MAC Libra Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep pink with strong, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had rich color coverage that applied beautifully to bare skin with an even layer of product that blended out easily along the edges but didn't sheer out too readily.
Thanks for installing f.lux.
Your f.lux installer is a .zip file - it should be in your Downloads folder. Install f.lux by double-clicking it.
Once f.lux is installed and running, you should see the f.lux Preferences window appear. Here, you can enter your location and set your usual wake time. f.lux uses this information to create a custom lighting schedule for you.
You can open up Preferences any time to view and change your f.lux settings.
The f.lux menu can always be found to the left of your system clock.
f.lux Preferences
Daytime is whenever the sun is up in your location. By default, f.lux is at 6500K during the daytime, and does not change your screen's color.
If you prefer very warm daytime colors, select Options> Expanded Daytime Settings from the f.lux menu.
Sunset is when the sun has set, but you are awake. If you are an early riser, this is also your pre-sunrise morning setting.
Sunset colors are designed to work well with normal warm white room lighting. If you usually wake up before sunrise, you might prefer a more moderate (4500K or brighter) Sunset setting.
Bedtime is the time before sleep when you're getting ready for bed (or already in it). Evidence suggests blue light inhibits sleep mac os.
The Bedtime setting changes with your wake time. It removes as much alerting light from your screen as possible so that you can feel your body growing tired. You can go to sleep anytime with f.lux - whenever you feel sleepy.
. . .f.lux presets
The f.lux preferences window lets you change and preview settings. There are several presets you can choose from. f.lux will default to the Recommended colors preset.
Recommended colors: Use these for the first week while you get used to the change of colors and discover how you like to use f.lux.
Custom colors: Custom color control, click the time of day you want to change and then drag the slider to your preferred color temperature.
Classic f.lux: At sunset, f.lux will fade to 3400K, and turn off at sunrise. For large screens this setting is probably not strong enough to remove all alerting light.
Working late: for extreme night owls, removes solar timing and gives 14 hours of bright waking light.
. . .Location
For most machines, f.lux can automatically detect your location with OS X Location Services.
You can also use postal codes (US only), the name of a nearby city, or map coordinates (find them on the map at justgetflux.com/map.html).
If you've been traveling, you might need to update your location. Make sure your computer's internal Timezone settings are correct under System Preferences > Date & Time > Time Zone
. . .Options
Fast transitions: 20 second fade at sunrise and sunset. When unchecked, f.lux changes gradually over one hour.
Sleep in on weekends: For people who want brighter light later on Friday and Saturday nights (and sleep in on Saturday and Sunday mornings)

Extra hour of sleep (ages 13-18): Starts Bedtime one hour earlier for teens and other people who need a little more sleep
Expanded daytime settings: Warmer daytime settings (to 1900K) for people who want to reduce eyestrain or match office lighting
Backwards alarm clock: Calculates how many hours remain until your wake time and gives reminders every thirty minutes when it gets very late
Dim on disable: Gentle fade on disable so it hurts less to check colors
Color Effects
Darkroom: Removes 100% of blue and green light and inverts colors. Darkroom mode also preserves night vision while using a screen.
Movie mode: Lasts 2.5 hours. Preserves colors and shadow detail for watching movies with reduced alerting light.
OS X Dark theme at sunset: Uses the normal theme during the day and switches to dark theme (dock and menu bar) each night at sunset. Disabling f.lux will also disable dark theme.
Disable
For an hour: Disables f.lux for one hour and returns your screen to its normal setting.
The park (itch) (spelbyggarna) mac os. Until sunrise: Disables f.lux until your local sunrise.
For current app: Open the app you want to disable f.lux for, then choose this option to disable f.lux whenever a particular app becomes active. You can re-enable f.lux later by opening the app and unchecking this option.
If you often check colors after dark, you might like to use the Dim On Disable setting under Options.

Other video display issues
Some Macbooks were recalled for problems with video hardware. You can check if your model is on the list at: https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
Flashing
On dual-GPU machines we write an ICC profile in order to make the 'switch' between video cards more seamless. In some older machines, and every so often, this doesn't work so well. You can use gfx.io to lock to one card, or to read about how this system works and disable if you want, check out our f.lux profile + prefs article.
If you still have questions about f.lux or need more help, you can check our FAQ or ask a question in our support forum.
Ever worry about how your computer habits can affect your life? You should, because blue light has been shown to disrupt your sleep cycles, delaying the amount of time it takes for you to fall asleep. Please check out Ontario Association of Optometrist's video Sleepless | Are Screens Keeping You Awake? to learn more. There are a few ways to reduce the amount of blue light exposure from using your devices. You can purchase glasses with an anti-reflective coating that filters the blue light, reducing the amount that reaches your eyes.
In addition to those blue light AR-coating glasses, you can do a few tricks on your PC/Mac, Android, or iOS devices that reduce the emission of blue light. Generally, these will remove blue light from showing on your screen, which leads to softer and yellower light that is easier on your eyes. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to set up a blue light filter for your device:
The best, and easiest solution is a program that you can install called f.lux . This program is great because it is so easy to set up. Based on your location that you enter, f.lux will automatically pick up on when the sun sets and rises to turn on or off the blue light filter.
- Download f.lux for PC or for MacOS
- Install and follow the prompts needed to complete set up
It's seriously that simple. There are settings where you can adjust the colour of the filters but I don't recommend playing around with it. Also, you can disable the filter for one hour when you need to do colour-sensitive work, such as graphics design, or watching videos. You can access all of this in in the System Tray on Windows:
I recently learned that Mac OS X 10.12.4 has a native Night Shift filter as well. Make sure your Mac has Sierra OS X 10.12.4 and is one of the following :
- MacBook (Early 2015 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer)
- Mac mini (Late 2012 or newer)
- iMac (Late 2012 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
- Apple LED Cinema Display
- Apple Thunderbolt Display
- LG UltraFine 5K Display
- LG UltraFine 4K Display
- Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays.
- Click on the Night Shift tab
You can adjust the schedule and colour on this screen. You can also control Night Shift from the notification centre as well:
Please make sure your iPhone/iPad is on iOS 9.3 to use their native feature.
- On the home screen, swipe up from the bottom to open the control centre
- Tap on the Night Shift Icon on the shortcuts row
This will automatically set your device to turn on Night Shift when the sun sets to when the sun rises.
If you want to customize your Night Shift features, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Night Shift. On the same screen, you can schedule a time for Night Shift to turn on automatically and adjust color temperature.
Mac Os Catalina
Perhaps this is the trickiest one to do if you aren't tech-savvy, but it is possible and I will walk you through it! You will have several options depending on what version of Android you are running, and whether or not you are rooted. I will give my best recommendation depending on which version you are running.
- The easiest way to install a blue light filter would be to use an app called an Twilight, which you can download from the Play Store here
- After installing, you can open the app to pause/resume filtering, adjust the colour/intensity/brightness of the filter, and adjust the filtering times to work with your sunrise/sunset location
- You can also drag down the notification centre to quickly pause/resume Twilight, and access the settings from there
This is my favourite and current way of filtering blue light because its a feature that is native to the Android operating system. Please make sure you are running Android Nougat (7.0+) to have this work.
1. Enable the 'System UI Tuner' by dragging down the notification tray (swipe down twice fully) and press and hold the little gear icon in the top right corner for settings for 10 seconds until it says 'Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to settings'.
2. Head to the Play Store and install Night Mode Enabler from here
3. Run the application and click 'Enable Night Mode'. It should take you to another screen and then in the System UI Tuner set the slider to 'On'
4. From here, you can adjust the time & location settings, tints, and brightness of the filter
Blue Libra Mac Os Update
I don't have much to say about this section because only a small portion of the population has a rooted Android phone. As a root user myself, I do have a few recommendations for my tech-savvy readers! My favourite root app for blue light filter is C.F Lumen . This app actually works without root as well, but it does not work as well as when it is in root mode. There's a lot of customization that you play around with in this setting and I don't normally recommend it to the average user unless they wish to explore it. Also, f.lux made an Android app if you wish to try that out as well, but it only works in rooted Android devices.
Mac Os Download
I hope you found my post helpful in giving you less eyestrain from using devices throughout the day. I am positive that anyone who owns a device with a screen can benefit from having a blue light filter installed. If you have any questions or need some help installing, feel free to Contact Me!
