Mineral Foundation Application

One of our favorite ways to apply is a moist application.  This works well on all skin types and looks like your own, flawless skin when you're finished.  Always work on top of a good moisturizer or serum so as not to wick moisture from your skin and to help your foundation stay in place.  Begin by spritzing your face with our Copper Drops or pure water and buff your clean brush (we suggest our Flat Top Foundation and Powder Brush or our Round Top Blending and Blush Brush) over your entire face so that both the brush and your face are damp but neither one wet.  Next swirl or tamp your brush into the minerals in the lid of your jar and tap off any excess.  Buff the powder onto your face gently.  If you feel you need heavier coverage, you can spritz the palm of your hand and swirl your brush in the moisture and then pick up more powder with your damp brush.  Lightly buff the areas where you need more coverage.  The next step is to cover any blemishes not fully concealed by the foundation. I like to use a crease brush to barely touch some loose powder or concealer onto any spots that need coverage but you can choose from a variety of brushes here.  I then take my foundation brush and touch (not buff) over the spots to blend.  If you find some heavier areas that didn't blend as well, lightly tap them with your brush or blend ever so gently.  You'll be amazed at the coverage and how it looks as if you had no makeup on at all and just have amazing skin...which might just happen with the continued use of natural products!  Follow with our Copper Drops as a finishing spray if desired.

You can always use the Mineral Melt in the typical, dry fashion if that is your preference.   Beginning with a moisturized face, tap some product into the lid of your jar, swirl your brush (we suggest our Flat Top Foundation and Powder Brush or our Round Top Blending and Blush Brush) into the powder and tap off the excess.  Lightly buff or tap your minerals onto your skin and blend them gently.  Too much buffing can take the minerals off of your skin when you use this technique so don't get carried away!  Follow with our Copper Drops as a finishing spray if desired.
