Mineral Makeup Guide: What It Is and How to Use It
Mineral powder makeup is actually considered the most natural makeup of all! Much loved in cosmetics as it adapts perfectly to all skin types and allows you to obtain a perfect, long-lasting result with a natural finish. Let's find out together what it is and how to use it best! Index Minerals in cosmetics Mineral make up Mask How to apply mineral makeup Minerals in cosmetics Minerals with their pigmentations and iridescences have always been used in cosmetics. There is evidence of the use of mica powder as early as Ancient Egypt. Abandoned for a long time, it has recently returned to the fore because it is effective and completely ecological and dermocompatible. Thanks to modern technologies, mineral makeup has been purified of all supposedly problematic substances to a 100% pure and very simple composition. Even though it is in powder form, it does not clog pores: the skin does not tighten and breathes, it will be as if it did not have it! Mineral make up Mineral makeup is loose powder makeup for the entire face , and the INCI , the list of ingredients, only includes: Not at all Ferrocyanide Chromium Oxide titanium dioxide Kaolin Clay Manganese Violet Silica Ferric Iron Oxides Aluminum Borosilicate Tin Oxide Ultramarines Calcium. Colored oxides and bright micas are expertly mixed to create unique colors. All the minerals used do not interfere with the physiological functions of the skin. Mineral make up is the most eco-friendly of all, being composed only of ingredients of natural origin that do not pollute. No synthetic ingredients, no silicone, no PEG and parabens. In addition, it is completely vegan , it has no ingredients of animal origin. It is anhydrous , meaning it does not contain water and therefore does not require preservatives as there cannot be bacterial proliferation and contamination. Perfect for reactive , delicate and sensitive skin because it does not contain allergens and irritants. Skin rashes, itching and redness are therefore avoided. Mineral makeup does not make the skin greasy but rather has a natural matte effect, suitable for everyone but perfect for young, oily and combination skin. They are cheap ! Yes, they last a long time and you only use a small amount due to the high pigmentation! The choice to use mineral makeup is a conscious choice towards the safety of a product suitable for all skin types, versatile and eco-organic. How to apply mineral makeup The trick to these makeups? Freedom! They are mixable and versatile makeups, you can use a blush as an eyeshadow, mix colors and create new makeups! Mineral makeup can be applied with the fingertips or with the special brushes. They can be used dry or wet , in this way the color will be more vivid, intense and pigmented. To do this, just wet the brush and apply the makeup. Choose specific products, such as Sunset Fix&Fresh Purobio Cosmetics, which is a fixing spray for makeup but is also perfect for wetting the brush to intensify powder products. Don't just think about shades, bold lines are also perfect, like eyeliner. Just use a damp brush specifically for applying them. {"layoutMobile":2,"layoutDesktop":3,"buttonAlign":"Center","buttonText":"Go to product","productTitle":{"hue":213,"saturation":0,"brightness":0,"alpha":1},"priceColor":{"hue":0,"saturation":1,"brightness":0},"discountPrice":{"hue":356,"saturation":0.74,"brightness":1},"buttonCo lor":{"hue":26.67,"saturation":0.037,"brightness":0.9529,"alpha":1},"textBottomColor":{"hue":0,"satu ration":0,"brightness":0.018750000000000044,"alpha":1},"activeTitleButton":false,"moreProduct":"View all","moreProductUrl":"cesbgg-kq.myshopify.com","rowNumber":1,"dynamicProductId":[{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14975783960962","title":"Pennello per fondotinta in Crema e Polvere","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"9.00","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/pennello-per-fondotinta-in-crema-e-polvere-avril-yumibio-588.webp?v=1752682633&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/pennello-per-fondotinta-in-crema-e-polvere","altImage":"Pennello per fondotinta in Crema e Polvere - Avril"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14976945324418","title":"Pennello per Ombretto in Polvere n. 07","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"8.90","compareAtPrice":"9.89","imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/pennello-per-ombretto-in-polvere-n-07-purobio-yumibio-419.webp?v=1752509412&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/pennello-per-ombretto-in-polvere-n-07","altImage":"Pennello per Ombretto in Polvere n. 07 - Purobio"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977198817666","title":"Pennello Precision Eyeliner Brush","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"12.58","compareAtPrice":"14.80","imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/pennello-precision-eyeliner-brush-finis-terre-yumibio-196.jpg?v=1751254848&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/pennello-precision-eyeliner-brush","altImage":""},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14976833585538","title":"Pennello Cipria e Bronzer - Azalea Powder","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"16.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/pennello-cipria-e-bronzer-azalea-powder-neve-cosmetics-yumibio-657.webp?v=1752702831&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/pennello-cipria-e-bronzer-azalea-powder","altImage":"Pennello Cipria e Bronzer - Azalea Powder - Neve Cosmetics"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977068401026","title":"Pennello Kabuki Flat","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"19.97","compareAtPrice":"23.50","imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/pennello-kabuki-flat-finis-terre-yumibio-213.webp?v=1752708765&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/pennello-kabuki-flat","altImage":"Pennello Kabuki Flat - Finis Terre"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14975784518018","title":"Pennello per Correttore Liquido e in Polvere","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"11.20","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/pennello-per-correttore-liquido-e-in-polvere-avril-yumibio-113.webp?v=1752691396&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/pennello-per-correttore-liquido-e-in-polvere","altImage":"Pennello per Correttore Liquido e in Polvere - Avril"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14976879001986","title":"Pennello per Polveri","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"24.00","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/pennello-per-polveri-liquidflora-yumibio-108.jpg?v=1751229255&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/pennello-per-polveri","altImage":""}],"typeSearch":"product","device":"desktop","decimalsPrice":2,"aspectRatio":"3 / 4","isAutoPlay":false,"isNavigation":false,"isPriceDisplay":false,"rowDynamic":"mot","activeDecimals":false,"hidden":false,"locked":false,"positionPrice":false,"currencyCodeCustom":"$","activeDynamicProd":true,"blockName":"Product"} Pennello per fondotinta in Crema e Polvere EUR 9.00 Go to product Pennello per Ombretto in Polvere n. 07 EUR 8.90 EUR 9.89 Go to product Pennello Precision Eyeliner Brush EUR 12.58 EUR 14.80 Go to product Pennello Cipria e Bronzer - Azalea Powder EUR 16.90 Go to product Pennello Kabuki Flat EUR 19.97 EUR 23.50 Go to product Pennello per Correttore Liquido e in Polvere EUR 11.20 Go to product Pennello per Polveri EUR 24.00 Go to product To apply mineral foundation, it is a good idea to get a special brush: the kabuki .

Color correcting: multi-color correctors for a perfect complexion
Color correcting: multi-color correctors for a perfect complexion The new contouring is the Color Correcting Clash, literally “color correcting opposition”. Green, purple, orange, yellow to neutralize unpleasant tones and even out the complexion. Index The theory of colors How to do color correcting The corrective colors The theory of colors Let's start from the beginning. In 1961, the painter Johannes Itten (1888–1967) created the color circle . The Itten color wheel is a circle that allows you to easily identify the three primary colors yellow, red, blue ; the secondary colors orange, purple, green created by the combined union of the primaries and the six tertiary colors that are formed by combining the primary colors with the secondaries. The colors are also arranged in the circle dividing the warm colors, which go from yellow to red , and the cold colors, which go from purple to green. With color theory Itten also identifies complementary colors that are opposite to each other in the outer circle. These colors have a unique characteristic: they cancel each other out in a neutral color when superimposed and they enhance each other in brightness when placed side by side. Each color has only one complementary. And why are we interested in this 17th century gentleman and his theory? Because this is the basis of the Color Correcting Clash technique, also known as Clown Contouring due to the color mix used! How to do color correcting We then discovered that each color has its own complementary that neutralizes it if overlapped, this allows us to apply and blend the right colors in the right areas with their complementary to even out the face, hide imperfections and illuminate the face. This technique should be done after the primer but before the foundation. The corrective colors Green, purple, orange, yellow are the four colors that correct discolorations and imperfections of the skin on the face. The Green We already know that it is used to reduce redness as it complements red. The Purple A pale purple, more in the tone of lavender, cancels out yellows . Yellow and purple are complementary colors. It is used in makeup to illuminate dull and yellow-leaning olive complexions, especially in the T-zone (chin - nose - forehead) The Orange Tones from orange to peach through pink neutralize dark spots and shadows . They are most often used to correct dark circles and areas marked by hyperpigmentation . They also give a fresh look to the face making it more lively and less tired because they make the eyes bright! The Yellow Yellow neutralizes dark blue and purple tones. Perfect for covering dark circles . Use sparingly, apply only to the affected areas and when necessary! {"layoutMobile":2,"layoutDesktop":3,"buttonAlign":"Center","buttonText":"Go to product","productTitle":{"hue":213,"saturation":0,"brightness":0,"alpha":1},"priceColor":{"hue":0,"saturation":1,"brightness":0},"discountPrice":{"hue":356,"saturation":0.74,"brightness":1},"buttonCo lor":{"hue":26.67,"saturation":0.037,"brightness":0.9529,"alpha":1},"textBottomColor":{"hue":0,"satu ration":0,"brightness":0.018750000000000044,"alpha":1},"activeTitleButton":false,"moreProduct":"View all","moreProductUrl":"cesbgg-kq.myshopify.com","rowNumber":1,"dynamicProductId":[{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977068237186","title":"Palette 4 Correttori","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"6.00","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/palette-4-correttori-benecos-yumibio-569.webp?v=1752513203&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/palette-4-correttori","altImage":"Palette 4 Correttori - Benecos"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14976942276994","title":"Matitone Correttore - 34 Lilla","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"7.10","compareAtPrice":"7.89","imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/matitone-correttore-34-lilla-purobio-yumibio-621.webp?v=1752532366&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/matitone-correttore-34-lilla","altImage":"Matitone Correttore - 34 Lilla - Purobio"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14976850854274","title":"Correttore Pesca","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"12.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/correttore-pesca-neve-cosmetics-yumibio-545.jpg?v=1751227804&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/correttore-pesca","altImage":""},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14976850887042","title":"Correttore Giallo","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"12.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/correttore-giallo-neve-cosmetics-yumibio-455.webp?v=1752787214&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/correttore-giallo","altImage":""},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14976850788738","title":"Correttore Verde","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"12.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/correttore-verde-neve-cosmetics-yumibio-723.webp?v=1752703174&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/correttore-verde-1","altImage":"Correttore Verde - Neve Cosmetics"}],"typeSearch":"product","device":"desktop","decimalsPrice":2,"aspectRatio":"3 / 4","isAutoPlay":false,"isNavigation":false,"isPriceDisplay":false,"rowDynamic":"mot","activeDecimals":false,"hidden":false,"locked":false,"positionPrice":false,"currencyCodeCustom":"$","activeDynamicProd":true,"blockName":"Product"} Palette 4 Correttori EUR 6.00 Go to product Matitone Correttore - 34 Lilla EUR 7.10 EUR 7.89 Go to product Correttore Pesca EUR 12.90 Go to product Correttore Giallo EUR 12.90 Go to product Correttore Verde EUR 12.90 Go to product Continue to discover our tips for your perfect makeup in our make-up section !
