Skincare Makeup – Mineral Makeup Secrets

Rachel K Mineral Benefits


Rachel K Mineral makeup is a premium, high-end line with many formulation choices to meet the needs of every skin type. Due to its exceptional adherence, nonaggressive properties and sun protection factor, mineral powder is ideal for those who experience acne, rosacea, distended capillaries and hyperpigmentation, as well as after laser treatments, chemical peels or cosmetic surgery. The minerals work to decrease irritation and redness in the skin, and do not clog pores; they contain no oils, fragrances or synthetic colors or dyes, and have natural healing qualities as well as natural sun protection properties.



Not all mineral makeup is the same, and many grades and quality exist on the market. Many are not as natural as they claim to be, and there is no clearer proof than the ingredient contained in them.

With so many different brands of mineral makeup on the market, choosing the right makeup for you can be difficult. Rachel K only utilizes the finest ingredients available (Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic grade raws). Although the ingredient lists of different mineral products may appear to be identical, they are not! There are several grades of raw materials; a variety of densities, dispersions, particle sizes and opacity levels. The quality and variation in particle size, grade, feel, etc. all contribute to the final product. Beware of bargain mineral makeups that use low grades as well as additional, unnecessary fillers.


Loose Powder Foundation




The minerals are much more forgiving than traditional makeup. One shade will suit a variety of skin tones because the minerals are light reflective and do not absorb light the way most makeup does.

Matt Finish Shade

4 lightweight, breathable shades that are perfectly matte. Recommended for sensitive skin and normal to oily skin types or anyone having trouble applying standard mineral makeup. This photo friendly makeup is great for smoothing out mature, textured skin.



Original Shade Matt Finish Shade Cool

(neutral & slight pink undertones)

Snow Extremely Pale Complexions
Porcelain COOL FAIR Fair
Butterscotch Medium
Praline Early Tan or Bronzer with pink undertones
Terra Cotta Tan or Bronzer with pink undertones
Shade Name Warm (Golden Undertones)


Hazel WARM LIGHT Fair
Luscious WARM MEDIUM Medium
Fawn Early Tan or Light Latin American
Samba TAN Medium/Dark 1 – Tanned Skin – Latin American
Cinnamon DEEP Medium Dark 2 (Light African American)
Bronze DARK Dark (ethnic complexions and everyday bronzer for all)

Mineral Rice Perfection Setting Powders


Create the perfect matte finish with this lightweight, translucent powder. Use to tone down shine from over applied foundations. Mineral Rice Perfection Setting Powder uses rice starch, cornstarch and minerals and is completely talc free. Rice Powder is invisible on the skin (no colour) Transparent Light = Cool, Transparent Medium = Warm.

Rachel uses Rice Perfection Setting Powder in Transparent Light for touch ups


Pressed Mineral Foundation


Available in 9 foundation shades, these pressed mineral makeup silky formulation offers a superb coverage with a matte finish, as well as portability for convenience of travel. Shades will apply lighter or darker then loose versions, depending on application method (brush or sponge). If sponging on, you may need to choose one shade lighter than you wear in the loose version.


Comparing the quality of the minerals with other brands, true minerals in pressed powder form should maintain its consistency until the pan is empty. If black flecks are visible, it means that the minerals were not micronized properly. Also, any true mineral makeup should reflect light, and the colour appears as if it comes from within. Your makeup will not look flat, chalky or grey. It looks translucent and almost glowing!



Protection Primer

Minimize pores and fine lines with this translucent primer or setting powder. Infused with a rich blend of herbs and precious plant oils to restore, firm, hydrate and revitalize the skin. Protects skin from environmental pollutants & harmful UVA/UVB rays. Simply dust a layer on bare skin, over your moisturizer or use as a finishing powder after your makeup application for added sun protection. Ideal for women and men. (all skin types)


Mineral Enhancers (Multi Tasking – Pick Me Uppers!)


These luminous loose powders have ultra fine particles of shimmers (mica) to deflect light and illuminate the skin, helping to create the look of naturally radiant skin. The fine shimmer is not overly glittery making it perfect for day or night with a luminous finish that’s subtle rather than shiny or greasy. GO CRAZY WITH THESE POWDERS; THEY LOOK FABULOUS ANYWHERE YOU PUT THEM!

  • Illusion: Can be mixed, worn over, or under minerals to enhance complexion and add the natural radiance of a soft, luminous glow to your skin.
  • Diamond: A golden-beige shade that can be used as an eye shadow base, face and eye highlighter, concealer or mixer. Mix Illusion with other mineral colours to lighten.


Rachel uses enhancers for special occasions


Pure Cover Natural Concealers

Balance

Revive

To help conceal & correct problem areas. These beautiful, creamy concealers are mineral based and infused with naturally powerful anti-oxidant oils. Great on its own or under foundation, this ultra-smooth formula blends beautifully. Covers imperfections, as well as discoloration and pigmentation marks. Gives high coverage and lasts all day long. Use prior to makeup application to conceal imperfections and under eye circles.

Application – Apply with brush for light to medium coverage or sponge for heavier coverage. Best coverage is achieved by applying a little to an area and leave unblended for a minute. Then soften and blend with a concealer brush, rather than blending immediately.


  • Balance – soft golden shade (light to medium skin tones)
  • Revive – soft apricot shade ( medium to dark skin tones)

Rachel uses Pure Cover in Balance  for dark eye circles


Flawless BB Cream

This blemish balm is a special formula that repairs the epithelial cells of the region and is effective for anti-inflammatory action, relief, moisturization and pigment prevention.

Containing water and volcanic ash (Patented), Ecklonia Cava Extract, and Chrysanthemum Morifolium Flower Extract, it restores the moisture level of the skin, protects it, brightens your complexion, and provides a natural looking coverage to your skin. In addition, its ultra-fine scoria powder helps with sebum regulation and thus keeps the skin supple and free of grease all day long.


Rachel applies Flawless BB cream before her everyday makeup




Last but not least, Rachel K’s products are incredibly easy to blend and are not soluble in water, which means you can swim or perspire without reapplying. In addition to this, you can rest assured that Rachel K mineral makeup is completely vegan and cruelty free. :)

The final day was good fun! Congratulations to Stefania for winning the crown. She’s beautiful, humble, nice and she deserves it. No asian sensation for Miss Universe this year!
