"Hi, I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to apply a mineral makeup. So now that we have swirled in and tapped off any excess mineral makeup we have the perfect amount on our brush we are going to apply it on the skin. We are going to start at the forehead. We're going to kind of apply in little circular motion and you want to work around the outer perimeter of the face first in a small circular motion. Then you can work your way in. It's kind of the opposite of how you would apply a liquid or a regular powder foundation because we don't want too much concentration of the minerals to be sitting right here on the inner area of the face. Because, this is where people have the tendency to have the larger pores and that type of thing. So, we don't want too much of the makeup to be sitting on that area. This will just keep it from settling in any of the pores. If you remember we swirled for a long time so there's a lot of minerals up into the bristles of this brush, so we can buff for a long time to get coverage. So when you swirl that tiny amount that was in the lid up into those bristles there's usually enough that you can go around the face a good three or four times. So you want to make sure that you are buffing around a few times before you got back to get anymore makeup. This will just give you a more natural look."
