Review: Naked Cosmetics

"Naked cosmetics are the purest, most natural make-up that exist. Made of 100% oxidized mica Naked cosmetics do NOT contain talc, oil, wax, or other filler that can be harmful to you skin. It is 100% color to give you a pure product that is non allergenic, non perishable, and simply beautiful. If it's not naked...it's not natural..."

I couldn't decide if I should blog or vlog on this product. I started a video and I felt there was too much information and the video was going to be way to long. So here are my thoughts on Naked cosmetics loose powder....

I went to IMATS on Saturday April 9, 2011 here in NY. I had a great time BTW. I went to the Naked Cosmetics counter and was instantly attracted to the beautiful bright colors of the loose powder. The makeup artist showed me the various things the loose powder can do.

For instance the powder can be used as:

Eye shadow - apply right to eye lid, or dip your brush in water to intensify the color, or blend it with  eye primer for a matte finish

 Eyeliner - dip a wet angled brush into the powder and apply to you lash line

Starting from the left side -  powder applied over a cream shadow, dry, wet

Blush - mix with a face primer or apply it directly to your face with you finger or brush and blend well


I mixed these with Too Faced face primer



Lipstick - mix with a clear gloss, or neutral lipstick







I mixed these with Naked clear lip base



Bronzer - use a white lotion and desired loose powder color

Temporary hair highlights - apply the powder to hair with a brush, set with hairspray

Nail polish - with a clear base polish dip it into the powder and apply it to nail

At IMATS they were selling them a box of (6) 1.8g/.06oz containers for $30.00 or 2 boxes of 6 containers for $50.00. I bought 2 boxes (I got a discount because I purchased them at IMATS). One boxes is called Ebony  http://www.milazzobeauty.com/product/ebony-collection which is more dark colors, blue, green,black. The second box I purchased is called Blushing Bronze,  http://www.milazzobeauty.com/product/blushing-bronze these are more pink and brown colors. I also bought the clear lip gloss http://www.milazzobeauty.com/product/clear-lip-gloss .  The dark colors I figured I would use on my eyes as shadows and eyeliners. The pink colors I will use more for lipstick and blush.

Here are the Pros and Cons:
Pros
Multiple uses of the product
Amazing intense colors
All natural
Non allergenic

Cons
Can get messy using loose powder
Comes off easily, staying power is not good at all when apply directly to skin
Time consuming
Expensive

Would I recommend this product?
Not if you are the kind of person who likes to get ready one, two, three. Or can't be bother with mixing and messes. The average person would find this product to be a nuance.

On the other hand, if you like working off a palette, mixing and creating different colors you might like experimenting with this product.

I'm a little upset with how easily the powder comes off. Especially when you consider the price of the product.

Although, I'm still having fun with the product and I know I will get the most use out of it using it as a lipstick, blush, and color eyeliner.

My recommendation if you are interested in getting Naked cosmetics loose powder is buy only a few containers, not 12 like I did. Buy the colors you know you can work into your everyday routine. Then get one color that is dramatic, for when you feel like spicing things up.

Here is the link to the Naked cosmetics website http://www.nakedcosmetics.net/. Note: when you click the link and click products you will most likely be brought to this website http://www.milazzobeauty.com/ . They state "We are a premiere wholesale distributor of Naked Cosmetics and other Professional Beauty Products. "

Thank you for reading and I hope you find this information helpful. Bye everyone.
