June 8th, 2010 admin Posted in Beauty 101, Mineral Makeup, General, New No Comments »

This might be my favorite collection we’ve created yet.  We’ve kept things vegan and used only high quality, highly pigmented minerals and mica (as usual!) to create these 12 fantastic shades.

Goddess Collection

Each color in our Goddess Collection has a unique sheen.  It’s a bit shimmery and a bit pearly, it’s Goddess-like!  You have to try them to see what we mean, pictures do not capture the true beauty of these colors!  They are available at The StarShine Company online at a special price, right now!

Top Three Picks you MUST try:

Kerry Washington - Get the Look!

June 6th, 2010 admin Posted in Beauty 101, Mineral Makeup No Comments »

Purple is such a lovely color and a color that can be worn all year around for an evening or a daytime look.  A deep purple shade is lovely with any eye color but especially a rich, dark brown eyes like Kerry Washington’s.  Read what InStyle had to say about Kerry’s purple shadow:

Kerry Washington
Violet Eye Shadow
If you have a rich, warm skintone like Kerry Washington’s, a violet shadow may be more neutral and wearable than you think. At the premiere of Mother and Child in Los Angeles, her amethyst hue, worn just above the crease, was both subtle and striking. Apply sparingly, and choose a shade with a hint of shimmer to really work the look.  (From InStyle)


Want the look?  Try our Purple Rain from our 80’s Collection of Mineral Eye Shadow line.  An affordable way to look like a million bucks!  Be sure to visit The StarShine Company online for other great Eye Shadow shades that are not only vegan but great for your skin!

Beauty Tip #2 - Brighter, Wider Eyes

May 21st, 2010 admin Posted in Beauty 101, Mineral Makeup No Comments »

Have you always wanted to make your eyes look brighter or wider?  One great way is to apply a thin coat of your favorite mascara to both your upper and lower lashes.  And for a brighter, wider evening look, let the first coat dry before adding a second coat focusing the mascara mainly on the base of the lashes.  Oh, and don’t forget to use an eyelash curler before applying your mascara, this will pull the lashes up and away from your eyes opening them up!

Additionally, using lighter color shadows will help keep those eyes looking bright.  Darker shades can cause shadows which will have the opposite effect.  Colors that have a pearly sheen or a delicate shimmer will also help deflect darkness ensuring a nice bright eye!

Be sure to check out our line of Pastel Mineral Eyeshadows, which are perfect for creating a brighter, wider appearance.  Our Pastel Collection comes in 12 great springtime pastels!  You’ll want them all!

Tantalizing Orange - Get the Look!

May 17th, 2010 admin Posted in Beauty 101, Mineral Makeup, New No Comments »

There is something about spring that encourages women to wear brighter, fresher colors such as orange.  We love Hilary Duff’s look featured on InStyle online.  And you can achieve a similar look without breaking the bank.  What could be even better?  Our “Amplify” lip colors are made from pure minerals (no junk, no fillers) and lip friendly ingredients such as Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter.  Read what InStyle had to say about Hilary’s look:

Hilary Duff
Orangey Lips
“My concept was to give Hilary Duff a simple and current look to complement her sheer gray and black dress,” said her makeup artist, Brigitte Reiss-Andersen. She kept the face and eyes neutral, and added intensity by reaching for an orange lip color. If you want to try a similar look, keep the shade modern by blending creamy, nectarine lipstick with a swipe of tinted gloss.  (From InStyle)

Want the look?  Try our Amplify Orange Blossom Mineral Lip Color and top it off with your favorite clear gloss or a slightly tinted gloss.  Afraid you can’t pull-off orange?  Give it a try, we think you’ll be surprised!

Beauty Tip #1

May 14th, 2010 admin Posted in Beauty 101, Mineral Makeup, New No Comments »

This is a killer tip we read about on InStyle.   We love it so much we just had to share it!

Heidi Klum

Want to replicate Heidi Klum’s shimmery, sun-drenched look from the Eva by Eva Longoria fragrance launch in Hollywood, but afraid of looking too soaked? In the palm of your hand, add a pinch of pearlescent powder to your daily moisturizer. Apply as usual for healthy looking skin with a subtle incandescence.  (From Instyle)


We KNOW you want this look!  Such a great summer look, perfect for at the beach or pool!  And of course we have the perfect shimmery pearly mineral powder to help you achieve this dewy look.  Add a pinch of our Eggshell Mineral Eyeshadow to your preferred daily moisturizer.  Eggshell is part of our Pastel Collection which was formulated with spring colors in mind and each color in the collection has the perfect pearly-ness you are looking for to achieve Hiedi Klum’s look.  Don’t use too much though, adding too much can whiten your complexion, to avoid this problem, use a tinted daily moisturizer for maximum results.
