Diamonds Are A Mug’s Best Friend

Diamonds Are A Mug’s Best Friend



ROOSENDAAL, The Netherlands (Wireless Flash) – Would you believe you could look more beautiful if you rubbed ground-up diamonds on your face? Well, that’s the idea behind a new line of makeup made with powdered gemstones. Dutch celebrity Maria Magdalena has developed 30 shades of makeup powder, each containing 3 percent diamonds and 4 percent other gemstones. She says the ground-up rubies, pearls, jade and amber not only add color, they nourish, heal and balance skin. Wearing diamonds on your face may sound expensive, but Magdalena says it’s not because she uses less expensive grades of diamonds. It still costs more than drugstore face paint: $27 per pot of powder. Right now, the precious gem makeup is only available to professional makeup artists, but Magdalena is currently working on getting it into some Los Angeles boutiques.
