Apply your mineral foundation with a good soft foundation brush. There are two ways to get the minerals on your brush:
- Place the bristles of you brush against the holes in the top shaker jar and invert the jar, adding minerals to your brush. Revert the jar to it’s upright position and remove the brush from the holes, tap the brush against a hard surface to nestle the minerals within the brush head.
- Or tap a small amount of minerals into the jars lid and swirl the brush into it, then tap the brush onto the hard surface to embed the minerals.
To apply the minerals:
- Start at the hairline and swirl onto your face in downward motions over your cheekbones and towards the nose
- Start with a little and use more as needed. A little goes a long way.
Blemishes are a snap: Using a concealer brush, apply a small amount of Concealer directly to the area and blend well.
