Monave Mineral Blush Review, Swatches

Monave Mineral Blush Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: From dusty rose to deep mauve, our blushes will brighten up your cheeks in a soft, natural way. Monave blushes are made from a silky, sheer formula that’s easily blendable and long-wearing. These are pure pigment and can be used on the nails and lips as well.

These blushes are made from pure mica, so while the texture is extraordinarily soft, the color is concentrated. Use just a few crumbs on acotton ball or a blush brush. Make sure to tap all of the excess powder off of the brush, until there is just a faint dusting on the tips of the bristles, then gently glide over the cheeks. Very little blending is needed.

Directions: Loose mineral blushes are very concentrated and should be applied sparingly. The simplest way to apply them is with a cotton ball. Press the cotton ball onto the sifter, then tap the jar so a little bit of blush powder gets on the cotton ball. Then gently glide the color over the apples of the cheek, and blend. If you prefer to use a brush, a fan brush is the best option. A traditional blush brush isn’t recommended, as it picks up too much of the powder.

Ingredients: Mica, iron oxides, titanium dioxide, may contain ultramarine blue, ferric ferrocyanide

Monave Blushes are divided into four categories : Sultry Blush, Pearlescent Blush, Matte Blush and Semi Matte Blush..
I am reviewing the shade 207 from Semi Matte which is Seashell..Its a very light cool toned icy pink shade with silver shimmer..this shade is just perfect as a highlighter for medium to fair skin tones. As described these are super duper pigmented and you need just a little amount. Even using a blush brush is not recommended as it would pick up too much powder..a cotton ball is recommended..I use a fan brush and dab just a little..for those highlighted cheeks !

About Seashell : Get in touch with your inner princess as you cascade this “pretty in pink” shade across your cheeks. Pearlescent blues and slight sparkle compliment this classic pink to add a little Cinderella to your every day.

Pros:

1. It is super duper pigmented…a very very small qty is required to be used.
2. I love the shade and the fact that it can be used both as a blush and highlighter.
3. They have a variety of shades in all possible combinations.
4. Since a very little amount is required this is going to last me ages !
5. Small and handy container.
6. Even though it has shimmer it does not accentuate the pores.
7. Super soft in texture.

Cons:

1. Guessing the shade online is difficult.
2. Availability is an issue. You can buy it here
3. This shade would not suit duskier skin tones.

Overall I am in love with this shade and love using it as a highlighter ! I would surely recommend it for medium to fair skin tones..from NC 30 to 37..or lighter with cool tones..
