Mineral Setting Powder

Setting powder can be used to prime your face for long lasting oil control, simply apply setting powder, and then apply your foundation on top.

For maximum oil absorption and to reduce the appearance of large pores, apply Setting Powder with a cosmetic sponge before foundation application. Press and roll the sponge into the skin for best results and a smooth appearance.

For long lasting, matte finish, simply dust your Setting Powder over your foundation with a kabuki brush.

To prime lips and eye area for long lasting makeup, apply with a suitably sized brush (kabuki for large areas or eyeshadow brush for smaller areas), then apply colour.

Mineral Foundation

When it comes to Mineral Foundations, most are natural and do not contain fillers, this makes them concentrated and thus a little goes a long way.

Allow your moisturiser to completely soak in and penetrated the skin before applying the mineral foundation, this promotes a smoother coverage. Mineral foundation powders glide beautifully onto dry skin and then work with your natural oils to create a smooth look.

To apply:

• Step 1 – Dip your Kabuki Brush into the powder and work into the bristles ensuring the brush is evenly coated.

• Step 2 – Tap off the excess powder, turn the brush bristles up and tap lightly against a hard surface to settle the powder.

• Step 3 – For light coverage: apply in soft downward strokes all over the face. For heavier coverage: apply in a circular buffing motion over your whole face.

The secret to applying mineral cosmetics professionally is a good Kabuki brush. However a latex sponge is excellent for creating a matte finish.

There is no need to add more mineral makeup to the brush when working around the eye area, as it may settle in the lines around your eyes and highlight those crow’s feet!

If you apply your mineral make up in very sheer layers, the light refracting qualities of the pure minerals will cover your skin naturally and allow your inner beauty to shine forth.

Dry flaky skin can be addressed easily by blending your mineral foundation with a good liquid primer. First moisturise as usual, and then tap a small amount of powder into the palm of your hand and add a tiny amount of primer; blend the products together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency Apply using the tips of your fingers or make up sponge.

A good organic facial mist or spritz is a great way to keep your make up moist particularly if you have very dry skin. This acts as a huge glass of water for your skin by re hydrating it and stopping a dry or flaky look. Use a flocked sponge in a downward motion to lightly smooth your make up and minimise the appearance of large pores.

Mineral Make up can be applied after certain facial work and treatments and with the soothing and calming properties of zinc, mineral cosmetics are the only cosmetics recommended by leading beautician’s, dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons.

Mineral Bronzer & Blush Powder

• Step 1 – Dip your Kabuki Brush into the powder and work into the bristles ensuring the brush is evenly coated.

• Step 2 – Tap off the excess powder, turn the brush bristles up and tap lightly against a hard surface to settle the powder.

• Step 3 – Bronzer, apply in light downward strokes to areas of your face where the sun would naturally hit your face. Such as your cheeks, chin, and T zone. Apply your Blush in the same way to your cheek bones, and blend downward towards the outer corner of your lip and upward in a circular motion to the outer corner of your eye.

You can apply the powder to your face or body. Bronzers are a safe and effective alternative to a fake tan. It works well on your chest and arms. So that the fine hairs and pores of your skin to lay flat, apply your bronzer or blush in downward strokes (ie with the natural direction of your hair). Even if you’re aiming for maximum coverage, several light layers are better than one thick one.

Bronzer can also be used to ‘warm up’ your foundation. Use sparingly over the face area concentrating on the areas that the sun would naturally hit. The secret to using mineral makeup is to apply it in very sheer layers. It is the light refracting qualities of the pure minerals that give it the ability to cover the skin naturally and allow your inner beauty to shine forth.
