How to Apply Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation
Mary Kay is an upscale cosmetics brand sold by individual representatives rather than commercially by drug stores and department stores. One of the brand's newer products is Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation, a flesh-colored loose powder made from crushed minerals. The coverage that the product provides relies on your application technique. If you use too little, it gives very thin coverage, while an improper blending technique can make your face look unnatural. The correct method ensures that you get the coverage you want without going overboard and caking it on. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Tighten the lid of your Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation to ensure that it is secure. Turn the container upside down quickly so the powder moves through the sifter.
-
2
Return the container to the upright position and unscrew the lid. Turn the lid upside down quickly, with the inside facing up, and place it into the palm of your hand or on a flat surface. A large portion of the powder sifts onto the inside of the lid so, if you don't reposition the lid in this manner, you risk spilling some of the powder.

3
Sweep a large fluffy makeup brush around the powder inside the lid, not inside the container, then knock the end of the brush against the lid or container to remove any excess.
-
4
Position the brush in the center of your forehead and sweep it gently from side to side. Drag the brush down the center of your nose and chin, then sweep it sideways to cover your cheeks and jaw.

5
Move the brush gently in circular motions across the entire surface of your face to blend the foundation into your skin. Repeat the entire process with additional light layers of Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation until you have the coverage you desire.

Tips & Warnings
Do not stick the brush into the powder directly out the sifter because the bristles will hold too much foundation that can look unnatural and get on your clothes.
Use other powdered cheek and eye color (either solid pressed powder or loose powder) rather than creams, liquids or gels--mixing the wet and dry textures can make them look thick and caked on.
Wash your makeup brush with baby shampoo every two weeks and lay it flat to dry, otherwise, mineral particles will build up in the bristles.
