"Hi, I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to apply a mineral makeup. Now I'm going to set our mineral makeup look with a little bit of a translucent finishing powder. It's a really nice, fine milled powder, it won't do anything too heavy and we're going to use our powder brush for this. So we are going to swirl our powder brush, a little bit of this. Because this is translucent and this is really fine we don't have to worry about getting too much on our brush. We're just going to brush this over the face. It will set the makeup. It will blend everything together really nicely. Gives her almost like a really nice airbrushed finish. It will minimize any pores in any areas that she has larger pores. We could just buff a little bit more of this and it will help soften the appearance of those pores. It will also soak up any oil shine throughout the day. So if you are a little bit more oily you want to make sure you put a good amount of this in the T-zone area which is the forehead, nose, and chin. This is also a great tool that you can use if you did happen to get a little too heavy on your cheek color or your bronzer, you can kind of buff it out a little bit with your finishing powder. You can see it just gives her a really nice, smooth, airbrush finish and it brings the whole look together."
