Mineral Makeup applications and uses

This article is meant as a self help general know how on the application and uses of essential mineral makeup.

Foundations:

The best way to apply an essential mineral foundation is with a kabuki brush, or

you can use a powder brush if the hairs are not to loosely apart. You can either tap some mineral powder in your lid and swirl the brush in the powder or dip your brush in the powder and then swirl it in the lid. Gently tap off excess powder on the edge of your lid, with bristles pointed upward. Then begin at the jaw line and in circular motions apply in thin layers until you get the desired coverage you want. You don't want to begin at the center of your face, or the powders will get into your lines and creases. If you still have a few spots that need covering, just take your concealer brush, dip into powders, and apply to necessary areas. Foundations may also be applied with a damp sponge.

Finishing Powders:

Finishing powders are applied as you would a foundation. You may use heavier coats on oily areas.

Blushes:

Using your blush brush simply swirl and tap in your lid and apply to cheeks. You can also use to contour differ

ent parts of the face such as jaw line, parts of brow, nose, ect. You can apply more than one coats if you desire more color intensity.

Bronzers:

Tap some powder in your lid, swirl and tap your brush, and apply lightly to forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. You can also use for contouring jaw line and parts of brow. In the winter you can also use your tan foundation as a light bronzer.

Multi-Use Colors (Shimmers and Mattes)
Eyeshadow:

Use a small brush or sponge applicator to apply shadow over your eye lids, or in the creases, for contouring effect. Apply more than one color if desired.
