How to Use Mineral Powder Foundation

Over the past few years, mineral powder foundation has grown in popularity. Because of its natural-looking coverage, mineral foundations have gained a reputation as being more effective than traditional liquid foundations and pressed powders. Mineral powder makeup does not contain any preservatives, oil, talc or unnatural fragrances that may irritate sensitive skin. In fact, some users claim that over time mineral foundations actually improve the overall quality of their skin.

Things You'll Need

• Mineral powder foundation
• Large, round makeup brush

Instructions

1. Dip the brush into the container to pick up the powder foundation.

2. Gently tap off excess powder back into the container.

3. Dot the powder on your nose, apples of the cheeks, chin and forehead.

4. Using a circular, swirling motion with the brush, gently buff the foundation all over your face.

5. For areas that need more coverage, dot a little more powder and massage in until the desired coverage is achieved.

Tips & Warnings

• Use the brush to blend the powder into your neck for flawless coverage.

• Avoid the eye area during application as the powder may cause irritation if particles enter the eye.
