How to Apply Mineral Foundation

If you’re interested in trying out mineral makeup, there are several things you should keep in mind when applying it. To apply mineral makeup, first, cleanse your face using a gentle cleanser. Then, use a damp reusable cotton pad to pat dry your face. Next, apply a small amount of moisturizer to your face. Use a good-quality foundation brush to apply enough product to cover your face completely.

• Mineral foundation is really easy to use, the secret is to use just a tiny amount and add more if needed.
• Sprinkle a small amount into the tin lid or a plate.
• Swirl in your foundation brush.
• You need to keep swirling until the powder has worked its way into the brush and you can’t really see it.
• Apply to your face using a buffing motion.
• You can then build up the coverage until you get the desired effect.
