Steps
to Flawless Beautiful Flawless Skin with Mineral Makeup.
Step
#1
: Swirl.
Take a small amount of the foundation and sprinkle it in the lid of the
jar. Remember natural minerals are very concentrated so a little goes a
long way. Swirl the application brush around in the lid until the brush has
absorbed all of the minerals.
Step
#2: Tap. Gently tap the excess minerals from the brush.
This will take away any excess minerals from the brush so that only a thin layer
will be applied - giving you a natural look.
Step
#3: Buff. The last step is to buff the minerals
on your skin. To buff means to apply the minerals to your face in small circular
patterns with the brush in an upward and outward motion.
Note:
After the foundation and concealer have been applied, use an even smaller
amount for the more concentrated minerals like Warm
Autumn and Soft
Rose.
These minerals are all over
face colors that brighten up your face and add a touch of color to your
skin.
Only a little is needed.
Blush,
Eyeliner

Hint
#1: Before applying the foundation
minerals (Foundation 3pc,
4pc,
6pc or
8pc Sets), use steps 1-3 for the concealer.
With
a small concealer Brush, use steps 1-3 to cover blemishes, dark circles and
uneven tones in the skin. To rid the dark circles, uneven tones in the skin,
please see Beauty
Guides: Skin Basics and Beauty
Guide: Acne Be Gone. This creates a beautiful smooth and sheer
finish for your face when the foundation is applied.
Hint
#2: If you seem to keep getting a heavy powdered look, there are a couple of
things you can do. First, try using less minerals on the brush at one time. You
should not be able to see the minerals on the brush before you apply it to your
skin. The natural minerals are buildable, meaning, you can always add another
layer and then another if the coverage is not enough. Secondly, your skin
may need a good moisturizer before you apply the minerals. Make sure you let the
moisturizer dry completely before you apply the minerals dry or it will not give
you the sheer look that you want. Thirdly, Make sure your skin is free
from excess old skin. A good loofa or showering gloves will work just fine. See Beauty
Guide: Exfoliation for more on this topic. Lastly, you can try applying the
minerals wet. Take a few drops of water or your favorite lotion and add to the
foundation and mix. Apply to the face and let dry. buff off excess with a
cosmetic sponge. This can give you a beautiful powder free matte look.
Have
fun experimenting with minerals and remember that natural mineral makeup is very
versatile. Blushes can be used for shadows and shadows for blushes etc.
Your creations with the minerals are endless!
