"Hi, I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to apply a mineral makeup. We can also build the coverage of our mineral makeup. We did one application on her, she still has a little bit of pink in her cheeks so we're just going to give her a little bit of a fuller coverage. So again, we're just going to take another small amount in our lid. We're going to take our brush - we're going to swirl it again, tap off any excess, and then we'll just apply more to the skin in a circular motion. And, if you work in your small increments like that making sure that you are only putting a small amount in the lid and you are swirling it up into the brush and then you're buffing it into the skin. You can use as much as you want to get your desired coverage which is really nice because if you are a person who prefers more of a sheer coverage you can put just one application on and you're good to go. But, if you are a person who likes a fuller coverage you can building it until you're happy with the amount of coverage that you get. So I would say this is about a moderate coverage for her. She doesn't have too much to cover. We just wanted to smooth out some of the pink in her cheeks. So, you can see it gives her a really nice, even, natural look. It doesn't look like she has any makeup because we have matched her to a perfect shade she doesn't have any line of discoloration or demarcation along the jaw line. It blends in perfectly with her neck. It doesn't really look like she has a full face of makeup on because that is what the minerals do. Because they actually bind to the skin, become one with the skin, they don't lay on top so it doesn't look like she has a full face of makeup on. And it actually helps the makeup wear because of the binding technology helps it wear really well. So in heat and humidity, perspiration, it won't melt off of your face. It is also transfer resistant so it won't come off on your clothing or anything like that."
