Hi guys!

Sorry for being MIA, but I'm so terribly busy these days... I know I must have published this post last week but... better late then never, right?

What company says: 

Heidi Yi Mineral Blushes - Mineral Blush is excellent for wedding makeup or everyday wear. It is ideal for sensitive or erupted skin. It has a soft and silky light texture with a flawless finish.

Heidi Yi Blush or Bronzer Brush - Flat brush used for dusting mineral bronzer or blush. (Info from Heidi Yi brochure)

Directions: Use the Heidi Yi Blush or Bronzer Brush to gather your colour from the lid and tap off the extra. Then use light, feathery strokes from the apple of your cheek back towards your hairline. Depending on desired look a light or heavy application can be used, start lightly and gradually build up colour. If you are unhappy with application, it’s as easy as using your foundation kabuki brush to erase any mistakes! (Info from HeidiYi.com)

My experience: Heidi Yi Mineral Blushes come in plastic sifter jars with silver toned lids with white Heidi Yi logo on the top as other Heidi Yi products do.

There's a label with the name of the color and the full list of ingredients at the bottom of each jar.

Available colors of Heidi Yi Mineral Blushes are: BL1 - Frosted Berry, BL2 - Frosted Plum, BL 3 - Matt Apricot. These blushes are very pigmented and have a great texture. Frosted Berry is great for everyday wear, it is a soft pink color with frost. Frosted Plum is great for special occasions such as a wedding, it is a deep plum color with lots of frost. It's my fave blush at the moment, it looks great on tanned skin and the frost in this blush adds gorgeous highlights to the cheeks. Matt Apricot is an excellent choice for mature skin or when you are in the mood for matte blush. This is a soft apricot color without frost.

All the colors are very easy to work with. They are buildable in layers and very blendable. You only need a tiny bit of the product because they are so pigmented. I think 0.18 oz. / 5 g  jar of Heidi Yi Mineral Blush will last you like forever!

You may (or may not) remember I have already reviewed Heidi Yi Blush Or Bronzer Brush. 

 Heidi Yi Blush or Bronzer Brush 

I have told you about benefits of using this brush for applying bronzers but it also work great with blushes. This brush has a flat top and thereby it doesn't cause as much fly away of the product as dome shaped blush brushes do. Heidi Yi Blush or Bronzer Brush covers bigger area at a time then other blush brushes I have used and it provides more color in the middle of that area and less color at the edges and this wonderful effect reduces the time one needs for blending. All I need to do after applying blush with Heidi Yi Blush or Bronzer Brush is to lightly touch that area with kabuki brush to make sure everything is blended well for seamless and natural looking coverage and that's it!

And here is a couple of FOTDs featuring Heidi Yi Mineral Blushes applied with the Blush or Bronzer Brush. The first one is created for my mother-in-law's prom night. Oh, she's not a student, she's a lecturer at a University! In this pic she's wearing Heidi Yi Mineral Blush in Matt Apricot. You can see drops of water on her face - I took this photo right after the moment she wiped her face with an ice cube (this is her tip for setting makeup and make it last for hours) and before she stepped out the door where a taxi was already waiting for her.

Another FOTD was created as a trial makeup for Nastya's prom night (and yes, she is... or more precisely, was a student, LOL). She's wearing Heidi Yi Mineral Blush in Frosted Plum on her cheeks and lips. For lip color, I mixed a lipbalm (any will work except those very solid wax based ones) with the blush using a lip brush.
