Complete Set of 24 Professional-Grade Brushes
This brush set offers you a professional makeup artist's tool kit for use at home. With a complete range of sizes and styles, you'll be able to find the right brush for the job. The set includes essential shadow, foundation, and powder brushes in multiple sizes, as well as liner, concealer, smudge brushes, and a dual eyebrow brush/lash comb.

For added convenience, the most often-used brushes are duplicated so you can dedicate one set to pale pastels or neutrals and the second set to dark, vivid hues. And all of the brushes feature a long, easy-to-grip handle for precision during application.

Handmade from Animal Hair for a Soft, Silky Feel
The cosmetics brushes are made from natural goat and badger hair, so they are soft and silky on top, yet firm and durable on the bottom. The brushes allow you to apply colors smoothly, while pigment does not cling to the hairs after application, so you can blend and reuse colors without cleaning every time.

Handmade with care, each brush in the set is engraved with the SHANY logo.

Easy to Clean and Dry
You do not need to clean these brushes frequently, but when you do wash, it's easy--simply run the brushes under warm water, clean them with your favorite shampoo, and rinse thoroughly. You can let your brushes air dry or use a hair dryer for quicker results. Brushes should be cleaned once before first use.

Convenient Storage Pouch for Organization and Travel
For easy organization, the brushes are packaged in a black folding pouch that you can easily toss into your gym bag or suitcase. Extendable trays in the pouch offer additional storage space for extra items, like your favorite jar of SHANY Mineral Eye Sparkle Eye shadow (Set of 40 Jars) (sold separately). The soft interior lining provides padding to keep the brushes safe during travel.

Each individual brush arrives packaged in a clear plastic wrap to protect it from dirt and dust.

All Natural Makeup: Cosmetics Use Propylene Glycol


Many cheap cosmetics cause skin reactions, which are not produced when all natural makeup is used. To understand why one is a healthy makeup for skin and the other is not, we need to investigate the ingredients used.

Propylene glycol is one of the more common substances found in the cheaper more common cosmetics. It is used in skin products to prevent drying and is found in many other products applied to the body such as shampoos, lotions, deodorants, hair conditioners, cosmetics and even toothpaste. Interestingly the same substance is also to be found in cigarettes, car de-icer, paint, pet foods, brake fluid, anti-freeze, laundry deodorants and some processed foods.

Propylene glycol is an alcohol product from the fermentation of carbohydrates and yeast and there are slightly different versions depending on the use. This means the type found in industrial products is slightly different to that found in makeup.

The American Academy of Dermatologists produced a report in 1991 that indicated that small amounts of the substance in industrial form could cause skin irritation. A Material Safety Data Sheet has been produced on this chemical by the US Department of Health and Human Services that reports it can cause skin and eye irritation as well as headaches, intestinal problems and nausea as a result of significant exposure. Further studies indicate it is possible liver and kidney damage may also result.

Why is it used in cosmetics then?

Propylene glycol is cheap. It enables manufacturers of new low-cost cosmetics to claim their product reduces drying of the skin. The problem is of course that it also interferes with the skins natural processes.

Defending the substance, the PropyleneGlycol.org website states it in used in more than 4000 makeup products, giving lipstick its texture, ensures the foam in shampoo, combines the oil and water found in body lotions and ensures fragrances smell for longer. The site maintains there is very little toxicity in each product and that it is virtually impossible to take in more than very small quantities of propylene glycol.

The substance is employed in the transportation of active ingredients found in cosmetic products. PropyleneGlycol.org relates how the chemical rapidly changes into lactic acid and is excreted in the urine. The site also reports no ill effects from small amounts used in pharmaceuticals. To be fair, the regulatory bodies around the globe have listed the substance to be generally safe; the European Union has restricted its use to mainly non-food applications however.

The ongoing debate has not really addressed the subject of skin irritation. Chemicals that are foreign to the human body should always be treated with care and propylene glycol is no exception. The skin always needs to breathe to be healthy and many cheap cosmetics block the pores, preventing this from happening.

There are a significant number of people who do not wear any makeup whatsoever and the most common reason is skin irritation. Some evidence indicates this may be related to the use of propylene glycol in products.

The use of all natural makeup, often in the guise of mineral cosmetics, overcomes this problem by using natural ingredients to promote skin nutrition as the same time as making the wearer look good.

There seems to be some debate about the dangers or otherwise of propylene glycol, leaving makeup wearers to draw their own conclusions. On balance however it would seem, if you were looking for a healthy makeup for skin, the better choice would be all natural makeup.

Beauty Problems That Makeup Cosmetics Can't Solve


Does your skin have blackheads or enlarged pores? Perhaps your problem is whiteheads. You may have tried all sorts of makeup cosmetics to cover up these skin blemishes, and spent plenty of money in the process. They do deliver what they promise, which is to cover up your problem. The trouble is that you will have to keep buying these make up cosmetics to hide the faults in your skin since they will never make the problem go away. You should be addressing the problem from its root cause so you can eliminate it. This will decrease your dependence on makeup cosmetics.

In case you have blackheads, you will have to remove them physically. They get formed when dead skin cells and sweat block a hair follicle on your face and cause the pores to swell. Dirt and impurities get stuck in these enlarged pores and your face will have black dots on it, particularly on or around the nose and chin. They are very unattractive to look at and give your skin a rough appearance and texture. You can get to buy blackhead removers from any beauty shop.

These are long thin metal objects with a wire circle at one end. Hold your face over a gently steaming pan of water in order to open up the pores. Use the remover to push the blackheads out. You could also remove them using blackhead removal strips. Use a medicated face wash after you are done and finish off with a very light moisturizer. Do this gently and as infrequently as possible. You could damage your skin when you force the blackheads out.

Enlarged pores happen when the sweat glands on your face are over active. The large open pores on your face are very unappealing to look at as well. Buy a special face wash that will reduce the oil on your skin. It would be better if you could ask your dermatologist to prescribe you one. Whiteheads are another common problem, though not as bad as blackheads. These too are caused by the accumulation of oil in your facial pores. Use a gentle facial scrub regularly to get rid of

them. Never use a harsh scrub as that could cause fine lines and wrinkles to form on your face. The common factor to all these problems is the extreme oiliness of your skin. It is best to focus on preventing them from forming on your face. Use a gentle face scrub everyday and buy a good quality toner. Reduce the amount oil in your food and try to improve your diet. No amount of beauty treatments will improve your looks if you do not eat healthy. Increasing the amount of water you drink and wash your face with plain water many times a day. Do not waste your hard earned money on makeup cosmetics to address these problems. There is no easy way around them and you will have to remove them physically if you want your skin to look smooth and flawless.

How to Organise Your Makeup Cosmetics

Nice Article


You will not make costly mistakes, and you can be sure you have invested in good choices that will work for you. Now it is time to bring your makeup home, unwrap all the pretty boxes and organise your new goodies so they are ready to be use.


Buy your makeup wisely. The beauty adviser can assist you with the makeup application as well. Most of us still love to have personal attention and guidance. If you are not experienced or comfortable with makeup, ask her for help. Tell her frankly the look you want. If you feel she is wearing too much makeup for your comfort level, explain that you would like a more natural look. Do not feel intimidated. I assure you the beauty adviser is eager to help you, and a good adviser will always work at your comfort level, not hers.


You will get the most out of your exciting new colors if you buy an attractive plastic organizer and keep your makeup, like your wardrobe, convenient and organized. Place lipstick in one compartment, blushers in another. Often these organizers have holes for mascara wands and lip and eye pencils. By keeping your makeup orderly and at your fingertips, you will save time getting dressed in the morning. When I time myself at putting on my makeup, I noticed that I lost minutes if I had to hunt for a certain eye pencil or lipstick. I can put on all my makeup - foundation, concealer, powder, blusher, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara and lipstick in six minutes if I have everything assembled where I need it. An organized wardrobe starts the day off smoothly.


Now it is time to acquire the tools you will need to apply your makeup so it looks naturally beautiful - Just like you.
