Overall:
Now, just recently I have learned my lesson and had been always alert after finishing putting foundations. I always need to set it with a finishing powder. This way it would last longer, would not melt, and get cakey. Ocean Mist Cosmetics-Lightly Tinted Mineral Finish always saves me from looking like a hot mess! This product is my holy grail and one of my favorites for everyday routine! I can't never leave the house without applying this baby on! I just love the consistency of this specific finishing powder. I find my face looking flawless after my whole face routine application. Its smooth and soft and especially the fact that it looks very natural. Also I find it to be budget friendly as the full size only costs $10.00 and since its mineral, you only need a little for the whole application. I am still on my 1st container ever since I received this product, which is months ago! And also the fact that I use it everyday? It's my life saver!

Would Beauty Funktion Recommend it?
YES. OF COURSE I DO RECOMMEND Ocean Mist Cosmetics-Lightly Tinted Mineral Finish. A good makeup artist always knows to set your foundation with a good finishing powder and this is a great product to try and would save you a lot of money!

Pros:
-High Quality
-Very Pigmented
-Rich Colors
-Very Easy to Blend!
-Easy to work with
-Container has a sifter

Cons:
-Since it is a mineral blush/bronzer it can be a bit messy!

Overall:
Ocean Mist Cosmetics-Blushes (Pink Mist) is a little shiny dark pink blush with cool undertones. This is good for fair to medium skin tones. It looks very nice on my skin tone. It looks dark pink on the container but once you apply it on the cheeks and blend, it looks like a very light mauve pink. It is very easy to work with. I say this because I have dealt and try other mineral products that are very very hard to blend! But this blush is super smooth and works like a charm! I love this color on my cheeks at it gives me a tint of flushed cheeks which looks very cute! I do want to add that this blush has the ingredient of ultramarine and REMEMBER Blush products with ultramarines are not approved for use on the lips in the United States.

Ocean Mist Cosmetics- Bronzers (24 K) is a sheer bronzer that gives a lovely kiss of the sun to all skin tones. Use this as a bronzing blush. I love this bronzer it is perfect for applying it on the t zones. It will really give you that glow you always wanted. I also use this bronzer to contour my cheek bones. I just grab my contouring face brush and grab a little amount of this baby and contour my cheeks. Its is very easy to do and easy to blend!

The only thing is that since it's mineral, it can get pretty messy! I do like Ocean Mist Cosmetic's container though. As it has the sifter. Other mineral companies does not have these sifters on their container which can lead to spilling the minerals, or lead to applying too much of it and results to complicated blending process. Remember when it comes to mineral cosmetics, you only need a little pea size for the whole face! So that sifter is a major plus!

Would Beauty Funktion Recommend it?
Ocean Mist Cosmetics-Blushes (Pink Mist) & Bronzers (24 K) are very lovely colors. They are super easy to blend and looks very natural on the face. I really recommend these two. See the pictures below for yourselves.

Also I use this to apply my highlight on my cheeks and also great for applying bronzers and contouring your cheeks as it is sturdy enough to contour! The eyeshadow brush is great to pack in colors, can be use wet or dry. The Angled Liner Brush is perfect to line the upper lash line with mineral liquid eyeliner. It is very precise and so easy to handle and control. The lip liner is perfect for applying lipsticks evenly and would be able to control the amount of lipstick or lipgloss used. The last one is the Eyebrow/Eyelash brush used for taming the eyebrows and comb it to its place.
