Hey guys so I'm back been gone for a little minute but I'm so excited about this new The essentials post. Ok let's jump right into it. We've covered the different primers, foundations and how I fill in my eyebrows now its time for me to tell y'all how I set my face using Pur Minerals pressed powder, powder blush and mineral glow(highlighter). Well let me tell you a little bit of why I started wearing pressed powder because I know a lot of people just wear liquid foundation on their skin but liquid foundation by itself was leaving me shiny and blotchy especially in the summertime...which is code for not flattering. I figured if I found a nice pressed powder to set the liquid foundation everything would stay in place and leave my face fresh looking and Pur Mineral's Pressed Mineral Makeup in Deeper does exactly that.
Don't think that they don't have a wide selection of colors I was pretty surprised on how many they had and specifically for women of color. And you might be thinking well what is the difference between Pur Minerals and Bare Minerals and to me personally it's a huge one. I have tried Bare Minerals before and my face appeared ashy particularly in photos and just really dry so I immediately stopped that brand and reverted back to Pur. Also a lot of people skip the color pressed powders all together and decide to use translucent pressed powders because finding their exact skin tone can be difficult. I've actually tried translucent powder before and really liked it but of course went back to Pur Minerals because Pur gave me extra coverage that translucent powder didn't. As you can see I do like trying new things even if one works almost perfectly I always think one can work even better. Everyone is different so what works great for me might not work as well for you but there is no harm in trying it out! Just make sure you keep your receipts and return those suckers if it doesn't work out so you won't be losing out on loads of money.
I also mentioned powder blush and this is a product of Pur Minerals too along with the mineral glow I mentioned earlier.
These two products go hand and hand with me. I don't use one without the other because they go so well together. Let's start off with the powder blush Pur Mineral has so many different versions of blush but my favorite is their Marble Powder in Spice it shows up so nicely on my face and is long wearing. I mean it doesn't fade at all! It is very matte and that's what I want especially since I'm putting on a mineral glow too. Now let's talk about the Pur mineral glow I pretty much put it on my face as a highlighter, right on my cheek bones and a little on my nose. I feel like this step brightens my face and complements the blush. Don't be fooled by the picture I have above its not that light it actually has more of a bronzer like undertone to it.
I absolutely love all of these products and they really are great for your skin so lightweight. I can honestly say I've never gotten a huge breakout from Pur Minerals. I hope you guys venture out and try something new and you don't have to try all these products at once to be honest I wouldn't advise you to. It can get kind of pricey. Just remember what I said try new things but make sure you keep that receipt because if it doesn't fit your criteria take it back!hahaha
Thank you guys for reading and I will talk to you very soooonnn!!!
