Mineral makeup was first created during the 1970s when trends began moving toward natural products. Mineral makeup is now one of the most popular forms of makeup since it is free of chemicals, dyes and preservatives and is thought to benefit the skin. These few simple tips show you how to use your mineral makeup to line the undereye area.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Dark mineral eye shadow
  • Light mineral eye shadow
  • Angled shadow brush
  1. Step 1

    Keep your look soft, since natural mineral makeup is all about a clean, natural look on your skin. Instead of selecting heavy pencil or liquid eyeliners, select a nice eye shadow color that can function just as well while creating a much softer look.

  2. Step 2

    Dampen an angled shadow brush slightly and then work the tips of the bristles into the edge of your powder palate. The dampness will help your shadow go on easily like traditional liner; however, make sure you dampen your palette only near the edges of the container, since it can harden your mineral powders. Keeping a specific section just for this purpose will ensure a long life for your beauty products.

  3. Step 3

    Test the color and texture of the damp powder on the back of your hand, adding more makeup or water as needed. Begin applying your eyeliner shadow at the outer corner of the eye, working just below the lash line. Blend the powder well to give you a nice, natural look.

  4. Step 4

    Top off your eyeliner by adding a little light to your eyes, which will help to define the shape and color of your eyes. Apply a light-colored mineral shadow to a damp angled brush and apply to the inside corner, working in toward your darker shadow and then blending.
