Who doesn’t like getting all dolled up every once in a while? Mia Mariu’s Create Your Perfect Canvas is just what you need.
Ever spent countless of hours on YouTube watching those makeup tutorial thinking “dang, that’s a lot of freaking work”? Well, you are not alone. Makeup is not something that I put on every day. Why? Too time-consuming in my opinion. If I have to choose between sleeping or waking up at the crack of dawn to “put my face on,” I will choose sleep thank you very much!
But I’m a girl; I like getting dolled up and playing with makeup. I call it playing because I have no idea what I’m doing. What I liked about the Mía Mariú makeup line is that it was easy (enough) to apply.
Kind of wish I had done a before picture for this post. The after picture will have to do.
I started by prepping my canvas (my face) using the Perfecting Finish Mineral Primer.
I usually never use cream concealer (more of a liquid kind of gal), but the Perfecting Finish Mineral Cream Concealer was a nice change. I was able to cover up some of the blemishes (old age I tell ya…). Which made using the Perfecting Finish Mineral Loose Powder Foundation a breeze!
The little man came in for a selfie! Love him!!

That lipstick in that pretty pink shade looks amazing on you. Your skin looks great, I am a HUGE makeup junkie infact I did a hairstylist apprenticeship when I lived in Toronto and I love hair products as well but that’s another story. I think your beautiful and if you can be confident with out make up and use it only to enhance your beauty then that’s what playing with makeup should be about. I on the other hand can’t go with out my eye brows done they are blond and you can’t see my face with out it I’m so pale with out makeup. Foundation can help lighten or darken your complexion or just go on loosely and it looks great on you.

I have never tried this make up before but I did just spring for some new make up. The good stuff is so expensive I think the powder foundation and bronzer set me back a $100 or so bucks but I love it! I am one of those people that is addicted to hair and make up tutorials on youtube. This make up looks great I will have to wait until I build my beauty fund back up.

I have never tried their products but from the photo and what you share it seems they do have the perfect prodicts for each skin pigment and tone!
jackpot!
I watch these videos sometimes that are 20+ minutes long and they have even sped them up and I’m thinking there is no way I would spend that much time on makeup. Im a minimal kinda girl.
lol RIGHT!! I know lol I’m the same way! I get tired watching those videos. There is so much involved in the whole process hahah
Gorgeous! I consider myself a “low maintenance” girl but I do love makeup. Mostly foundation/powder and eye makeup for me. 🙂

Thank you Sarah! The concealer is definitely a new fav!
Mia Mariu has some of the best makeup. I love how a little goes a long way, so it lasts a long time too! I just used up the last of my favorite blush I bought from them 2 years ago, so I definitely need to get more soon!

Primer is a wonderful thing to use. It really does help prepare your skin for applying makeup. Makeup last so much longer.
Ha, I did laugh when you said old age. You’re way too young looking to even be thinking of old age. 🙂 I’m glad you like the makeup. I think a cream would be a nice change for concealer too.

I love cream concealer, or both actually .=) What a great giveaway, I love their products. Great review, looks great on you. =)
I prefer liquid because it blends into my skin more easily. But I do like creams as well.
I prefer liquid.
I usually use liquid, but since I am a few years into my forties, I’ve noticed lately that cream provides better coverage.
I have the same set and I love how much it covers and how lightweight it is.

I haven’t used concealer before, but I’m becoming interested in trying things of this nature! I’m a beginner. :p
I prefer liquid concealer – I really love Kat Von D products. I haven’t had a chance to try Mia Mariu, but I have heard really great things! Thanks for sharing.
I love how you say that, Dang that looks like a lot of work! This sounds like a great bunch of products to test out.

jane recently posted…Australia- The Country that Has It all
It’s so tough finding my perfect shade. I’m not too dark but not too light either so makeup either washes me out or make me look like I have a dark tan. I’ve heard of Mia Mariu but have never used it. Looks great on you!

Your face looks flawless I love good primer and while I’m not a fan of cream concealer after seen your pics I think I might need to try some.

Liquid feels better on my skin, but cream offers better coverage. Hard to pick.
I love makeup and it looks really pretty on you. Learning how to apply it can be a task. I am no pro myself.
I’m glad I’m not alone when it comes to makeup and knowing what you’re doing, I also think it’s too time consuming. But I guess I should learn at some point, lol. I’m gonna give the giveaway a try.

I agree I like to get all dolled up with makeup too. Your skin looks flawless by the way. Beautiful! I will have to try this out!
Liquid
I need to try these, I love mineral makeup! I used to hoard bare escentuals because it’s not readily available in our country.
I like both
I definitely prefer a cream concealer to liquid. Cream seems to give me a better coverage!
I prefer liquid concealer
I love and use both.
this does look like an awesome time saver but for some reason I have never been able to get along with powder foundations
I don’t really have a favorite I tend to keep both in my make-up bag and use which ever one I grab first 🙂
I like cream!
I truly do agree with all of the suggestions you could have unveiled in your post. There’re really effective and will absolutely get the job done. Even so, this blogposts are too quick to start. May you please expand them a little out of up coming moment? Basically posting.
