You’re going to love this powerful makeup remover if you have sensitive skin too! Free from alcohol, oils, astringents, parabens, fragrances, and sulphates, it's a great option for people with easily irritated skin or those who prefer to use chemical-free makeup removers.
Not only is The MakeUp Eraser gentle and effective but it’s also eco-friendly and cost-efficient thanks to its ability to be machine washable, giving it a life span of 3-5 years!

Our Youngblood Liquid Mineral Foundation is available in sixteen beautiful shades to match a wide range of skin colours and tones. Delivering a flawlessly, healthy complexion for skin types that err on the side of dry, dehydrated, normal and combination.
There’s no denying that one of the biggest and most sought-after goals that makeup artists, beauty therapists and people like you and I aim for is younger-looking skin and that “youthful glow”. However, you probably didn’t know about these major mistakes that many of us might make that make us look years older!
If you’re not using a primer, there’s a chance that you are undoing all the hard work of your foundation and concealer. Especially when one of your main concerns might be fine lines, wrinkles and under-eye bags. Primer is the essential link between your skincare and your makeup, and a must-have product for achieving younger-looking skin.
Our best-selling Mineral Primer is a complexion essential; not only providing your makeup application with the perfect base, but it’s also hugely influential in blurring the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. It’s key ingredients of hyaluronic acid, silicone and vitamin E fill out your wrinkles and provide a smooth canvas for your foundation and concealer.
Head to our blog here to find the best primer for your skin type.
Makeup is a powerful tool, so much so that we believe with the right application and following these Pro Tips – you can work tiny miracles (like giving yourself an instant brow lift with our On Point Brow Defining Pencil!). Start by filling and shaping your eye brows in a direction towards your temples, ensuring the end of your brows are elevated higher than the inner edges. This will give your face an instant yet subtle lift, chipping away years of your age.
Additionally, unlike some brow products that are filled with nasties that leave pesky pimples or blemishes around or under your brows, our On Point Brow Pencil is filed with Vitamin E and C with skin conditioning agents that deliver pigment rich colour to build and intensify your brows. Available in 3 shades; Blonde, Brown and Dark Brown.
This is one trend in particular that is sweeping the TikTok nation! For many years, we have applied our blush to the apples of our cheeks to give us a natural flush of colour – when really, we should be positioning it on the higher points of our cheek bones.
Whilst applying your blush using the old school method will still give your cheeks a healthy glow, you might also be running the risk of making your cheeks look heavier, thus older. By following this hack of placing it on the higher points, your cheek bones will be more defined and you will notice your face lift in a way that will shed years of your age!
Simply place two fingers flat next to your nose vertically, then take your YB5 Cheek Brush and apply your Pressed Mineral Blush in a sweeping motion upwards on top of your cheek bones and towards your temples.
Our Pressed Mineral Blush shades are highly pigmented and give cheeks and temples a natural looking flush with buildable coverage; available in 8 shades.
If your skin errs on the side of dry, mature or you’re finding your foundation is drawing more attention to your fine lines and wrinkles than you’d like – it might be time to switch to our Crème to Powder Foundation. This 2-in-1 transformation formula goes on creamy and sets to a luminous, powdery finish.
Unlike many foundations that leave creases in the skin where your fine lines and wrinkles might sit, the Youngblood Crème to Powder Foundation is light on the skin; concealing these lines and wrinkles and helping to balance skin tone.
Here at Youngblood, we’re your biggest advocates for leaving heavy, waterline eyeliner in 2010; after all, why would want to add more shadow to the area of your face that shows the effects of ageing the most? Instead, choose to use our creamy Legit Pencil Eyeliner and apply to your top lash line softly, blending with your eyeshadow thanks to our YB12 Line Perfecting Brush.
Whilst eye bags, crow’s feet and skin discolouration under the eyes can be scary and our kneejerk reaction may be to cake on the concealer using layers upon layers; this will only accentuate signs of ageing. Instead, take a light-weight concealer such as our Ultimate Concealer with our YB10 Precision Concealer Brush and press the product gently into your problem areas.
Another major debate in the makeup world right now is the correct way to apply your concealer under your eyes. Whilst the answer varies depending on your skin concerns and overall makeup goals – we suggest following this application method. Designed to give eyes a little pick-me-up and your face that overall age-defying lift; simply apply your concealer to the inner corner of your eyes, leave the middle under eye area concealer free, then go in with a tapping motion from your under outer corner to your temple.
Whilst of course ageing is beautiful, there’s no denying that we are forever on the hunt for makeup and skincare trends that will help us to hold onto that youthful glow. By following these simple hacks, you’ll be left with an age-defying makeup look that makes you look like a professional!
]]>Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics was born out of founder, Pauline Youngblood’s need to recommend healthy makeup to her clients to wear post-treatment. Now she is focusing on the first step in beautiful skin, high performing skincare.
During her many years as a dedicated beauty therapist, Pauline developed a strong sense of empathy for her patients suffering from serious skin conditions. Having experienced severe acne herself, she knew personally how it could negatively affect self–esteem. Her compassion for their needs and concerns inspired her to build a collection of effective and luxurious skincare products designed to complement her world-famous cosmetics.
"Women want skincare that is free from harmful chemicals but also high performing. That is what this line is about. This skincare is held to the same high standards we have for our cosmetics" - Pauline Youngblood.
Pioneers in the clean beauty space, the entire Clean Luxury Skincare collection is;
Nourishing Cleansing Oil
An ultra-lightweight gentle formula that helps break-down excess oils and clears pores without stripping the skin of natural hydration.
Daily Enzyme Exfoliant Creme
A never seen, dual-action formula that starts as a gentle enzyme peeling scrub then transforming into a rich, creamy, hydrating mask. It leaves the skin feeling like new, extremely hydrated and ultra-soft to the touch.
Advanced Refining Serum with 5% Lactic Acid
A powerful Lactic Acid serum that retexturizes and clarifies skin while reducing the appearance of dark spots and redness.
Radiance Renewal Treatment Glow Serum
An ultra-lightweight serum that quickly absorbs into the skin and leaves it with a subtle healthy glow.
NEW Micellar Water with Colloidal Silver
A cleansing water/toner that detoxifies and soothes skin leaving it feeling soft and hydrated.
NEW Eye Impact Revitalizing Eye Treatment
An ultra-cooling eye cream that will wake up your eyes by depuffing and hydrating the under-eye area with an infusion of Caffeine and Shea Butter.
With nine key ingredients, that are practically good enough to eat, Rice Setting Powder is your makeup bag’s multipurpose must-have product that you didn’t know you needed (but that you seriously do!).
Our Rice Setting Powder comes in pressed and loose form, and three shades – light, medium and dark. Both formulas can be used the same way, so take your pick!
As a primer for powder foundations:
Foundation needs a smooth canvas to ensure it blends seamlessly and lasts all day, so grab your YB1 Kabuki Brush and lightly dust the Pressed Rice Setting Powder over bare skin. To minimize pores and fine lines and achieve an airbrushed finish, press and roll the product into the skin with a flocked sponge to create the perfect base for your Loose Mineral Foundation.
As a setting powder:
Use the Loose Rice Setting Powder with the YB2 Powder Brush to give your Liquid Mineral Foundation a flawless finish (thanks to Mica, that lends a subtle sheen and silky smooth texture), while creating the perfect base to blend in your blushes and bronzers.
As a blotting powder:
For those of us who need an on-the-go, oil-controlling touch up, apply the powder over your T-zone and other problem areas to absorb excess oils and control shine.
With 9 skin-loving ingredients, our Rice Setting Powder has benefits far beyond giving your makeup the perfect finish.
Controls Oil – Corn Starch helps absorb excess oil, while Parsley Extract helps regulate oil production.
Soothes Skin – Cucumber, Marshmallow Root and Corn Flower Extracts soothe the skin, calm irritation and relieve puffy, tired and stressed skin.
Conditions & Hydrates – Jojoba Seed Oil, Lemon Peel Extract, Cucumber Extract and Marshmallow Root Extract work to increase moisture and hydrate the skin, without making it oily.
Cleanses Pores & Reduces Their Appearance – Parsley Extract helps cleanse your pores, while Mica reduces their appearance and gives you a silky-smooth texture.

]]>Breast Cancer is the most common cancer affecting Australian women. In 2020, it is predicted that 19,998 women and 170 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. This means that approximately 20,168 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, an average of 55 people every day.
Youngblood founder & President Pauline Youngblood was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 & thankfully, early detection was the key to her recovery. Unfortunately, it is more than likely that someone you know or love has been affected in some way by this disease and that’s why supporting October Breast Cancer Awareness Month is so close to our hearts and those of many Australians.
It’s more than just awareness – it’s the life-saving results that come with it. Through initiatives like Breast Cancer Awareness Month & foundations such as [insert foundation name], we are able to see progress towards the prevention, early-detection and curing of breast cancer. For example, the chance of surviving at least five years post diagnosis has increased from 74% in 1986-1990 to 90% in 2011-2015 – with the number of positive outcomes like this one continuing to grow each year.
For over 20 years we have been creating products from the Earth’s finest natural minerals, plant extracts and precious oils. Each product is made from triple-milled minerals to nourish and shield your skin with natural anti-inflammatory and sun-protection properties.
We create high-quality mineral makeup that nourishes the skin and acts as the final step of skincare and unlike other brands, our products never look ‘glittery’ – instead you’ll radiate a natural, healthy glow.
Clean and lightweight, Youngblood allows your skin to breathe and is non-comedogenic – meaning it won’t block your pores. With easy to apply formulas, Youngblood wears beautifully on every skin type – even those prone to breakouts, inflammation and sensitivity.
Formulated with 100% natural minerals that are gentle on the skin, such as titanium dioxide, iron oxides and mica. We leave out common irritants found in traditional makeup brands such as fillers, dyes, fragrances and preservatives.
We love our furry friends! That’s why ALL our products are PETA-certified cruelty free and we never conduct animal testing. Plus, we also have an extensive range of vegan products!
Isn’t it time you chose a makeup brand that doubles as skincare?
At Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics, we are committed to providing mineral makeup that is good for your skin.
Celebrate 2020 National Lipstick Day with pigment-rich colours enriched with natural oils and vitamins from Youngblood.
ProTip #1 – Always use lip liner! To avoid any ‘bleeding’ or smudging of colour, line your lips with a pigmented lip liner to act as a barrier between your lips and skin around your mouth. Lip liner can also create a much more defined and plumper pout.Key Ingredients: Vitamin E

Wearing makeup when you suffer from acne or have unwanted blemishes is one of the biggest dilemmas we face when it comes to skincare. Of course, when we have a special event or want to get a little glam, the first thing we want to do is cover up those pesky blemishes. However, using makeup filled with nasties runs the risk of clogging your pores, worsening your blemishes, or even making new ones pop up!
Formulated with clean ingredients that are gentle enough for use on even the most sensitive skin, Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics provides healthy, flawless coverage that nourishes the skin without clogging pores or causing irritation.
A huge benefit of using a mineral makeup like Youngblood is that it is non-comedogenic. Basically what this means is that it won’t clog your pores like other brands or non-mineral makeup. It is also suitable for use on inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea, acne, eczema and psoriasis.
Check out some of the amazing before & afters below to see the power Youngblood has to cover up any pesky pimples, blemishes and skin conditions.

Each of our 5 foundation formulas will not only have the power to cover breakouts and reduce redness of the skin - it will also absorb excess oil and nourish the skin with its clean and pore-clearing ingredients. So let’s find your perfect Youngblood match with our Foundation Finder.
]]>Makeup that heals while it conceals (we call it Beauty With Benefits, but more on that a little later!), Youngblood offers superior coverage without compromising skin health.
Along with natural, soothing minerals, Youngblood products are also packed with skincare-quality blends of deep-sea minerals and botanical extracts that nourish and protect your skin while delivering flawless coverage – we call it Beauty With Benefits.
Specifically formulated to minimise skin irritation and safely conceal the redness that comes with inflamed, irritated skin, our natural mineral formulas adhere to the natural oils in the skin (rather than sinking into the pores) – allowing skin to breathe and function normally.
If you suffer from sensitive or reactive skin, mineral makeup should be a crucial part of your beauty routine. Our products use clean minerals and exclude harsh chemicals to allow the skin to breathe more naturally, whilst simultaneously providing skin with soothing, healing ingredients.
Youngblood products are formulated with 100% natural minerals such as titanium dioxide, iron oxides and mica, that are gentle on skin. We fortify our products with nourishing plant extracts and oils to further enhance their skincare benefits, and leave out common irritants such as fillers, dyes, fragrances and preservatives that are found in traditional makeup.
Youngblood products are formulated without:
❌ Zinc oxide
❌ Talc
❌ Lead
❌ Mineral oil
❌ Parabens
❌ Fragrances
❌ Alcohol
❌ Dyes
❌ Binders
❌ Fillers
❌ Chemical preservatives
We could go on and on about the benefits of mineral makeup for skin health, but we want to address a common misconception – that mineral makeup isn’t able to provide full coverage and a flawless finish like regular makeup can. For Youngblood, this couldn’t be further from the truth! Youngblood’s range of Loose, Liquid, Pressed, and Creme Foundations and Tinted Moisturisers cater to all skin types and tones, and each provides a different coverage and finish.
Youngblood formulas are highly-pigmented, meaning you can build your desired coverage easily – from sheer to full, and everything in between. Youngblood formulas are powerful enough to effectively conceal skin concerns like rosacea, acne, eczema, pigmentation and more – dramatically improving the appearance of the skin while allowing it to breathe and function normally.
From the moment you apply it, you’ll notice Youngblood’s incredibly silky feel and its polished, natural finish. Clean and lightweight, it allows skin to breathe, is non-comedogenic, and even with our flawless coverage you’ll feel like you’re wearing no makeup at all.
Mineral foundations are a great option for all skin types, especially sensitive, acne-prone and mature skin, and Youngblood offers 5 foundation formulas in 53 shades that are filled to the brim with pure, natural minerals finely milled for weightless, silky, versatile coverage. And rest-assured all of them will provide a beautifully (non-cakey) flawless finish.

It was the perfect night to celebrate the creative achievements and talent of the biggest names in the music industry. As with any star-studded red-carpet event, we were keeping our eyes peeled for some beauty inspo – and we weren't disappointed! Here are 3 of our fave looks from this year's Grammy’s.
FKA Twigs (AKA Tahliah) went beautifully bold with a warm smoky cut-crease and fluffy brows. Skin coverage was kept light allowing freckles and texture to peep through, giving her bold eyes and brows all the spotlight.
Chrissy Teigen - wife of “All of Me” singer John Legend – gave us serious bronzed babe vibes on the red carpet. Her look was all about the skin, keeping it dewy and bronzed for that ‘glow from within’ look. A glossy nude lip gave Chrissy’s stunning look the perfect finish.
Pop Princess Arianna Grande kept it classic with winged liner and peachy toned eyeshadows. Her contour and highlight were on point, complemented by a classic Arianna-Esque high pony.
Jennifer Aniston took home one of the biggest awards of the night winning Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series. Whilst we applaud her very deserving win, we can’t stop obsessing over her timeless makeup look!
Margot Robbie was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in big-screen hit Bombshell, and while she missed out on the win, she most certainly won the red carpet with her makeup look paired with a perfectly effortless-looking updo.
Both of these beauties serving us with beautiful barely-there makeup paired with the perfect soft-pink lip and natural-looking blush.
Get the look by trying our ‘Blossom’ and “Posh’ Pressed Mineral Blush and our ‘Uptown’ Lip Gloss.
Winged eyeliner is here to stay and going by the eclectic mix we saw on the red carpet, there are so many different versions to get inspired by for your next look!
Mum-to-be America Ferrera opted for an extremely bold wing, while Lupita Nyong’o let her wing have a little extra sparkle with silver eyeliner, which matched perfectly with her earrings. The flawless, doll-like beauty that is Zoe Kravitz kept her wing simple with a thin line and soft flick to finish. And last but certainly not least, award-winner Michelle Williams sported a classic Hollywood-glam look pairing her winged eyeliner with a timeless red lip.
The younger stars of Hollywood showcased that soft, neutral makeup paired with a little bit of shimmer is one way to execute the perfect awards-night glam! Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown wowed the red carpet with her flawless skin and she didn’t stop there, her choice of natural brown shades with an added gold shimmer for her eyeshadow was simply enchanting. Get her look with our Enchanted Palette. Big Little Lies actress Kathryn Newton followed suit, adding extra sparkle with a beautiful bronze shadow to harmonise with an overall peach-toned look.
Our favourite beauty look from the night was from the gorgeous Game of Thrones actress and wife of Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner. Proving that less is more, Sophie’s most striking feature, her beautiful blue eyes, stood out the most as they were complimented by glistening silver eyeshadow and voluminous lashes.
]]>It was a night to celebrate the incredible talent and impressive achievements in the entertainment realm, but for us, it was the beauty inspiration we need (and so desperately crave) for the year ahead! From peachy minimalist tones and dramatic eyes to the unwaveringly-popular bold red lip – here are our favourite looks of the night!
Rooney Mara, Michelle Williams and Jennifer Aniston kept their looks perfectly minimal, with soft pink/peachy tones complimenting their gowns beautifully and showing us that simple subtlety can always be enough. Rooney channelled Star Wars with her extravagantly embellished space buns while her makeup was soft and delicate with bold, brushed-out brows. Jennifer and Michelle let their natural beauty shine through as their makeup was left humbly modest, with gentle pink lips completing their effortless makeup looks.
Rachel Brosnahan, Kerry Washington and Awkwafina proved that the red lip is here to stay – no matter the year (or decade)! Each of these stunning ladies served up serious fierceness with their respective shades of red – from Rachel’s deep ombre tones and Kerry’s classic vixen shade, to Awkwafina’s red wine-stained lips.
Lucy Boynton, Winnie Harlow and J-Lo took their looks to the next level with dramatic eyes, and when was say dramatic we mean DRAMATIC! Lucy was a metallic marvel with bold black eyeshadow and eyeliner accompanied by crystal-embellished wings, while Winne’s eye makeup paired seamlessly with her gorgeous dress thanks to electrifying blue eyeliner sweeping along her lash lines. As per usual, J-Lo can do no wrong, and her eyes were popping as a result of beautifully blended deep purple and golden eyeshadow tones.
]]>Enhancing or downplaying your features is the magic of makeup, and the best part is – anyone can do it! Whether it’s a simple contour of the cheekbones for that extra definition, or some highlighter to lift the brows, anyone and everyone can give it a go. That being said, there’s an art to contouring and highlighting, so it’s no surprise that many of us are afraid to try this trend for fear of ending up with a brown smudge along our jawline or an overly-sparkly face.
Lucky for us, Youngblood’s head makeup artist Fi is here to walk us through the application process so you can nail this look and achieve all your makeup goals! Check out her step-by-step guide below.
Prep your skin with primer to hydrate and smooth your complexion before you apply your foundation. Applying a primer means you’ll use less foundation, your makeup will last all day and you’ll achieve a beautiful, seamless finish. I recommend using Youngblood’s bestselling Mineral Primer – it’s silky and lightweight, and crazy-good at blurring the appearance of fine lines, blemishes and pores.
Laying a good foundation is the secret to success, no matter what makeup look you’re doing! And it’s especially important when it comes to your makeup application. Choosing a foundation that blends into your skin perfectly is the key to creating a flawless base, and high-quality brushes are another essential when it comes to achieving the perfect finish. Use our YB4 Foundation Brush to apply liquid foundation, or our YB1 Kabuki Brush if you’re using Youngblood’s Loose Mineral Foundation. Buff the foundation into your skin with our YB3 Liquid Buffing Brush for a flawless, well-blended finish.
PRO TIP: Always start your foundation application on the nose and cheeks and work outwards to the edge of your face and down your neck. Wait a minute or two to allow your foundation to settle into the skin before applying a second layer if more coverage is needed.
Choosing the right contour product for your skin tone is just as important as choosing the right foundation! If you get the tone or texture for your skin wrong, then you risk it having no bronzing effect at all or even worse – ending up with skin that looks muddy. Youngblood has a wide range of bronzing and contouring products options that are suitable for all skin types to help you on your quest towards bronzed perfection.
Our Contour Palette has three matte bronze shades to work from, our Mineral Radiance Bronzers are perfect for a sun-kissed glow, and our brand-new Defining Bronzers are pigment-rich and buttery-smooth to give you a naturally bronzed look.
PRO TIP: Take a step back from the mirror when applying bronzer to ensure you don’t over-apply and know where to apply contour to suit your face shape.
Add instant radiance to the high points of your face with our highlighters – “the best anti-aging trick in the book,” according to our head makeup artist Fi!
Firstly, work out what highlighter works best for your skin type and tone. If you have oily skin you probably tend to steer clear of liquid and crème highlighters, but with Youngblood there’s no need to! Because you’ve used our Mineral Primer, your skin is perfectly mattified for a seamless highlighter application using the crème highlighters in our Illuminate Palette, that give skin a subtle sheen and a more matte-style finish.
If you’re after more glow, then our Light-Reflecting Highlighters are the one for you! Suitable for all skin types, these highlighters blend seamlessly into your foundation and add a beautiful burst of radiance to finish your look!
When it comes to skin tone, Youngblood has you covered! For fairer skin we’d recommend using our shades with eggshell undertones such as our brand-new ‘Quartz’ Light Reflecting Highlighter which is a soft, luminous pearl, and if you’re after a cream highlighter, the ‘Pearl’ and ‘Natural’ shades in our Illuminate Palette won’t disappoint. Medium toned skin looks gorgeous in rose gold tones such as our ‘Aurora’ Light Reflecting Highlighter or our ‘Pink’ and ‘Gold’ shades in the Illuminate Palette. For dark skin tones, deep golden and bronze shades work best, so reach for our ‘Gold’ and ‘Bronze’ shades in the Illuminate Palette or our ‘Fiesta’ Light Reflecting Highlighter which can be brushed across your cheeks, brow bones, down the ridge of your nose and across the cupids bow of the lips with our YB7 Highlighter Brush.

“The Weekender palette is sooo handy having all shades in the one, I’m loving it especially because my kit is so massive its great having a small compact product as opposed to separate palettes.” – Hayley Mciver
“Loving it! The palette is such a good all-rounder, and so pigmented! Thanks so much!” – Carla Dyson
“I must say I've been using the Weekender Palette weekly on clients and on myself since receiving it. I ABSOLUTELY love it. Without any exaggeration, I think the shade selection was really well chosen, with just the right variety to create simple or complex, neutral or dramatic looks. I've been using 'Boarding Pass' to illuminate fair complexions which are super easy to blend and certainly more of a minimal to a medium intensity which is perfect for an on the go, day to day moment. By combining 'Bon Voyage Highlighter' and 'Yacht Club Blush' on the cheeks and across the bridge of the nose, you immediately see a glowing, effortless, sun-kissed illusion. I love the mirror size for travelling as well, the palette isn't overly heavy considering the number of shades inside which makes it very suitable for travelling in my opinion.” – Sabrina Walsh

At the very base of its function, primer is designed to prepare and protect your foundation and other makeup from coming in contact with the sweat and oil that causes a degradation of makeup throughout the day, and instead helping you start your makeup look with a clean, blank canvas.
Concerned about the appearance of your pores? Primer also helps to fill in fine lines and pores, without clogging your skin, resulting in a smoother, younger and more even complexion.
But the benefits of a primer don't stop there... Priming your skin pre-makeup will leave your skin hydrated and smooth, meaning less flaking, fading and less going to the bathroom for 'touch ups' on the go. Simply said, your on-fleek everything will stay in place until you decide to take it off.
Whatever your skin type, we guarantee Youngblood will have a perfectly priming solution. Check out the pick of the bunch from Youngblood.
If your skin is naturally more oily than usual, a mattifying and shine controlling primer will be perfect for you. Youngblood’s Anti-Shine Mattifier gives your skin the hydration it needs, without the all-out shine inducing formula. Helping to balance oily and acne prone skin, this primer also contains anti-acne ingredients like Nigella and pumpkin seed oils which help absorb excess oil and purify the skin. The result? An immediate and long-lasting mattifying effect.
If you are suffering from uneven skin tone, texture, redness or pigmentation, a tinted colour correcting primer is an essential to your makeup routine. The colour correcting properties of Youngblood’s CC Perfecting Primer, plus the tinted base helps to completely vanish any signs of pores, uneven skin tone and shine in just one step. Rich in peptides, including hyaluronic acid, kiwi fruit extract and rosa flower water, this multi-tasking powerhouse primer hydrates the skin and instantly blurs imperfections, settling into a satin-matte finish.
If dull skin is your issue, then the Youngblood Illuminator with Diamond Powder is your perfect quick fix. Containing black diamond powder for luminosity, hydrating shea butter, and luxurious skin nutrients like marula and orange oils, this illuminating primer will instantly wake up dull skin and leave you with a seriously lit-from-within glow. The lightweight cream texture can be used on the high points of the face or all over to make skin look smoother, dewy and more nourished.
No matter what your skin type, our original and #1 best-selling Mineral Primer is the holy grail, all in one primer you need to try. Made with honeysuckle extract and jojoba seed oil, along with hydrating minerals and vitamins, this lightweight primer works to hydrate the skin while creating a flawlessly silky smooth and even surface, ready for foundation application.
FACE
Mix in a small amount of Youngblood’s Diamond Illuminator with the Liquid Mineral Foundation in your shade and apply to your skin for a radiant look. Lightly dust the Hi-Def Mineral Perfecting Powder in Translucent to set your base.
EYES
Prime your lids with the Stay Put Eye Prime, using your ring finger to blend out. Using the Deluxe Eyeshadow Brush, blend the Individual Pressed Eyeshadow in Jewel over the entire lid (dampen shadow slightly for a more pigmented look), along the bottom lash line and into the crease. Blend the edges of this hue upwards towards the brow bone with the shade Pink Diamond, highlighting the brow.
Define the lash line with the Eyeliner Pencil in Blackest Black, and finish off by coating the lashes with the Mineral Lengthening Mascara in Blackout.
CHEEKS
Using the Contour Palette, sculpt under the cheekbones, around the hairline, temples and either side of the nose with your appropriate contour shade. Add extra luminosity with the Diamond Illuminator, dabbing a small amount across the tops of your cheeks and down the nose.
LIPS
Swipe lips to finish with the Lipgloss in Déjà vu.

Jennifer Hawkins has been a loyal fan of Youngblood's Liquid Mineral Foundation for years, and here's proof!
From those incredibly dedicated beauty bloggers that you follow religiously, to our favourite beauty obsessed Instagrammers, Youngblood has proven to be a fave among all these circles because of our natural looking, long-lasting formulas, that heal and conceal the skin.
]]>Here are your favourite Instagrammers that LOVE Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics just as much as you do:
To ensure a long-lasting base, apply the Mineral Primer like a moisturiser across your face, leaving to settle for one minute. Swipe the Crème to Powder Mineral Foundation over your skin for a natural, flawless finish. Using a super powder brush, light dust the Loose Mineral Rice Setting Powder over your t-zone for longer wear.
Using the Brow Artiste Wax, lightly define and fill the brows for a softly structured look. Then, with an Eyeshadow Brush, and the Pressed Eyeshadow Quad in Gemstones, apply the moss shade from the lash line to the crease, dabbing the gunmetal shade in the middle of this shade and along the crease, and blend outwards. Using the champagne shade, blend from the crease upwards and highlight the brow bone with the pale gold shade. Finish off the eyes with the Mineral Lengthening Mascara in Blackout, using a zig-zag technique for maximum effect.
Using a Contour Blush Brush, lightly dust the Pressed Mineral Blush in Blossom onto the cheeks for a neutral flushed look on tan skin. Using the same brush, apply the Mineral Radiance in Sundance across the hairline, hollows of cheeks and temples.
Begin by defining the lips with Lip Liner in Pout, and smudging for a subtle line. Swipe across your lips with our Lipstick in Sierra Sunset.
