About Mix Cosmetiques

Hello, my name is Lanae Rhoads, owner of Mix Cosmetiques. In 2012 I began the journey into natural, mineral makeup. I know that most people have one story of how they got started or how they were inspired, but I have two. Let me tell you about them… The first part starts with frustration. Perhaps the same frustration you feel. I couldn’t find the right eyeshadow color. Ten thousand shades and none were right for me. How is that possible? I tend to be that person who thinks if I can’t find the right thing I will just make it myself.This isn’t as far fetched as it seems. I had been making my own bodycare products for years. When I looked at the ingredients in eyeshadow I realized they were the same pigments I used to color my soap. Well, if I already had the ingredients nothing is stopping me from trying it for myself. So I did! And I made the right color! The formula was terrible. It was sticky and didn’t blend, then it crept into my crease halfway through the day, but I had begun. And from there it was simply a question of playing with the formulas and bringing my friends into the process. There is nothing more fun than playing makeup with your friends. I don’t care if you are 8 or 80 playing with makeup and having your friends around is fun! That is what led me to the party and kit idea. A group can get together to play with makeup, explore colors and give opinions (cause who doesn’t want to do that) all in a fun and relaxed setting.Read their story
