on 2/26/2009 What brand produces the "mineral mist" you discuss? I've been to the Bare Minerals boutique and to the drugstore, but neither carry this product. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks!

"Hello, my name is Jessica. I'm a licensed aesthetician for the last two years. I'm here today explaining to you the application of makeup and now we're doing the finishing touches. With mineral makeup, you have to set the makeup, so whenever you?re on time crunch, you get your mineral base on, you put your eyeshadow on, and you put on your lipstick and then it would be time to do a porcelain powder and this helps to make sure that your skin stays smooth and any types of blemishes do not pop up. And it is a loose powder, you can shake it onto the end and you would brush it gently over the face. You do not do the circular motion, brushing gently more in the T-zone if you are oily, gentle brushes all the way down into the neck to make sure that you don't look like you have on a mask. And always to ensure that the eyebrows stay nice after you have used your powder, go back in, give them a light brushing and adding color if you need it. And the most important step of the mineral makeup is the distilled water or here we have Mineral Mist, whichever one will work for you is o.k. You move your hair out, misting from a little bit of a distance, but you want to moisten the face but no dripping and then try not to make any expressions, you want it to dry as flat as possible, you can use a hairdryer, you can also use a regular fan to get that to set quicker, but try not to talk or do too much to make sure that it will not set into your wrinkles. And then after that gets dry then you're ready to go."
