Tips for Mineral Makeup

Mineral Foundation:
Tap a small amount of powder into the lid of the container and swirl your Kabuki Brush into it. Tap the bottom of the handle with the brush head facing upward, to loosen powder that may settle into the brush. Firmly spread powder on clean, dry skin to evenly blend pigments. Always apply the minerals in a thin layer sweeping over the face and neck. Keep adding layers until the desired depth of coverage has been reached, although two layers of the mineral foundation are usually sufficient. For blemishes, there is no need for a separate concealer, simply apply a small amount to the problem area and blend well. For those with dry, flaky skin, loose mineral foundation can be blended with facial cream to create a cream foundation or concealer as required (simply tap a small amount of powder into the palm of the hand. Add a pea-sized amount of your moisturiser; blend the two together until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved). Then using clean fingers apply to your skin with downward strokes to minimize the appearance of your pores.

If you are going to apply your loose mineral foundation to bare skin it may help to mist your face with a Floral Water Toner or moisturise prior to applying your mineral foundation powder, making sure that your skin is dry before applying the powder to the skin.

Choosing the right shade for me:
The best way to test for the right colour is to do it apply the mineral foundation along your jaw line in natural daylight. The colour should disappear if it blends perfectly with your skin tone.

Our Mineral Foundations will not run, crease, smear and they are water proof. There is no special cleanser required to clean your mineral makeup off.

Loose Mineral Blushes:
These are very concentrated and should be applied sparingly. The simplest way to apply them is with a cotton ball or a flat top brush. Press the cotton ball or brush onto the sifter, and then tap the jar so a little bit of blush powder gets on the cotton ball. Then gently glide the colour over the apples of the cheek, and blend.
