Necessary Tools for Making your Mineral Makeup

Very often we read online or in books that we need a lot of tools in making mineral makeup but in fact if you are just making it for self use and friends you don't really need all those tools.

All you need for special equipments are the absolutely essential ones: a good scale, some measuring spoons and a blender. All of these should be used only for cosmetic puposes. Sure enough you don't want to have a meal spiced up with mineral makeup :D

First, you will need an electric balance. This is especially important if you wish to remake what you have created. A good scale for cosmetic measurement should be able to measure in 2 decimal places. If you were in science class you probably have seen a big one before that looks like this:

  

This kind are very good for science projects as it can easily measure up to 4 decimal places. However, it is way more expensive and generally a balance that measures up to 2 decimal places are good enough. Therefore, you might want a smaller balance like the following:

This balance can weigh 300 grams of powder in maximum and gives an accurate weight measurement to 0.01 gram. I picked this up from a street market for less than 20 bucks. You will be able to find something cheaper definitely but I chose this because it was the best of its kind in my area.

You should use this to measure your iron oxide because it is an extremely sensitive colourant. A 0.1 g difference will ruin the shade and tone of your makeup. I do not recommend using your food balance in the kitchen as it rounds up to 1 gram in its measurement. It can change a foundation to a blush.  

Second, you would want some measuring spoons. You will want a set of spoons that has a very tiny spoon as their smallest one. 

The smallest spoon at the bottom is very good for adjusting the colour of your makeup. The bigger ones can be used for base powder.

You should use the smallest spoon to take out the iron oxide and measure it with the balance. Remember to measure the weight of your spoon before you take your iron oxide out and do the subtraction to see who many grams of iron oxide you used.

You might think there is no need to use an electric balance if you have a very small spoon for the pigments. But by the time you attempt to recreate your makeup you will realise how different the colour can become. So if you really want to have recreate your makeup accurately, make sure you have an electric balance :)

Finally, the last and absolutely important thing you need is a blender strong enough to blend your makeup together without streaking. A lot of mineral makeup users praise the blender "Magic Bullet". But I think any blender equally powerful can do the same trick. Depending on the portion of makeup you make, you best blender can range from a small coffee grinder to a giant blender. For a small portion, a coffee grinder is best.

But for a bigger portion, a blender is better. This is my blender:

 

A Magic Bullet blender has only a 350 watts motor. With that reference, you can shop whatever blender that has grinder blades with similar power.

So these are the essential tools you need for making your own mineral makeup. Tell me what you want to see here by leaving us your comments and we will have some makeup fun together !

Making Mineral Makeup with a Blender

Hi Makeup Lovers! This time we are going to make our mineral makeup with a blender!

Usually a blender is used when you make a bigger batch but we are using only a small amount of powder as this is just a demonstration. So shall we start?:)


Put all the base powder into the blending cup just like you would do with the mortar.

As you can see there is a difference in colour in the two kinds of powder in the cup. The one in the lower part of the picture is a bit yellow. That is just how the colour of titanium dioxide is. So do not worry and think your titanium dioxide has expired when you see the colour difference.

Afterwards, Add the iron oxides according to the skin colour you are creating. I am making one with a heavy yellow undertone and hence the bigger amount of yellow iron oxide. Be aware of the amount of iron oxide you use as it is a very sensitive ingredient in your makeup. A tiny bit of it can change the tone drastically so make sure you think very carefully before you add more or you risk wasting a whole batch of base powder and iron oxide.

## One good tip is that you can mix the base powder with the iron oxide in the cup by hand before you start blending it as that can further avoid streaking. ##

 

Next, Blend away!

 

 

Make sure you blend long enough to have the iron oxide completely ground or there will be streaks of uneven colours left on your face when applyiong your foundation. The total blending time would be around 4 minutes for me as I'd like to make sure everything is blended well enough. Make sure you stop your blender in between the 4 minutes to shake the cup to ensure even blending of the powder and to avoid overheating your blender.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

~OK. Times up!~

 

 ## DO NOT OPEN the cup until letting it set for a few minutes after the blending otherwise you will see all your makeup dust flying everywhere~!##

 



This is how the end product is. You can see that it is very nicely blended. Now you can use a clean brush to gently brush off the powder from the side of the cup and put it in your favourite jar!

 

 

 

This has been fun to do! How did you like this post? Let me know by leaving your comment here. Friend me on facebook & Support our Starter page *links on the side bar*. Follow us on Instagram to see our most updated pictures!

Mineral Makeup Promotion with Instagram

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. *I wish it was:P*

Everyday I am learning something new in launching my mineral makeup! In just the past few days I have tried using instagram to show the world my mineral makeup and learned the basics of it!

At first I only uploaded pictures on instagram without adding any description or comments or anything. But very quickly I realised that is not going to do any good as I am not getting any views.

Then my girlfriend taught me a few tricks which I am gonna share with you guys. It helped and my pictures are gaining audience!

1. Hashtag your pictures to a related category. 

Hash tagging your pictures relate your pictures to other ones that are already under that category. It means if you tag the correct category, your pictures will be viewed by people who have the same interests as you. For example, if I tag my pictures as #mineralmakeup, then all the people who are browsing for mineralmakeup will see my pictures and hence increase the chance of your product being noticed by interested parties. 

People who are selling on instagram can tag the following words: onlinestore, onlineshop, buy, sell, yourcountrynameonlinestore, etc. 
 

2. Hashtag your pictures to popular hashtags.

Also, you can hashtag your pictures to tags that are not related to your pictures but are extremely popular such as #justinbieber. There are millions of pictures on him and lots of girls browse through it. So if you are interested in getting the attention of a certain group of people, all you need to do is to tag what they are interested in.

Other popular tags include #new and #like and different country names such as #philippines #thailand #usa #hk #england #swedish *Surprisingly #swedish has more picstures than #sweden which is not the case for other countries such as #england and #english*


3. Like the pictures of those who are under the hashtag you are interested in and are using

For example, I would start liking the pictures of girls who are under the hashtag #mineralmakeup if I would like to promote healthly mineral makeup as they would be interested in what you have got to show. I have got some followers by using this tactic within an hour. 

You can also use this technique to expand the range of audience for your products. For example, I hash tagged my pic #vegan and a few minutes later our page gained a new supporter who is vegan. 


There are really various way of gaining supporters on Instagram and I am learning everyday! I hope these tricks I just showed are helpful for those who has just started using it! Let me know if you have your own tricks by commenting here or on facebook page on the side bar!



BTW...

There are only 39 days left for our fund raising campaign! Help us spread the word and raise fund to launch our mineral makeup! Check us out on our facebook and fund raising page on the side bar!

Making Mineral Makeup foundations in small batches

Hi guys! Due to technical reason, I was not able to post anything on my blog so I am so sorry about that! 

But as promised, I am gonna show you some of our foundation colours today !

To make a small batch, all you need is the powder ingredients and a mortar and pestle. Put all the powder you need into the container. We have more than two but this is just to show there is more than one*

Mix the powder well after you put all the base powder together. Next, add the iron oxides to add colours to your foundation. 

 

Mix away !

Make sure you mix long and hard enough to get all the iron oxide well mixed. Or else there might be streaks of colours left on your face when using it. Since the colour of the light at my house is a bit yellow, so here is a pic of the foundation colour after it is well mixed in day light. A little Tip: you should always mix your foundation under natural light to see the true colour of your foundation!

Tadaa!!!

 

This is a foundation for people with light skin colour. And here is one for people with darker skin colour :)

Aren't they gorgeous?? Let me know what you think about them by commenting on this post or by writing to us on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/ever.essence.5?fref=ts. All comments are appreciated.We have also just set up our Instagram: ever_essence_mineral_makeup. We will be uploading pictures there whenever new things come up!

We know we can make it with your support! Thank you!

Making Mineral makeup with Mortar

Sorry for the late entry today guys. To relieve your distress from waiting for me for the whole day, I bring to you my precious "Holy Grail" ! 

This is the mortar I use to grind my minerals to make sure they are nicely mixed. As before I was only making it for myself, a mortar was good enough for the small portion I needed. I chose a metal one because the rock ones I came across are not smoothened on the inside. When I touch its inside, it leaves a trace of powder on my finger. You might think "oh its minerals too because it's from the rock~" But I am not about to put anything suspicious on my face:)

There are other ones that are made by wood as well. However, wood absorbs water vapour in the air and even if you try to keep it dry it still gets damp after a while. Also, manufacturers usually put a coat of chemicals on top of the wood to keep it from decaying. So it is highly possible you would be getting those chemicals in your powder while grinding with the wood mortar. That is the reason why I choose stainless steel. It is the cleanest, strongest and easiest to deal with. Just make sure you clean and dry it regularly after use and it's good!

Tomorrow I will be showing you guys one of our Foundations so Be sure to come back and check us out !!

The Iron Oxides, Magnesium Stearate and Jar Samples :D !!!

Yeah I finally got my iron oxide samples! Even though there was some sort of accident which happened to them. I also got the new sample foundation jar with some surprises too. But first we will look at the iron oxides!

I ordered 3 iron oxides which are red, yellow and brown iron oxides and one magnesium stearate. Iron oxides are the colourants of the foundation powder while magnesium stearate is used to improve the texture of the mineral makeup. It also helps make sure the makeup doesn't melt away as fast. 

So here they are!

     

 

 When I opened it though, I found it was torn inside one of the samples so the magnesium stearate was everywhere.

This chemical company has already screwed up on their samples delivery before. And this time even though they did arrived, they were all over the place. But hey~ I still got most of them in one piece!

Here is a picture of them after being cleaned. 

 Aren't they beautiful? :))) 

Next we have the new foundation sample jar. This manufacturer was nice enough to give me two extra small powder jar which would be perfect for eyeshadow and powder samples and that made my day :D

The foundation jar definitely has a better quality than the previous one and is also cheaper so I think I will order from them instead. For the smaller jars, one has a diamond shaped bottom inside which looks gorgeous while the other one has the typical design. They both have a closeable sifter though which is a Bonus!

So What do you guys think? Which smaller jar would you prefer having as your eye shadow or sampling jar, the diamond shaped one or the typical one?

Let us know which one you like better and leave your comments here or on our facebook page:

GOOD DAY my Dear Campaign Supporters, Facebookers, Bloggers and MMU Lovers!

It looks like we will be able to take our MMU production cost down a bit more! I just received a new quotation from yet another packaging company who has a lower price for the rotating sifter jar for both bulk and small orders. 

However, it is still a large sum of money so we would LOVE LOVE LOVE it if you guys can Keep Spreading the Word and Supporting us on our MMU Fund Raising Campaign to launch the Healthiest and Most BEAUTIFUL Mineral Makeup at http://igg.me/at/eemm.

Here is a picture of the new jar which is on its way now!

This new jar is a few mini meters wider than the previous one with a similar height so the brush can swirl even better. So far it seems like a better deal but we'll have to see its quality once it arrives!

More posts will be coming today.

No more Easter holiday!!!

I love holidays in general but not these few days! That is because I just found out the only reason I wasn't able to get my Iron Oxide samples earlier is because of the 4 consecutive days of Easter Holiday!! NOO!!!!>_<!!

 

Lets hope I will get my samples TOMORROW!!!!

Our Foundation Jar Sample has Arrived

WOHOO! After sampling for a long time, we have finally found a type of Jar which is perfect for holding our foundation powder! 

A 30g PS Jar with a Rotating Sifter!!!!! 

This is the most suitable jar as it has a closeable sifter so that when you carry your makeup with you the powder will not come out from the sifter and make a mess like the one you see at the bottom right corner in the picture.

Also, a 30g jar has a bigger lid which allows the brush to swirl in it. This is preferred by most of the MMU users as it gives a more even application of the foundation with the brush. 

What do you guys think? Would you like to have your MMU in this jar?? Let us know what you think by leaving your comments!

There leaves so much more samplings to do. Our next coming samples which are the irons oxides should arrive in a couple days. Cant wait to share with all of you !
