This is just a little video tutorial on some Mineral Makeup 101 – How to apply mineral eye shadow with the dab/pat methods. There are many other methods, including foiling, using Pixie Epoxy (my personal favorite), or other mixing mediums as well as using bases like Paint Pots or Shade Sticks.
I showcase ecoTools brushes because I own about 40 of them, they’re easily accessible to most people, and I think they’re really good quality. You can buy several good sets from Amazon.com:
Alicia Silverstone set
6 Piece Eye Brush set
And you can also find them at Target, Walgreens, Walmart and other stores.

Please let me know what you think of this video, as I did very minimal editing with it and left in a lot of how I blend with these types of shadows.

Hello Cotton
Wow great video! Do you have one or are you planning on doing a tutorial about applying mineral foundation and blush? I have purchased some recently and just have the worst time with it flying everywhere, so I actually apply it with a sponge hehe. So I would loooove one similar to this eye shadow tutorial. Thanks!
I’ve done one in the past, but I will probably do a new one
Again, the whole dip the kabuki in the powder and tap off the excess (much like with the eye shadow) really helps with mineral makeup. I haven’t tried a sponge but I bet it works well, too.
that inner corner color is just amazing!

Thanks Nina
Loved it!
Aww thank you Cin! *hug*
Thanks for the video… just worked out where I was going wrong with my fallout … I don’t tap the brush ! It’s such a silly thing but I am sure it will make a real difference !

Hi Phyrra!
Loved your tutorial!
I always wondered how to pack up the shimmer shadows!
I was wondering if you could make a vid or txt 101 on the must have make up brushes and their functions. Or maybe just an eye brushes post
Just a suggestion anyways!

I can certainly try
Very nice, Phyrra! It really helps to see how you do it. I have a question: Did you use Pixie Epoxy in this look? About how often do you use Pixie Epoxy in your everyday looks?
Hi Darcey!
No, I didn’t use Pixie Epoxy in this look.
I list Pixie Epoxy when I use it in a look
It really depends on how often I use it. Some weeks I’ll use it nearly every day, and other weeks only once a week. I primarily use it when I want brighter/sparkly looks
Great video, and a really pretty look! I’m going to have to try Overall Beauty. Thanks!
Thanks Kathy!
