What can I do if I ordered a color that doesn't
work for me?
It's
true, you can't test the lipstick on before
buying... but that's OK! Our
100% Guarantee
allows you to buy makeup with confidence. If
you're not satisfied with the color, return the
item within 30 days of your purchase and we'll
give you a full refund.
You can try new colors, new formulas, and new
brands risk-free...so go ahead, buy that shade
or product you've never worn before. It may be
exactly what you've been looking for.

I was
wondering if you could please tell me the
difference between the
Mineral Powder and the
Sheer Radiance?
The
Mineral Sheer Radiance
is a very sheer, almost colorless powder
that enhances the complexion to create the
illusion of perfect skin. It features
special light reflectors that minimize
flaws such as minor blemishes, dark circles
and scars. Some prefer to brush this on
over their cover up or foundation (goes
great with the
Mineral Sheer Tint) to
create a flawless look without the heavy
results that most powders create. The great
thing about this product is that, once
applied, you can barely tell that you put
any makeup on, yet your blemishes have
disappeared.
The
Mineral Powder,
while just as light-weight as the Sheer
Radiance, provides colored,
multi-tasking adjustable coverage. The more
you apply, the stronger the
coverage. Application is quick and
simple with a
Kabuki Brush, just
swirl, tap and apply for a clean, fresh look
or apply more to cover any perceived
blemishes. This is a great adjustable
foundation from very sheer to maximum
coverage.

Can
you could give me an idea of what
undertones
or color family the Mineral powder
shades fall under. I'd also like to
know how the shades work as far as the
Sheer Radiance goes.
All of our foundations are designed for a
yellow/orange or red/orange family. We are
working on a guide, so for now,
email us
and we are happy to suggest a shade. Nude,
Blonde, Cream, Sunlit, Toast & Chestnut work
great for yellow/orange undertones, while
Shell, Tender and Sand work well for
red/orange undertones. In the Sheer
Radiance Delicate is neutral and is designed
to work for everyone, Porcelain Pink is
designed for cool complexions (red or
red/blue) and Angel is designed for warm
complexions (yellow/orange or red/orange).

I
was wondering too if you could tell me more
about how the
Mineral Mist works in
regards to using it with the mineral make
ups. I've used other mists that end up
irritating my skin/cause break outs or sting
my eyes if any happens to get in there.
The Mineral Mist is an alcohol-free, no
sting all natural toner to help re-hydrate
and revitalize skin. It supplies vital
mineral and nutrients such as every skin
needs to boost skin circulation for a more
energized look. It also revives your makeup
throughout the day, and keeps you looking
fresh by replenishing that much needed
moisture. It is designed to work under or
over any type of makeup, although not
specifically for use with the mineral
cosmetic line. It goes hand in hand for
those looking for all natural cosmetics
