy! I really love this foundation. It really lasts a long time and coverage is amazing. I noticed though that when I use Flaxen Field with Golden Harvest, there seems to be a slight whitish cast in the pics because of its clash with the flash. When I use straight Flaxen Field (which is a tad dark on me), the whitish cast considerably diminishes or goes away altogether.





Face:
Camellia Rose skin-smoothing primer v.2
Pure Anada mineral foundatio (75-25 mix of Flaxen Field and Golden Harvest)
Dermablend Quick Fix undereye concealer
Monave concealer foundation in Hyeyeon to spot-conceal blemishes
Bare Escentuals Well Rested
Bare Escentuals mineral veil
Lumiere veena mineral blush in Fresh Roses
Dayna's Glow #1 on top of blush (discontinued)

Lips:
MAC cremestick lipliner in Creamola
MAC lipstick in Twig-twig
MAC dazzleglass in Money, Honey

To show how Flaxen Field doesn't give the whitish cast, here's a look using straight Flaxen Field:



Or maybe the absence of the whitish cast was due to the fact that it wasn't an indoor shot? I took pics inside the car, but sunlight floods the car on all sides, so it's like I'm taking a shot outdoors as well.

Hello,

First off, I want to thank you for being my informant on the Pure Anada mineral makeup line =) I've been using mineral makeup for about 4 years now, but have always stuck with Everyday Minerals. Well thanks to you and The Mineral Makeup Blog, I finally found the guts to start venturing out and try the others out there. I wrote to Pure Anada and told them about how I found out about their company through you and I was insanely surprised to found out that they're located right here in the same state as I do! Mind you, I live in a fairly small city (Winnipeg) and mineral makeup here is not as popular yet as it is in other bigger cities, but I'm sure it will eventually. Anyhow, just wanted to drop you line and say thank you for maintaining your very helpful blog and allowing me to get over my fear of trying something new.

Oh yeah, I wanted to see if you could help me out with something. What type of primer do you use under your mineral foundation? I've been using Coastal Scents Diva Defense Powder Primer and I really like it, but then again, I can't really compare it to other powder primers out there because asides to the Everyday Minerals Silk Dust (which didn't turn out so well as a primer), those two are the only powder primers I've tried. So care to share what it is you use? I have oily skin and some hyperpigmentation with a not-so-smooth complexion. So something that will diminish these imperfections would be ideal. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help you can give!

ana lizel- thank you for the compliments! It's great that you found Pure Anada via my blog. I really am loving the foundation. I've been using Camellia Rose skin smoothing primer for 2 years now and I'm loving it. It really smoothens the skin and shrinks the appearance of pores, and it also makes the foundations last longer. You can buy it at camellia-rose.com. HTH!

Thank you for the response! Definitely helpful! I've already placed a sample order for the Camellia Rose primer and I am hoping it will do good for me as it has for you =)
