Adorned with Grace

If you want something a little more intuitive than contouring (where you have to figure out the best “map” for your unique face shape🤔) AND you don’t necessarily want to change your already beautiful face, I like to simply use bronzer and highlighter to add a bit of dimension back.

This is especially helpful when you apply a heavier coverage mineral foundation, particularly one with a very matte finish. (This isn’t the ‘90s 😜.) Fuller coverage can sometimes flatten out the natural shadows and highlights of your face, so adding them back strategically helps your skin look more dimensional without looking overly sculpted.

You can use this technique on its own or along with your regular makeup routine to bring a little more natural life back into your complexion.

This is probably one of my favorite colorful makeup looks ever!😍💙

I used my favorite mineral eyeshadow, Tranquil, a rich metallic teal blue 🦋 Like the makeup tutorial itself, this shade was inspired by a look from Taylor Chang-Babaian’s book, Asian Faces.

I never thought I would love a blue smoky eye on myself, but I’m still loving this look 18 years after seeing it for the first time.

One of the questions I hear most often from potential customers is, “Will mineral makeup last on my oily skin?”🧐

The answer is yes, with the right products and techniques!😀

As with most things makeup related, it starts with proper skin prep and choosing ingredients that help control excess oil.

The key is to prime your skin with the right products, such as a mattifying primer and powders with oil absorbing properties. How you apply them matters too. I use the “taco method” to distribute the powder evenly on the puff, followed by the “sandwich method,” where the mineral foundation is layered between two applications of powder.

(Is anyone else getting hungry? 😜🤣🌮🥪)

The challenge when wearing purple eyeshadow is that it can sometimes look bruised. 😬

adorned with Grace carries several purple-toned eyeshadows, but this technique will work with any brand. Because we prefer those understated yet elegant looks, we’d love to show you how to apply this pop of color while keeping the overall look natural without overpowering your face.👁️💜🌟

This look is loosely inspired by the makeup book Asian Faces by Taylor Chang-Babaian called “Bejeweled.”👑

Foundation matching, especially with mineral foundations, can be especially confusing! Many women go about it in a haphazard way, sometimes just going by intuition or a suggestion from a friend or a salesperson who may or may not know what they’re doing…🧐

There are a few basic principles to finding your ideal foundation match, and it starts with figuring out your undertone (which is the hardest part for most people) and then determining your depth (from fair to deep). In this YouTube tutorial, I go into each step in detail and share additional tips to help you narrow down your best match and find your holy grail foundation shade.😊🏆🌟

Starting a YouTube channel wasn’t easy. I’ve always been naturally shy, socially, but ESPECIALLY on camera. I was the girl who preferred to take the pictures or would quietly disappear anytime I saw someone pull out a camera. 📸🫣

And like most women, I hated being seen without my makeup, a mask of sorts. So when I felt impressed to start a YouTube channel for my mineral makeup company, adorned with Grace, it brought together some of my biggest “I would never do that” moments. While I do put on makeup later, I always start off with me looking (what I wrongly thought) was my “worst.” 👹

It’s crazy how God works, isn’t it? Sometimes the things we resist most are the very things we need to overcome and learn from. Whether it’s a physical mask we wear through makeup, or a mask we wear in a symbolic sense, never be afraid to show what’s underneath…

…and now, through my song “Unmasked,” I feel encouraged to challenge you to do the same:

“Hey you in the mirror
I see that mask you’ve been wearing
Don’t you think it’s time to tear it off
So we can see who you really are?”

Yes, I know the bright pink on my eyes looks a little scary—even for me! 😄

I tend to stick with neutral-toned eyeshadow, but this look caught my eye in Taylor Chang-Babaian’s makeup book Asian Faces. To recreate it, I got a little creative by combining a cool-toned blush with a rosy brown eyeshadow, and I must say… I was pleasantly surprised with the results! 💗

You’ll have to head over to YouTube to see the finished look! 👀📺

If you wear mineral makeup, you may think regular cleanser and water are all you need to remove it, but…

There is an ideal way to properly remove your makeup to help ensure both your makeup and your skin always look their best. Skin prep and application are important, but proper removal also plays a role!
