How to Apply Natural Mineral Makeup Foundation

People are turning to natural mineral foundations because of the superb quality and results, the ease of application, and the health benefits to their skin. Mineral makeup is made from pure mineral pigments, not oils, chemical dyes or preservatives. Mineral foundation is weightless and won't irritate your skin. Here's how to apply it.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Prepare your skin for the natural mineral foundation by washing with a gentle cleanser, using toner, and applying a moisturizer with sunscreen and allowing it to be completely absorbed.

2. Use a pore minimizer, primer or a concealer before you apply the natural mineral foundation to polish the surface of your skin and allow the foundation to glide on effortlessly. It will help give your face a flawless finish.

3. Apply natural mineral foundation with a sponge if you need a lot of coverage, or use a powder brush for normal coverage.

4. Dip the applicator into the mineral foundation and then tap excess off on the edge of the container, or by turning the brush upside down and tapping the end of the handle on your hand or countertop.

5. Start at the outside edges of your face and work inward, in a circular motion. Add one layer of foundation at a time. The powder is concentrated so it takes very little to get the results you want.

6. Blot off excessive foundation with a tissue if you accidentally apply too much.

Tips & Warnings

• Mix the powder with your favorite moisturizer if you prefer working with a liquid foundation.
• A natural mineral foundation with zinc oxide will actually help heal acne.
