Monave Versatile Mineral Powders Review,Swatches

Monave Versatile Mineral Powders Review,Swatches


What the Company claims: Monave loose mineral powders are a blend of pure, oxidized mica, and are versatile and fun. The texture of the powders range from semi-matte (these impart a light sheen) to shimmer, to full sparkle. All of these beautiful loose powders can be used as eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and nail polish (please see directions for how to use them). The red, pink, brown and beige tones can also be mixed into a clear gloss and applied to the lips.

This is an especially enjoyable product for teenagers, who have an innate sense of fun and creativity. Makeup artists will enjoy being able to blend their own shades together to create custom colors.

Directions: Eye Shadow ~ Use any color from the MONAVE collection as eye shadow. Simply dip a MONAVE eyeshadow brush into the desired color and apply to your eyelids. Choose a lighter color as a highlighter to apply under the brow. Use a darker color in the crease as a shader.

Blush ~ Because MONAVE is so pure, the use of a blush brush will only waste your product. Instead, use cotton ball and lightly touch the tip into the desired color. Apply along the cheekbone and blend well.

Eye Liner ~ Dip your MONAVE luxurious liner brush into water then wet applicator into the desired color. Mix the powder and water together on the back of your hand or in a separate container to create a creamy liquid liner. Dip the eyeliner brush into the liquid and carefully apply to the upper and/or lower lids, staying as close to the lashes as possible.

Lip Color ~ Dip your MONAVE retractable lip brush into your clear lip gloss/lip balm and then into the desired color. Apply the mix to your lips and blend well. Add more powder to deepen the color. MONAVE cocoa butter vitamin E stick can also be used.

Nail Polish ~ Because MONAVE contains no dye, you do not need to apply a base coat. Simply use clear nail polish and dip the brush into the desired color and paint onto nails. For a darker color, use more powder. You can also mix MONAVE into colored nail polish to change its tint.

Body Shimmer/Highlighter ~ Use a cotton ball and lightly touch it into the desired color. Dust the powder onto your shoulder, face, chest etc., for a healthy glow. Certain colors can also be used as bronzers.

The shades I have are 88,65,51M which are Antique Brick, Turquoise and Semi Matte Bronze described as:

51m Matte Bronze–Kiss on the sun! A sweep of this medium bronze onto lids, your face, and body gives you an instant outdoorsy glow. Warning: you may get asked if you went somewhere sunny… the Bahamas ?

65 Turquoise: Got the blues? There’s nothing dreary about this chic shade of blue! It’s mesmerizing metallic blue-turquoise is trendy and spirited! Make a bold statement with this brilliant turquoise on nails and lids.

88 Antique Brick: This sweet dusty rose is simply succulent with hints of pale raspberry and juicy watermelon. It’s delicious everywhere!

All the three shades are just awesome..I am so impressed with all the Monave products..they are amazing in quality..super duper pigmented and soft in texture..I have not seen more pigmented eye shadows yet ! In fact versatile pigmented powders yet !

T-B: Antique Brick, Turquoise, Matte Bronze

Semi Matte Bronze is one amazing bronzer, eye shadow, highlighter and looks awesome on the shoulders, neck and all places sun hits when you wearing a nice dress and out in the sun ! This shade gives you the Sun Goddess look…

Turquoise is a duo chromatic metallic blue with blue shimmer…a very unique shade..it can make your eyes pop..but be subtle with the rest of the makeup when wearing this…looks great as a liner too.

Antique Brick is a pinky red with red and silver shimmers..it can be worn lightly for a softer look or layered up for a heavy look..this shade would look great with Indian traditional wear.

Pros:

1. These are super pigmented..you need to just touch the brush to get a color and that too intense..
2. These are so versatile..can be used in so many different ways.
3. They would last real long as you need hardly anything per use.
4. Very Economical.
5. Small and handy..the lids are tight enough and you if want carry it for a long distance you can just tape the holes.
6. These stay for long and do not crease even without a primer.
7. Available in lots of colors.

Cons:

1. Availability. You can buy it here
2. There can be a little fall out when applying..but using loose powder would handle it.

I have no other issues with it…I love these..these are perfect.
