I am guessing <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">skincare is something most of us use religiously and most likely to use it up. Am I right here?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">You could make your products fresh  every time based on how much you need and keep the unused minerals dry so they last longer and save you money on a longer run. Here are some videos that I found on youtube that will help you make your own face \/ eye primers, tinted moisturizer, concealer and foundation using your favorite skincare products.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Eyeshadow Primer<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jP9mrObulvQ\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u00a0You could substitute the Laura Mercier foundation with dry minerals and mix it up with creamy shea butter or your favorite body butter and it will work just as well. You could also add Aloe to it. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&#038;v=D2OZdFqiwPA\">here<\/a> to see another video with aloe used as an additional ingredient. I have read that adding aloe makes it work better and I am not  sure why. I have tried this recipe with mineral powder and Alaffia antioxidant shea  butter (body one) and it works great. You could also use the same recipe to make your face primer by tweaking the same ingredients until you get the results you want.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><b><br \/><\/b><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Mineral Foundation, Concealer and Tinted Moisturizer.<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"345\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UtIE_7qW-L4\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">Don&#8217;t you think this is so versatile and fun to make?\u00a0 Minerals  are so versatile. You could use them as a light dusting of powder on  hotter summer days or mix  it up with your favorite moisturizer, shea  butter or body butter to make your own  tinted moisturizer,  concealer and foundation like you see in  the above video.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\"> You  could also use toners, rose water or aloe as a substitute for a  moisturizer and it still works very well. Play with it and see how it goes. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">You  could also add your favorite essential oils to it such as tea tree or lavender to the mix. It&#8217;s better to test all the ingredients to make sure you are not allergic to any of them before you start mixing it all up.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">Interesting thing is you could also make your own lip gloss, eye liner and nail colors with loose colored mineral pigments. Use your favorite non-tinted lip balm (lightly melted), nail top coat and aloe gel\u00a0 with the <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">color pigments to turn them into a tinted lip balm, nail color or eye liner of your choice. There are tons of videos on youtube if you need instructions on how to make these. <\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">When it comes to minerals, there are tons of brands in the market to choose from.
