Tips for using face makeup

Foundation gives you a flawless base for your face, giving your skin a healthy uniform color, texture, and appearance. Use a foundation that matches your skin tone. Remember, the golden rule with mineral makeup is that a little goes a long way. Start with clean skin. If you use moisturizer, make sure it has been fully absorbed before applying mineral cosmetics.

Conceal Flaws - Tap a small amount (a nickel size) of your foundation into the lid of your container. Sweep up the foundation in the lid using our Ultimate Concealer and Blending Brush. Lightly brush over areas of your face to cover skin issues, acne, broken blood vessels, discoloration and dark circles under your eyes until you achieve the coverage you desire.

Apply Foundation - Before you get started please know that mineral foundation should NOT be applied wet, using fingers, in large quantities or on damp skin - this will produce a cakey, uneven application. Our mineral foundations are highly concentrated and need to be applied in very small quantities, using a good dense bristle brush such. Follow the steps below for flawless coverage.

TAP a small amount of powder (a nickel size) into the top of the powder container or similar small dish.

SWIRL your quality powder brush into the powder until you have swept up all the powder from the top.

TAP your brush lightly on the side of the top with the head of the brush facing upwards. This will allow the powder to sink into the brush bristles.

SWEEP the powder filled brush firmly across your clean dry skin starting with your forehead, nose, chin (T-zone) and working outwards in a light circular motion.

Repeat the above steps until you get the coverage you desire.

Tinted moisturizer - Multi-tasking foundation also blends beautifully with your moisturizer for a creamy tinted moisturizer. This application is best for people who have dry skin, don't need a lot of coverage and just want a hit of color. Simply tap a VERY small amount of foundation into your hand. Add a drop of moisturizer and blend until smooth. Apply to your face using your fingertips or cosmetic sponge.
