With the rising popularity of mineral makeup, choosing a brand that is right for you can be pretty tough. A lot of the lines seem like they’re all basically the same thing. The reality is that they aren’t though. Know that you pay for what you get – if something seems to good to be true, it most likely is. You’re not going to get high quality makeup at bargain bin prices.

However, Everyday Minerals does offer high quality mineral makeup at affordable prices. They use locally-sourced, natural ingredients in their products and one of the best things about their makeup is that its super basic – no unnecessary ingredients are added to their formulations. As someone who values purity in beauty and skincare products, this is very important to me.

Despite using really basic ingredients, the colors can really pop. Everyday Minerals eyeshadow and blush pigments are super rich in color and they offer a range of colors for everyday wear, as well as for special occasions or evening wear.

I tried two eyeshadows, as well as two blushes and decided to create two looks – a more natural, glowing day look, and a darker, smoky evening look.

For the lighter, day look I used Freedom eyeshadow, which is a lovely neutral earth tone. It has a bit of shimmer to it and is a great overall color. I just brushed it all over from the lid to under the brow bone. It is a nice color to give a little extra pop to your eyes and it looks fantastic paired with mascara – the color is light enough that it allows your eyelashes to really stand out. I also used the Sprung! blush, which is a gorgeous dark pink (described as berry on their website) color with a hint of shimmer. The blushes are so rich in color that you really only need to use a tiny bit.

For the evening look, I used the Freedom eyeshadow under the brow as a highlight color, and I used the Starry Eyed eyeshadow for the lid and crease. Starry Eyed is a rich, deep brown color with loads of luster! If you want a smoky eye look, this is perfect for it. I used a lot of this eyeshadow so that it would really show in the pictures – you could definitely use just a little and wear it to work or everyday settings as well. I think it’s perfect to bring out your inner rock diva though! I used the Rhapsody in Peach blush, which is so fabulous – it’s a peachy color with hints of gold shimmer throughout.

I really loved these products. Everyday Minerals has a positive mission to support feminine beauty naturally while protecting our environment. They do not test on animals, all their products are vegan, and they also offer excellent customer service. So if you’re in the market for makeup for your wedding, a bachelorette party, or just everyday use, I highly recommend checking out Everyday Minerals!

Also, I haven’t yet used their foundations, but I am really impressed by their selection of shades – they offer far more shades than most any company I’ve seen, which is great for finding a true match for your complexion. They also have sample kits they can send you so you can find your true base color before purchasing the full-sized product.

So, what are you waiting for? Get over to Everyday Minerals now!

In case you’re curious, I’m wearing an Aveda foundation in the images, Zuzu Luxe mascara, Aveda black eyeshadow as liner in the evening look, and DressGreen (Etsy) tinted lip lush for the evening look.
