Eye Shadow Brush for Mineral Eye Shadows

Like with anything else, it's important to use the right tool for the job. I mean you wouldn't use a spoon to try to cut your steak .. now would you ?! hehehe

If your not using the right tool to apply your mineral eye shadows, it maybe the reason your not getting the desired effect.

Mineral eye shadows are totally different from regular pressed eye shadows, first for the obvious reason, that it's natural but their also in a loose powder form.

Since these are all loose pigments, you need a brush other than the fluffy one you may use for your pressed eye shadow. Mineral eye shadows require more of a stiff brush made of either natural or synthetic bristles. The main thing is that it has stiff bristles, so you can "pack" the loose powder on your eye lids. Like this chisel fluff eye shadow brush:


This one is great not only for applying mineral eye shadows, but also pressed shadows. Works great for both dry application, and foiling. (applying mineral eye shadows wet) The chisle fluff also is a great crease brush. It's oval shape and firm bristles can easily get those mineral pigments into the eye lid crease.

Since this brush is firm and made of natural bristles it's really able to pack those loose pigments onto your eye lid; as opposed to dusting your lid with a sheer wash of color, as a fluffy brush would.

Give it a try and see what a big difference the right tools can make for applying mineral makeup.

GRRR!! Darn Camera!!

Warning - a little bit of a rant going on in this post!! :D

Well as my new home - Bonanzle is growing like fire .. I was planning on adding a few of my latest creations in my booth at some point this past weekend to keep up. If you've been to my booth .. you know I didn't update it as of yet!!

Surprise ... Surprise! Something had to go wrong .. I mean, naturally. For some reason my $400 camera decided to have a hissy. Not a little on either, full out hissy fit!! I don't understand ..

The problem is with the lens .. it comes out, when I turn on the camera, but makes kind of like a grinding noise. My DH says it needs oiling .. well anyways, it won't retract back once I shut off the camera. On the screen I get an error message to restart my camera, as an error occurred and it could not shut down. So now I'm going to have a hissy .. because I can't photograph my new creations

Now this would be a simple problem if it happened to anyone but me - as I have an extended warranty. The catch is that I got it for Christmas last year but was bought in Canada as I was still living there!! SOOOOO now I have to return it to the store in Canada. Why does everything turn out to be just a little more complex with me ?? lol Now I don't know how long I will be without a camera!! Yipes :O

Anyway .. I'll make another post - and update on my new creations

Till then .. GO BONANZLE!!
