Flawless makeup application. Read on for mineral makeup application tips and techniques! Whether you have chosen to start with our Mineral Veil or the Crushed Mineral Foundation formulas, these same general application techniques apply. Apply your chosen foundation with a brush and get lighter coverage. Use a makeup sponge or flocked sponge and the coverage will be heavier.You can achieve even heavier coverage by applying your minerals over a well-moisturized face, or create a tinted moisturizer by adding some of your foundation mix to your favorite lotion. As long as the final outcome works for you, there is no right or wrong way to apply minerals. Brushes and sponges of varying types all work. It all comes down to personal preference and how much coverage you are seeking. That said, we do, however, recommend applying your foundation with our Delectable Kabuki Brush. These little handle-less brushes are very dense and do an excellent job of picking up and evenly distributing the crushed mineral onto the skin. You can also use a fluffy powder brush for a lighter dusting of foundation than a kabuki brush provides. With either brush type, the application process is the same: With a flocked sponge or makeup sponge, the process is similar, but you can vary the coverage by changing the way you apply it to your face. Experiment with patting, rolling and stroking your foundation on. For a different look, try applying your foundation with a damp sponge. You can also use a clean flocked sponge to smooth on that flawless look after applying crushed minerals with a brush. Using downward strokes minimizes the look of pores and causes those fine little facial hairs to lie down and disappear! A taklon foundation brush, designed for applying liquid foundations, works great when applying a mix of crushed mineral foundation and serum or moisturizer. You can also apply your homemade liquid foundation with your fingertips or a sponge. Mineral Make Up is Beautiful and if you haven’t tried it yet…you simply must.
