New Younique Products Now Available!

Happy September! With a new month, comes new makeup! Younique has released a bunch of new products today including 3 shades of brow gel, 3 shades of brow pencils, an array of lipsticks, concealer, liquid foundation (in a serum like texture!), 3 pressed eyeshadow palettes, and tweezers. Whew talk about a lot to look forward to!

You can view and also purchase these items through my website, Younique by Jackie. I personally ordered all three eyeshadow palettes today. They look gorgeous! The next items that are on my list to try out are the liquid foundation and the brow pencil in the dark shade.

All these items are the perfect tools to accent those lusciously long lashes that you can create with our Younique 3D Fiber Lash!

Younique Beachfront Bronzers - Sunset & Hermosa

Spring is here and Summer is coming up in a few months. Now is the time to get your glow on! Today I have for your viewing pleasure two of the three brand new Beachfront Bronzers from Younique. They are superb and have very similar texture and finish to a Mac bronzer.

The two colors here are Sunset, a light golden beige tan and Hermosa, a medium gold leaning more bronze brown. Hermosa is the darker of the two. I would suggest Sunset for fair ladies and maybe as a golden highlight on deeper complexions. Hermosa reminds me of Mac's Give Me Sun but with a tiny bit more pink in it than orange. It leaves me with a glow that looks super natural. I think Hermosa will be mostly used in the Summer time when I have a little more color from self tanning. Sunset will be used mostly in the Winter because it's more subtle for when my skin is on the paler side.

These blend like a dream. They do kick up some powder when I swirl my brush in the compact but it doesn't bother me. Both bronzers have shimmer/sparkle to them. They aren't chunks of glitter but more of fine shimmer. Each compact is split into two sections, one (the left side) being the deeper portion and then the right side being lighter and more of a highlighter. Blend together and you have the perfect Summer glow!

Find them here on my site. They retail for $32 each.

Younique Moonstruck Pressed Mineral Blush - Sophisticated

As you have have probably heard either here or online elsewhere, Younique has released their blushes in pressed forms. The colors are bright and definitely statement making!

So far I have the color Sophisticated which is a reddish coral shade with a neon undertone. The formula is matte and has definite staying power. It almost has a "stain" quality which is great for longtime wear but it also washes off at the end of the day with the rest of your makeup. A little goes a long way with this product so it will last forever!

These blushes retail for $29 and can be found here!

Younique Mineral Pigments - The Matte Neutrals

*These are from my presenters kit, the full size product is larger.

Matte is in. For all seasons and occasions matte textures are the perfect way to achieve a beautiful calm, cool, and sophisticated finish. Younique has your back with a collection of 9 matte mineral pigments.

I've swatched each matte pigment below once dry, once over primer, and once wet for your reference. I think the best option for full pigmentation is wet. I used Mac's Fix+ spray on my brush before dipping it into the powders. As you can see some colors are definitely more pigmented than others. For instance Innocent is not very pigmented in any form which makes me say this is a pass. But Provoked, a gorgeous rust shade is pigmented in every form!

What I really love about these pigments is well first, they're matte. Matte pigments aren't very common. Yes Mac does have some and some other high end brands do too. It's not something I would come across very often (if you know of a brand, please let me know!) The second thing I really love is the versatility. They can be soft and sheer or built up to full pigment for a dramatic look. Plus they can be used for contouring and your brows too! Helloooo multitasker!

Interested? Find them here individually and here in sets of 4 of your color choice!

Just an FYI, starting March 1st the price of these sets of 4 will go up from $35 to $45 so now is a great time to snag up a set or two!

Order swatched:
Innocent, Irresistible, Beautiful, Giddy, Provoked, Infatuated, Naive, Risque, & Corrupted

Primed with Mac's Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly.

I used Mac's Fix + to wet my brush for these swatches.

Kylie Jenner Lips the Younique Way!

Obsessing over the "Kylie Jenner lip" look? Get it the Younique way with Younique's Moodstruck Lip Liner in the color Pouty. It's the perfect rosy color to give you an added color boost to any look without going over the top.

These lip liners do not budge! I used only this pencil on my entire lip and it lasted from 8:30am to around 1:00pm. That's two meals and drinking water all day! That's pretty impressive.

But regardless I love this look on anyone's lips, it's natural but also sexy.

Find Pouty here!

90's

Trending: 90's Lips

The 90's have been making their way back into the fashion scene for probably about a year now. One of my favorite things about the 90's was the makeup! I love brown lipstick! The smokey coffee house look is so in, especially for Fall. Check out these two products from Younique that can help you rock that look like no other!

Pouty is a rosy nude with a subtle sheen but dries to a matte budge proof finish. When they say waterproof, they aren't kidding! I love it on its own but it also makes the perfect base for the Lucatrive Glosses.

Lucky is a grey tinged brown gloss. Ultra glossy but not sticky, this gloss is the perfect neutral finish to your look. It can be built up to a deeper brown or worn with a lip balm for a lighter look.
