A Natural Look:

how to apply makeup for brown eyes

  • Sweep on Sea Green using your Oval Blender. Cover the entire lid, lashes to crease.
  • Press Tan into the outer two-thirds of the crease using your Chisel Shader Brush. 
  • Use the Small Fluff Brush or the top edge of the Chisel Shader to press Forest into the outer two-thirds of the upper lash line. 
  • With the same brush (wiped clean on a tissue), press Blue Sky into the entire lower lash line.
  • Blend everything well and apply several coats of Longest Lash Mascara.

A Glamorous Look:

How to apply evening makeup for brown eyes

  • With the Oval Blender, sweep Sea Green from the inner corner to the middle of the brow bone.
  • With the Deluxe Shader, pat Blue Sky into the center of the eyelid, blending up into the crease.
  • With the Chisel Shader, apply Tan to the outer two-thirds of the lid, from lashes right up to the brow bone.
  • Using the same brush, layer Forest over the Tan, from the lash line into the crease.
  • With the Angle Definer Brush, press Licorice into the lower lash line. You may wish to moisten the brush first to up the intensity of the Licorice or any other shade you wish to amplify.
  • Blend well and apply PureLash Extender & Conditioner and PureLash Mascara in Jet Black.

Voila! The finished look:

The colors here are distinct to illustrate the look. On you it should look more subtle and blended.

Is it true that the pressed powder mineral foundation is for oily skin; and that the loose mineral powder is for dry/mature skin? 
 
Or is it a matter of preference. 
 
Help...I am about to purchase & get conflicting info. Thanks. Kate

Kate, I usually ask my clients if they prefer a more matte finish or a dewey finish. If they like matte, go for the pressed. If they prefer dewey, go for the loose. One benefit of the loose is that it is easier to get more coverage. The pressed is better for oily and the loose is better for dry skin, but I think it is more the effect you want and how much coverage you need. Hope that helps!

Hi Kate, 
 
Rhonda gave you a great answer (thanks Rhonda!). Both are appropriate for any skin type. Your choice depends entirely on the finish and coverage you prefer. My 81- year old mother who has dry/mature skin, wears PurePressed because she prefers a sheer, semi-matte finish. It is true that it is easier to get more coverage with loose, but you can certainly build up as much as you need with either pressed or loose. The key is layering and spritzing! I cannot recommend strongly enough that you get the right brush for your base: The Handi for pressed and the Chisel Powder for loose. This will really help you get the results you want and is worth the investment. Also, Hydration Spray is wonderful for setting the minerals (and nurturing your skin).

Love the Brown Eye (Pure Impact  
collection) look! 
 
For the daytime look above, 
what Lip Fixation would give  
a Fall look?  
 
(I am using Copper Wind Blush.) 
 
Thanks for any suggestions...

Hi Melissa! 
 
Sorry, that was a quick question but you had to wait a long tie for the response! Whisper PurePressed Blush is comperable to that NARS shade ;)

Hi Joan, 
 
Any of the new Lip Fixations will look great and give you a different look. Try Rapture for that classic red or Devotion for this fall's it-color. The trick for a gorgeous, sheer daytime wash of color, is to apply just a few dots of color on the lips and blend with your fingers while still wet. Leave it as is for a soft matte look, or add shine with the gloss end. 
 
Have fun!
