The better the preparation, the smoother the result. Makeup artist Cassandra McClure says: “Whatever foundation you use, you need to cleanse, tone, exfoliate and moisturize your skin. When using mineral cosmetics, this is necessary so that the powder lies flat on the surface of the skin, and not just on top of its dead cells. "

2 Moisturize your face. Mineral cosmetics will not take and will not stick to dry skin. Moisturizing your face will help fix your makeup and keep it looking throughout the day. Using clean fingers, apply moisturizer to your face and neck. Let the product soak for ten minutes.

If you have oily skin, consider using a mineral primer in addition to a moisturizer.

3 Apply mineral concealer to blackheads and blemishes. Concealer provides additional masking for blackheads and red spots. Use a concealer brush to apply this product. Paint over the areas you want to correct. Apply several thin coats of concealer in the desired area.

Use a green mineral concealer to hide red spots.
Apply a yellow mineral concealer to hide dark circles.
Apply a concealer that matches your skin tone.
This product must be applied before using the mineral tone.

1 Dip the kabuki brush into a mineral tone. Typically, the mineral base is applied with a kabuki brush. This large makeup brush is designed to apply mineral makeup in wide, circular strokes, while its short bristles provide maximum coverage. The brush can also apply a large amount of tone.
- Pour or shake out a small amount of mineral powder into the container lid. You will need a lot less product than you think; a very small amount of it will cover a fairly large area.
- Dip the kabuki brush in a spinning motion to completely coat it with mineral powder on all sides.
- Press the brush against the lid to remove excess powder.

"

Tips

The tone may look a little loose after the first application. Within minutes after application, it will settle on your skin and take on a natural texture.
If you don't have a kabuki brush, you can use a smaller powder brush.
The use of mineral cosmetics will be a lifesaver for you if you have acne, eczema or other skin conditions, as it contains fewer ingredients than traditional cosmetics. Most mineral cosmetics have soothing properties to help relieve these conditions.

Warnings

It is not recommended to go to bed without washing off ANY type of makeup before doing this, as the chemicals contained in the cosmetics can harm your skin. During sleep, the pores of the skin open and regenerate, so before that it is imperative to wash your face. You can cleanse your skin with plain water if you are not using other types of makeup.
Some people are allergic to minerals. Itching or redness of the skin appears, so not everyone can use this type of tone.
Some brands claim that their cosmetics contain UV filters, but you can still use sunscreen if you plan to be outdoors.
