Mineral cosmetics don't limit the possibilities of their alternative uses in any way. What's more, the products' loose formulas stimulate the imagination, and with a few quick and simple tricks, you can enjoy new cosmetics without breaking the bank.

More covering foundation formula?

Although experimenting with formula changes doesn't always work, finding the right proportions can allow you to enjoy a more concentrated, more opaque foundation. However, remember that any changes to the formula can reduce the longevity of the mineral cosmetic and ultimately cause it to stop working well with your skin. Therefore, make powder modifications in small jars, avoiding using large amounts of foundation.

There are two ways to increase foundation coverage. First, add a small amount of mineral concealer in the same or a similar shade to your foundation. The best way to apply this product is with a Softie sponge – there's a greater chance the product will blend into the skin, and the concealer will lose its high-coverage, dense consistency.

The second method involves mixing a less pigmented version—matte or illuminating—with a full-coverage version. You can also mix the illuminating and mattifying versions if you want to slightly increase the coverage of your foundation. Remember not to overdo it with the amount of foundation you add, and try a new product each time you apply it. Otherwise, you'll never find the best ratio of ingredients for your skin.

Bronzer too warm or too cool? No problem!

You can easily cool it down or warm it up. To cool down the bronzer, add a pinch of Annabelle Minerals Cornflower shade, and to warm it up, add Sunrise blush. Look how easy it is!

A mineral way to mattify lipstick

Scoop some matte powder onto a brush ( Pretty Matt Annabelle Minerals) , then place a tissue on your lips. Press the brush against the tissue. This simple trick will give your lips a matte finish and make your makeup last longer.

Another good idea is to squeeze out excess lipstick onto a tissue, then pick up some powder on your fingertip and press it onto your lips. Be sure to distribute the powder evenly.

Natural lip gloss ready in less than 5 minutes

Mix lanolin oil with eyeshadow or blush. You can use any blush from the brand for this purpose, as well as the mineral eyeshadows Lilac and Candy . Lanolin oil perfectly softens, moisturizes, and nourishes the lips. In addition to providing a wet and always on-trend natural effect, it nourishes the lips and provides excellent protection against frost. A perfect choice for the current weather!
