Mahya's Eye Primer

Mahya Mineral Makeup's Eye Primer

Why ours? The question should be why not since our newly innovative design has created a rave at each event we attend and where sold worldwide! Typically eye primers are nothing more but a hassle. People spend money on products at the drugstore and mall that are over priced when all they need is just a great eye primer from Mahya Cosmetics.

Our eye primer truely is remarkable! In its' modern packaging, this primer really enhances your eyeshadow and makes the mineral eyeshadow even more vibrant. This is just one of its' wonders, some more amazing things this can do are: smooth out your eye base and keep it feeling fresh, not dried out or too oily, because it enhances the vibrant colors in your eyeshadow that means you use less of your eyeshadow for the complete look so it saves you money in the long run, and last but not least Mahya's Eye Primer offers long lasting beautiful eyes (seriously so don't where this if your going out and thinking of going straight to church this next day).

How can a product like this do all these great things without some kind of scientific potion and chemicals? Easy...it was made by the Mahya MINERAL Makeup Company! We do not add any unnecessary products into the eye primer. The only ingredients it contains are: Crosspolymer, Cycopentasiloxane, Octyl Palmitate, Syncrowax, Iron Oxide, Castor Oil, and Liquapar oil. Many other companies such as Mary Kay, Urban Decay, Paula Dorf, etc....add too many harmful chemicals to their eye primer like Talc, Paraben, and more. Not to discourage you from those companies by any means but to only release the facts that we research and bring to your attention before you think a small trip to the store is easier than caring for your beauty.

It's never too late to start wearing mineral makeup, especially a great eye primer created by the same people who bring you 100% crushed mineral eyeshadows, foundations, blushes, and much more!

Mahya's Favorite Fruits of Beauty

Mahya’s Favorite Fruits of Beauty

Mahya’s #1 Fruit: Apples!

Come on ladies! Apples are not just for great fruit salads or items to throw at your men….they also serve great purpose when it comes to beauty. An apple can really make your hair shine and give it great beauty when used as a conditioner. Not only that but when used as a toner, it cleanses the face from oil excess dirt and oil without the harsh smell that most toners have. This beauty tip is not new but has been known to man for centuries now. With all the skin products out there and science, it’s hard to just keep beauty simple but with Mahya Cosmetics you can easily inhabit great all natural beauty products or at least read our blog on how to use fruit too! A couple more tips that come from apples are: breathe freshener (apple juice), (apple juice) when applied to your scalp can prevent dandruff, and apples are filled with pectin - essential for fighting the dreaded acne!

Mahya’s #2 Fruit: Lemons!

So sour and yummy to us all, lemons is most common sense to be used as a beauty treatment. Most people already know they can use lemons to cleanse and freshen the skin and hair, and to use lemon slices to soften rough skin spots such as elbows and heels. What you may not know is that by putting lemon slices and mix a few teaspoons of lemon juice in your bath, it helps deodorize and you will feel fresh the whole day. Also know that like apple juice, lemon juice can be added to your favorite cleanser or shampoo to refresh and tone your scalp, along by preventing dandruff. What some blondes have done before is use lemon for naturally bleaching their hair. Lemons can help to fade out dark spots and acne scars too!

Mahya’s #3 Fruit: Bananas!

Oh yes! Finally, a fruit that is neither sour nor hard to eat, the banana! Like other fruits listed, this one is great for skin and hair. They are rich in protein, obtain natural fats, and can be used on all skin types. An easy facemask that will make your skin soft and fresh is mashed banana that you can apply all over your skin and leave it on for 20 minutes, rinse off with warm water and moisturize after that. Try not to eat it right away ladies! Although, mashed banana also makes a wonderful hair conditioner (when mixed with a 1 tablespoon of honey), I don’t think many women are brave enough to put honey in their hair. This beautiful yellow fruit we call bananas servers a great purpose in keeping hair beautiful, even if dyed regularly.

Celebrity Inspired Look: Marilyn Monroe

An icon of many…this beautiful lady represents a glamorous era in time when she was living life to the fullest. Known for her signature style and makeup, we take this time to share with you how to create this stunning appearance by using 100% crushed minerals by Mahya!

First she was very fair, so in this day in age she more than likely would have been the color Natural in Mahya Cosmetic foundation shades.

She would generally use more brown tones for her cheeks than pink which we now call bronzer. A great bronzer that we have close to what she used is Heavenly or Caramel.

Then for her complexion we would definitely recommend Mineral Veil #1. This goes on last over all of the face with a kabuki brush. The kabuki brush we love to use most is the Flat Synthetic Kabuki.

Although she had platinum blonde hair, her eyebrows were filled in with a brown shade. In Mahya Cosmetics, the closest color we have to what she used is Dirty Blonde. It used by many customers who have very blonde hair or darker hair that like medium brown eyebrows. To accomplish this we always recommend our Angle Brow brush.

She never had dramatic eye shadow since she would have bold lips so for her look we suggest using a 3 step combo. First apply Eye Primer of course, then to the lids apply Nude, to the crease of your eyes apply Nifty for shine or a bit of Dirty Blonde to just give your eyes depth without shine such as Marilyn Monroe. It is best to use a Deluxe Round Crease Brush for this step. Then use Satin for the highlighting color just below the eyebrows. It is one of our matte colors however; it offers natural shine once applied. If you feel Satin is to white toned, you can also use Fairy Tale which is not matte but less white.

Now remember, she always had that perfect thin winged black eyeliner. We would suggest using Gothic which is our matte black and our Angle Taklon Eyeliner Brush. Just tap little by little across the upper lashline from the inner corner of your eyes out. To wing the eyeliner, slightly angle the brush upwards and the end will be thicker than the inner eye area. It takes practice if you’re new to eyeliner but with the Angle Taklon Eyeliner Brush, it makes it so much easier. It basically does the work for you.

Now to finish the eye look, apply Mahya’s Mascara in black to the upper and bottom lashes. If you have straight lashes, be sure to curl them before applying mascara.

Now you are ready to create fierce and sexy lips! First apply Ruby Red lipstick and top it off with Show Girl lip gloss. These are bold colors to match this look.

If you really want to recreate this look, you can even add her famous mole to the right side of your face just to the side of your nose and above your lips. Use the same color you did for you eyebrows and with the Angle Taklon Brush you used for eyeliner. The tip of the brush makes a perfect point if you wet the color as if eyeliner and apply.

You are ready to hit the red carpet or a costume party as a replica of the super glamorous Marilyn Monroe. Keep up with our blog’s to learn more about makeup history, looks of the season, and much more makeup gossip.

Makeup History: Behind the Beauty of a Geisha

Makeup History: Behind the Beauty of a Geisha


The beautiful Geisha women are from the ‘Edo’ era dated to about 400 years ago in Japan. The name Geisha means a person who entertains or performs. They were trained from young girls and how to cater to the audience’s needs through their beauty, music, and talented dancing routines. Geisha’s were very educated so that when those from the west came, most could carry out a very intellectual conversation with them in English.

In becoming a Geisha, it takes five to six years and requires difficult training. Because of modern society amenities and changes, the number in those willing to become Geisha’s have decreased.

The process in becoming a Geisha, if accepted, would require a young girl to go through an apprenticeship that involves living with a head Geisha. During this time, the trainee must help with the chores of the house, learn customs and social skills, and take music and dance lessons. After about six months, the trainee Geisha is called a maiko girl, and accompanies a Geisha on her appointments in order to become acquainted with customers. At about age 20, the maiko must make the decision to become a full Geisha or not. If a girl wishes to marry she cannot become a Geisha.

Today in Japanese hotels and restaurants Geisha entertain at banquets and socialize with guests. The costs for the services of a Geisha vary depending on the number the food, beverages, and the entertainment. The role of the Geisha in Japanese society is a source of much curiosity for tourists. To tap into that curiosity, visitors can go to shops where they can dress in traditional Geisha Kimonos, have Geisha make up applied and then have a souvenir photo taken.

The traditional attire of Geisha women would consist of wooden shoes, kimonos, and the perfect makeup look. The colors they applied for makeup that they were highly known for was the white painted face, the slick black linings on their eyebrows and eyes, and the bold red lips. They occasionally had pink cheeks and eye shadows as well. If wanting to replicate their desired look, you may easily do so by using Mahya Cosmetics. The colors we have similar to those they use are: “Swan Lake” (for the white), “Gothic” (matte black), and “Moulin Rouge” (for the red lips).

Keep updated with our daily blog as we continue to post many interesting facts about makeup, beauty, and more. This is just one of our special editions for our Makeup History Collection. Send us what looks you have created with our products and get a chance to show your talent on our website.

GOLD! GLITTER! GLAMOROUS!

Tired of the typical french nail? Of course, it is nice but now you can expand the normal look to an amazing and flashy look for the New Years! Many glitters that Mahya Mineral Makeup offers range from multicolored ones like "Jewell", "Queen", and "Twilight" to bright bold and beautiful glitters such as "Carmine", "Emerald", and "Gem". All of these wonderful glitters and more can be found on the Pink By Mahya page at http://www.mahyamineralmakeup.com/!

The one we would like to use for example today is "Topaz". It is truely an eye catcher and highly requested for online and at our events. It makes the job look hard however, it's actually a one-two step process.

Be sure that your nails are nicely manicured of course. You will need any clear nail polish or of course by using Mahya's Wild & Crazy clear nail polish and the mineral color of your choice, which in this case is "Topaz".

First dip the nail polish brush into the "Topaz" glitter container. Then simply brush it on to the nail base. Then you may dip the nail polish brush back into the nail polish container. All the product will fall to the bottom of the clear nail polish container so that it remains clear for future uses.

Once you have completed this simple step to all the nails. You may add a top clear coat to all the nails to set the look. Again, this was very easy and fun to do with "Topaz" but there are endless possibilities when using Mahya's Glitters!

How to Easily Apply False Eyelashes

How to Easily Apply False Eyelashes

Keeping it natural doesn’t mean you can’t experiment and have fun with makeup! False eyelashes have a reputation of being very noticeable however, if applied properly; no one can tell if they are real or not. Some women prefer their false lashes to appear fake for a more dramatic look by wearing over the top designer style lashes which is great however; most women prefer the natural look. To accomplish this, follow the simple steps below. Warning: Once you see the difference, you may become addicted!

Step 1: Choose the lashes!
Mahya offers a great variety of lashes to choose from at her store in Dallas and at the events she attends through out the nation. If you are not local or able to visit, you can always find inexpensive lashes at your local drugstore, Wal-Mart, etc. Choose lashes that are not too much longer than your own lashes, especially if you have very little room from your eyelid to your eyebrow. Lashes that are not equally cut across appear more natural. For example, our eyelashes are never all the exact same length so your fake lashes shouldn’t be either to appear more natural. Also, choose them depending on thickness as well. False eyelashes that are similar to your natural thickness in lashes are most desired.

Step 2: Glue!
Now that you have the lashes, pick the glue. Most eyelashes come with their own glue however; those glues typically do not work out too well. With time the glue weakens and therefore lashes do not hold all day. The glue to recommend would be DUO Glue in White to Clear. They sell this at the same locations they sell eye lashes. This glue does not have a bad smell and do very well in bad weather conditions. It goes on white but with a couple of minutes it turns clear and goes unnoticed which is what you want.

Step 3: Applying…
Now you have the tools to apply. First apply a bit of mascara to your natural eyelashes. This will help the false lashes stick to your lashes better. Then take one of the false lashes out from package and apply the glue to the lining of the lashes. While you let glue lightly dry before applying, also bend the lashes so they fit to your eyelids better. Then before glue dries completely, apply them to the correct eye slowly. You will know which eye it goes to by the length in the lashes. The smaller side of the lashes would look more natural when placed in the inner corner of eyes and the longer side goes on the outer side of eyes. When applying be sure to place them in the center of your lashline and as close to your lashline as possible but not on your lashes. Start by pressing the center of the lashes so they glue first then the outside of lashes and finally the inner lashes. Try not blinking too much before glue is dry. Once they are on, do the other side. Now that you have both lashes on, apply Mahya Mascara to the root of your natural upper lashes and do not take the mascara all the way up to the end of the false lashes. This will help blend the false lashes to your natural eyelashes.

Step 4: Line
It always helps the look to apply eyeliner at the false eyelash line on your eye lids. Apply thin or thick, just as long as it covers the false line. This helps put the finished look into better perspective and really makes it appear natural!

Now you are ready to show others how fierce you can be just with one look and they don't even realize you just learned how to apply false eyelashes!
