How To Apply Mineral Makeup - How To Apply Mineral Foundation

 

1. The quickest method is the dry method.

If you’re using sample baggies or jars the method will be the same.  What you need to remember is Luxury Minerals eye colors are loose powders.  If you are not careful with your new products, spillage is likely. Sifters are in all cosmetic jars unless otherwise noted.

A.      Dip natural bristle eye shadow brush into baggie or jar.  Gently tap off all extra powder, and lightly apply, by tapping, color to preferred area.

B.      Tapping off ALL excess powder before application is important.  This prevents waste, and loose powder from migrating elsewhere.  A few practices and you’ll apply like a Pro!

 

2. Foiling known as wet/paste applying.

A.      Use your product lid, so when you’re finished the mineral powder remaining isn’t wasted and can be tapped back into sifter jar.

B.      Using a clean natural hair eye shadow makeup brush, withdraw miniscule mineral eye powder and swirl in drop of water in the lid.  If you too much water has been used, add more powder until you’ve achieved a nice creamy consistency.

C.      Use side of lid, remove excess mineral product from application makeup brush, gently tapping with brush to appropriate area of eye.  Color may appear to grab and streak, this is normal.  Once mineral powder is dry, seconds later, blend color on eye lid lightly with a dry brush. 

 

3. If you are using our “Mineral Makeup Powder Liners” use the wet method listed above with a fine makeup taklon brush, sizes vary for desired effect.  A more dramatic look is achieved by applying mineral dry powder in same/contrasting color directly over wet eyeliner or slightly above line, white or pearl white will make eyes pop when applied to inner ¼ of eye area.

4.  Our lip colors also make great, healthy cheek colors.  With ingredients such as Shea butter, cocoa butter, macadamia nut oil, just to name a few.

Apply Mineral Makeup Foundation Tips

 

Luxury Minerals foundations, concealers, and setting powders are compact inside sifter jar containers.  You may need to loosen powder.

 

Carefully remove container lid, and inner sifter.  Replace lid on container, shake container upside down with lid on lightly tapping to loosen product.  Upright container and again carefully remove lid.  When replacing inner sifter, be careful.  Most clientele do not replace the sifter, but use their larger vanity jar, tapping small increments of mineral foundation daily.  Vanity and sifter jars are locatable on our website at www.luxurymineralmakeup.com.

 

Always take adequate time when learning to work with your mineral powder makeup.

 

Listed below you will find various methods of application for your minerals.  We know you will appreciate the evenness and concentration of our powders as they allow you light to heavy application where needed.

 

Dry Mineral Makeup Powder Application #1

1.       (sifter insert in container)  With lid on, softly tap or shake product upside down into lid, if you don’t have one of my sweet, vanity foundation mixing jars, this is a fast, easy method to use.

2.       Right container.  This allows just the right amount of powder to enter the container between the sifter and lid.  Some women like to tap the powder into the lid; some prefer to leave it in sifter area.

3.       Using flat part your mineral foundation brush or chiseled powder brush, gently tap side of brush into powder.  (Tap off excess powder(every time), or you will wasting product and end up with poor application and/or streaking.)

4.       Lightly tap powder onto areas of face where you need heavier coverage first (use a concealer brush if necessary.  Tap powder on the remainder of your skin where needed.  (We do not suggest covering the entire face with foundation, clients do not need to and the look like paste faces and artificial.  Use your best judgment.  Mineral foundation should MATCH your facial/décolletage color area exactly, if it does not, the foundation shade is incorrect. 

Tap gently - the secret to dry method application

5.       After applying mineral powder to desired areas, use your large powder chisel brush to blend powder foundation gently.  Use light, short, quick downward strokes.

 

PREFERRED Dry Application Mineral Makeup Method #2

1.  Using the same method as directed above, substitute using a foundation flocked sponge, makeup sponge, or powder puff.  Some clients prefer using a kabuki, fan, or foundation brush for application.

 

Luxury mineral products do not require excessive use of brushes for buffing or “pushing” powder foundations into delicate facial skin that other mineral makeup cosmetics brands require.  Buffing in such a manner is unnecessary; it can be damaging facial skin. 

 

Using a harsh brush with poking bristles as found in some mineral makeup kits, can cause small abrasions thus allowing bacteria to enter skin.  This causes redness, itching, cystic acne, as well as skin infection.  Skin will become hardened and thicker due to the damage.  Do not use harsh natural or synthetic brushes when applying your mineral cosmetics products except where indicated necessary such as taklon eyeliner brushes/concealer brushes.

 

ALWAYS use the SIDES of a brush, NEVER use a brush straight on, that’s not it’s intended purpose no matter what some other makeup artist or book has told you.

 

Liquid Mineral Makeup Method #1

1.       Lightly spritz face with mineral/distilled water.   Hydrosol works well also, after you’ve tapped excess product from brush before you apply mineral powder to your face.

2.       If powder product dries out before you are finished, spritz again.

3.       Try substituting makeup foundation brush, flocked sponge, or mineral powder brush for your wet application also.

Hydrosols are sold in my skin care section.  www.skincare.raesinimages.com and are especially nice to carry with you for quick touch ups if needed, as well as their contributing to quenching and nourishing skin with antioxidants.

 

Liquid Mineral Makeup Method #2

1.       Mix a small amount of a moisturizer in with your mineral powder.  This offers a light liquid mineral makeup application.

 

Liquid Mineral Makeup Method #3

1.       Substitute distilled/mineral water for moisturizer.

Always clean application tools DAILY, use a gentle (Ivory or Dove) soap.  Do not use antibacterial soap if you want your brushes to last.  Harsh soaps dry out and damage natural oils in the brushes.  Lay brushes FLAT to dry.
