Tips to Acheive the Perfect Look with Mineral-Based Cosmetics.
Due to the loose powder texture of mineral makeup, it may be tempting to just dab it on like you would with loose powder, but don't! Mineral make-up is much less transluscent than loose powder and is meant to be worn as foundation, so you need to apply it sparingly and build it in stages to acheive the ideal look.
Here is how to do it:
1. Spill a small amount of product onto a tissue. You don't need much and can always add more later.
2. Take your Kabuki brush and dab it into the powder. Rotate the bristles down into the powder, working the product up into the brush. You want to get the powder into the bristles rather than sitting on the tips. When there's no powder visible on the tips of the bristles, you're ready to apply it.
3. Starting at the centre of your face (your forehead is a good place to start) buff the brush against your skin in a circular motion, working towards the edges of your face.
4. Continue to buff until you need to add more product. You should only need to add more once or twice during the application. Less is more!
5. The buffing motion is key to the flawless application. It works the minerals into your skin so they adhere and blends it out so that its the same consistency everywhere on your face.
6. To use the mineral make-up powder as concealer, simple dip your concealer brush or finger into the powder and apply it to the area you wish to conceal. If it's your undereye, be very gentle when applying it. You can use the Kabuki brush afterwards to smooth out any excess in the area.
