Everyday morning I wake up and go through the same boring routine.  I wear the same boring clothes and wear my hair the same boring way and put on the same neutral toned makeup.  That’s my Monday thru causal Friday.  But on Saturday, I let my art degree shine, and I transform from Kinkade to Pollock, from Rockwell to Warhol, from Bob Ross to Rauschenberg.

I toss the bronzes, and browns, and tans and pull out the fun stuff.  Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics (I talked about them before, they have that kicking eyebrow kit) have released a line of colors this summer.  And my secret weapon – Youngblood Pressed Mineral Quad Eye Shadow in Mermaid!

Youngblood Pressed Mineral Quad Eye Shadow

I have green eyes.  And when I wear green, my eyes – they stand out.  On the other hand, when I wear blue, my eyes do some sort of warp and turn aqua marine, and it only gets better when I splash on the blue eye shadow.

And since its minerals and not some chalky, cakey, mystery compound, I know my eyes are going to shine with the reflective crystals in the minerals and my lids will be soft and smooth. And since its minerals, and from the Mother Earth, this makeup is healthier and safer and contains NO petroleum dyes. Mineral cosmetics also don’t support bacterial growth because honestly, who wants bacteria near her eyes?

But colors, colors, colors everywhere, which one to pick?  I have the Cabana Quad, perfect for summer, and I sweep the Aqua across my lips, I feel bold and fashionable and ready for the beach.  I accent with Coast and Sand dollar and throw some Driftwood into the mix.  (Those are the colors names – please don’t throw sand into your eyes)

Anyway, summer is a time for fun, so bring out your inner artist and have fun with your fresh palette. Because remember, even if you go a little too crazy with the color, you can always wash it off and start all over with a clean slate.
