Anyway, fast forward to my life these days. When I first became interested in sharing Young Living products, my friend Reagan (who is my upline) started telling me about Savvy Minerals Make-Up, and my immediate response was "Oh, I'm never selling make-up!" I didn't have any experience with using makeup, and so felt like the absolute worst candidate for that job. Anyway - things have changed. The stress of moving, and selling my house, and well just CHANGE in general has done a real number on my hormones, and as a result, my skin. It ain't pretty. My cheeks get all red and spotty. Lets not forget the mysterious skin spots that are beginning to appear as I age too. All of these skin things are beginning to make something a little more powerful than concealer almost a necessity. So I order some Savvy Minerals foundation, bronzer and misting spray. Luckily I won a free lipstick a few months back from YL so I've started using that too. What can I say?! I'm loving the flawless complexion look, ALOT!! So much so that now I'm planning to order some Diamond Dust, Blush, and the Savvy makeup brushes. A whole new world has opened up for me, and I'm loving it!! So now regardless of what time of the month it is, I can go out into the world looking my best, thanks to Savvy Minerals.
Lets just go over why I choose Savvy Minerals Makeup - here's what not in our makeup:
Here's what Young Living uses instead:
How to Use Savvy Minerals Step-By-Step:
STEP 1: The first step is cleaning your face. I use the Young Living ART system myself. The ART Renewal Serum and/or ART light moisturizer make a great primer. Our Sheerlume Cream is great if you really dry skin too.
STEP 2: FOUNDATION
The first product in the line is the foundation. It diminishes the appearance of imperfections and blemishes, minimizes pore appearance, brightens complexion and enhances natural beauty. As with all of the Savvy Minerals by Young Living products, they are vegan friendly and never tested on animals.
This is a powder foundation that comes in 10 different shades to accommodate any skin tone. You can also blend multiple foundations together to create your perfect look.
COLOUR MATCHING
Each tone of Savvy Mineral Foundation—Warm, Cool, and Dark—comes in various shades, with No. 1 as the lightest shade. As the number goes up, the shade gets darker. Using your undertone and the shade finder below, select the shade that’s closest to your skin. For your truest tone, look at the skin on your lower cheek, near your jawline.
I find the foundation is pretty forgiving. I can wear a Warm #2 or #3. Now that my tan is gone, I am wearing a #2 or #2 and #3 blended.
Find Your Undertone
The first step to flawless foundation is knowing your undertone. Our Warm colours look best on yellow, peach, and gold undertones; our Cool colours look great on pink or red undertones; and our Dark colours have neutral undertones.
 Not sure which undertone you have? Look at the underside of your forearm to find out. If the veins on your arm have a green tinge, you’re likely warm. If they look bluish, you likely have a cool undertone.
You can also get some hints from the jewelry and clothes you wear. Which metals and colours look great on you? Which make your skin glow? If you reach for silver jewelry and white, black, blue, green, and blue-red clothes, you probably have cool undertones. Tend to favor gold jewelry and ivory, cream, brown, warm reds, and yellows? You likely have warm undertones.
Here's a video on how to Colour Match the Foundation:
Before you use the foundation, let’s first talk about the Misting Spray.
The misting spray was designed by Gary Young as a part of this line to transform the powder foundation into a liquid. To use, simply spray the foundation brush with a bit of the Misting Spray, and allow it to dry for a second. Then pick up some of the powder foundation. Swirl the moistened brush in the lid of the foundation and then tap on finger to release excess. Then apply the foundation to the skin in a gentle swirling motion. Check out this great video on how to apply the foundation.
All the Savvy Minerals by Young Living products go on light so you can apply layers to build the colour that you desire. So simply repeat this process until you have the coverage that you want. Be sure that your brush does not get too wet.
The misting spray smells amazing! It has skin nourishing ingredients such as aloe, and cedarwood, geranium, lavender, rose essential oils.
CONCEALER: When you use the foundation, you might still want to conceal some blemishes and spots on your face. There are two ways you can do this: just dab a concealer brush in some foundation and apply to spot, or mix with a bit of cream and apply.
STEP #3: BRONZER
Now, let’s contour using the bronzer. Grab either the contour brush or the bronzer brush, and apply under the cheeks, under the jaw line, or at the hair line to contour, or gentle use it on the cheeks for a sun kissed look. Be sure to shake of any excess off the brush as you go! There are 2 shades of bronzer to choose from. The lighter is Crowned All Over, and the darker shade is Summer Loved.

STEP #4: BLUSH
Next step is the blush, arguably the most important makeup step there is. This gives cheeks the perfect flush. It is available in 3 different colours. There is I Do Believe You’re Blushing (a neutral pink), Smashing (a cool pink), and Passionate (a dark burnished rose)Again, you can build as much colour as you want; simply repeat the steps above until you like the colour. These can also be used together as some are more sparkly than others.
STEP #5: MINERAL VEIL
The Diamond Dust Veil may be my most favorite out of all the make-up. You don't want to miss out buying this one. I find it really completes the look.
This product is a setting powder for the foundation. Though it looks very white, it’s translucent and glides on clear so it can be used for every skin colour. This gives skin an airbrushed look, and helps to set foundation and make it last longer. Simply grab your powder brush, tap the bottom of the container to release the powder, swirl the brush in the lid and swirl onto skin. Like all of the powders from Savvy Minerals, it is vegan friendly and never tested on animals.
STEP #6: EYESHADOW
Young Living's great selection of eyeshadow can take you from soft and gentle to bold and dramatic. Again, it is simply all about building layer upon layer of color.
All the eyeshadow colors are so pretty! I have been using RESIDUAL and DETERMINED for my eyeshadow. I also use Determined as my Eye brow filler - you can use other eyeshadow colors for eyebrow filler or the darker foundations work as well.
When you start with eyeshadows, always apply Best Kept Secret first. Then you can have fun highlighting with Wanderlust, and filling in the crease with Diffused. For ladies with darker skin, you may want to start with Determined, highlight with Residual and then fill the crease with Unscripted. There are also new green shades, a pale mauve, and limited time only collections for the holidays.
Just swirl and shake off the excess before applying. For ultra-dramatic looks, you can also use the Misting Spray.
You have several eyeshadow brushes to choose from that will all create the perfect look.
Check out this video on how to use the Eyeshadow:
STEP #7: MULTITASKER
Now, let’s fill in our brows with the multitasker. This product can do so much more than just fill brows, it also can enhance the eyeshadow, fill in the lash line, and cover grey hairs.
I have been using the multi-tasker as my eyeliner as I prefer brown over black. This is too dark for my eye brows - I learned that the hard way, but sure had a good laugh about it.
Grab the eyeliner brush and use the short angled end to fill in brows. I don’t recommend using the Misting Spray with the eyebrow filler unless you want a very bold eyebrow. But, if you want a really deep colour as an eyeshadow, simply moisten the brush with you Misting Spray or with water before using.
Check out this video on how to use the Multi-Tasker:
STEP #8: EYELINER
Now, eyeliner is next. Here we can make a big impact if we want to. Get the pointed end of the eyeliner brush soaking wet with water, and pick up some of the Jet Setter and drop it in the lid. Again, wet the end of the brush, and then mix it in the lid until you have a wet paste to work with. While you generally want to avoid mud puddles in the lid of your foundation and blushes, etc, here the mud puddle really works in our favorite to give you a bold eyeliner look without accidentally dripping black powder on your face.
STEP #9: MASCARA
Then we can finish our look with mascara. The mascara is infused with lavender essential oil for gorgeous lashes from all natural ingredients. This one does contain beeswax, so it is not vegan. It is vegetarian and never tested on animals.
Check out this short video on how to use the Mascara:
STEP #10: LIPSTICK and/or LIP GLOSS
The lips are the final step. The lipstick glides on smooth and has a creamy texture that enhances the natural lip colour. They do not contain any gluten ingredients.
There are 5 gorgeous shades of lip stick to choose from! Adore is a bronze pink, On a Whim is a beige nude, Daydream, a pale peachy pink, Uptown Girl which is a Dusty Rose, and Wish, a nude rose.
Sweet almond oil, beeswax, and vitamin E are key ingredients that moisturize. Simply apply the lip stick until you have the desired coverage. You can also layer with your favorite Young Living lip balm.
LIP GLOSS
We have 4 shades available: Journey (bronze nude); Maven (mauve); Abundant (Sheer Light Pink); and Embrace (a Nude Pink).
Olive oil and jojoba esters moisturize and soften the lips while peppermint essential oil gives it a bit of a kick.
BRUSHES: Putting your best face forward is easy when you have the proper makeup application tools.
The Savvy Minerals Brushes are the perfect companion to the Savvy Minerals line.
