Engineer Turned Makeup Artist Creates Mineral Makeup Line for All

Etniq Minerals, the creation of Makeup Artist and former engineer Leah Patterson, answers all women's need for versatile, safe, and long-lasting makeup.

North Little Rock, AR, July 04, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Makeup artist Leah Patterson believes there's no reason to sacrifice healthy skin when trying to look good. That's the thought behind her line, Etniq Mineral Cosmetics.

Patterson, a Chicago native and Howard University chemical engineering grad who focuses on holistic beauty, has created high-quality eyeshadows, foundations, blushes and bronzers that are good for skin.

"Minerals protect the skin from sun damage and environmental elements," she says. "The ingredients actually adhere to the skin so you have perfect coverage all day. It doesn't clog pores and you can even sleep in it without worrying."

Etniq uses non-organic materials that stave off bacteria, mold and fungus, extending the products' usefulness beyond the shelf life of many others. Mineral makeup can help even out skin tone, cover acne and scarring, and blemishes. If you've got an active lifestyle, Etniq is for you, she says.

"I wanted to create a mineral makeup line with bold colors and a funky uniqueness that would stay in place while dancing, swimming and exercising."

An aesthetician, Patterson studied at Dudley's Beauty College and owns Soul Revival Mobile Spa for in-home services and private parties. She's taught wellness seminars for about five years, created a line of specialty herbal hair and body products, and works as wellness editor for BellaOnline.

Etniq launched in March 2007. She's hoping to create a new era of hip, multicultural, holistic beauty with it. Individual prices range from $5.25 to $24.50. Makeup kits are available from $15.00 to $85.00. Orders can be placed online at www.etniqminerals.com.
