Benefits
of Mineral Foundation
|
 |
Well, 5 years have
passed and I am proud to say I haven’t used liquid or cream
foundation since changing over to mineral make up. Why should I
be proud? Most women do not enjoy applying liquid foundation or
any other kind of creamy make up to their skin because of break
outs, irritation, unnatural look, wrinkles exaggerated, etc. I
was free from that dreaded make up ritual
Right away, after switching over to mineral make up, I saw a
huge difference in my appearance. I no longer looked like I had
on make up, yet my age spots, dark under eye circles, wrinkles
were less noticeable. It took me a few applications to get the
hang of it, but really it’s much easier to apply than
traditional make up.
Application Suggestions:
1. I suggest you start out with the basics. Most brands offer
kits that you can customize to fit your needs. Bare Minerals
suggest you have 2 foundation colors, 1 blush and setting
powder (Mineral Veil) It’s good to add a concealer (Bisque) if
you have age spots or dark circles.
To complete the look, you’ll need mineral eyeshadow and mineral
eyeliner. Since high school,
I’ve used Great lash Mascara, its works well and costs less. Of
course, you’ll need your favorite lipstick to complete your
fabulous new look.
2. It’s very important to make sure you have the right make up
brushes. Bare Minerals offers high quality brushes at very
reasonable prices, especially on Ebay and Amazon. Without the
correct type of make up brush, you won’t get the best results.
I use an over all application brush, blush brush, concealer
brush, one for eyeshadow and eyeliner. You can buy kits that
include all the make up and brushes we’ve talked about and
that’s another tip on saving you money.
3. The application of mineral make up may seem weird at first.
Blending is very important.
To begin, shake a small amount of foundation into the jar lid.
Swirl your foundation brush around to pick up the make up in
the lid, them tap the brush to remove any excess.
4. Now your ready to begin application. Take your brush and
start swirling it all over the face, buffing as you go. You can
add more make up to the brush and layer it on, controlling the
coverage you need. I like to apply my concealer after my first
pass with the foundation, then I’ll apply another swirl of
foundation over my concealer.
5. Blush is easy and fun to apply. Load the blush brush the
same way and swirl it around the cheek area. I like to go over
my nose for a hint of color. You’ll be surprised at how smooth
the blush goes on. Finish with a setting powder, like Bare
Minerals, Mineral Veil which gives you a nice polish to the end
result.
6. Mineral eye shadows and liners are very different from
traditional make up. Apply your eye shadow, then use the
special flat brush to line your eyes with mineral liner. If you
wet the brush, the liner will glide right on.
7. Finish off with your favorite lipstick and mascara and then
check out the pretty lady in the mirror looking fabulously
sexy
Important Tips to Remember:
1. Always clean your brushes regularly, at least every few
weeks, to prevent chances for break outs from bacteria. I use
my face cleanser which does an excellent job. Put a small
amount of cleanser in your palm, wet the brush and swirl the
brush around while running cool water to wash away the make up.
I use a wash cloth to ring out excess water, then air dry the
brushes over night. My Bare Mineral Brush;s last for years when
cared for properly.
2. Find a high quality affordable cleansing regime, one I love
is Serious Skin Care - I'll share about this line of products
soon. You need a really good cleanser and a regular exfloation
to reveal fresh clean skin and allow your make up to look its
best.
I hope you'll give mineral make up a try and free yourself from
liquid foundation like I did. Your skin will love it and you'll
get noticed for your beautiful glowing skin For the majority of
us, mineral make up is a wonderful refreshing change to the
traditional old way of wearing make up.
