Get Perfect Makeup

Have you tried to match liquid makeup to your skin tone? Or have you broken out after trying makeup purchased from the drug store because of all the chemical ingredients? Is it impossible to cover blemishes with your current makeup? Try mineral makeup and achieve flawless looking skin while avoiding fillers, chemicals, and preservatives. It is creamy mineral powder that nourishes skin and feels weightless while giving you a perfect looking complexion.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Foundation
  • Warmth Bronzer
  • Blush
  • Mineral Veil
  • Eye Shadow
  • Kabuki brush
  • Full Flawless Face Brush
  • Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
  1. Step 1
     

    Apply foundation. Choose a bareminerals foundation powder that matches your skin tone and apply with a dense large head brush (kabuki brush). Tap a little powder onto the foundation jar’s cap and press and swirl the brush in the powder. Apply all over your face in a small circular motion.

  2. Step 2
     

    Apply warmth bronzer. Use a loose large head brush (full flawless face brush). Apply a small amount over face, neck, and d'ecollet'e. Contour your face by applying to the contours/hollows of your cheeks. This baremineral makeup warmth bronzer will give your skin a natural glow.

  3. Step 3
     

    Apply blush. Use a loose large head brush and lightly brush blush diagonally from the apples of your cheeks (the rounded area that pops up when you smile) to your temples. This will give your skin a natural, light blush.

  4. Step 4

    Apply mineral veil. Use a loose large head brush and apply all over face to reduce any shine and give your skin a natural finish.

  5. Step 5
     

    Cover dark circles and imperfections. Use a maximum coverage concealer brush to brush foundation powder over dark circles, blemishes, and any skin imperfections. This max coverage brush will camouflage all your flaws.

  6. Step 6

    Apply eye shadow. Choose a tint and shade of one hue, preferably a neutral hue. Apply the tint all over the eyelid up to the brow bone. Apply the darker shade to just below the brow bone.

Tips & Warnings
  • This makeup is good for any skin tone, no matter how dark or light.
  • Bareminerals.com offers this ‘find your shade’ service to find which foundation shade is right for you.
  • Save money and buy these products at sites like Amazon.
