Prep your Face

This is an important step that many woman overlook. Proper Skin Care and a proper Skin Care regime are both extremely crucial for the health and well being of you skin! Washing your face thoroughly, will remove all traces of debris, makeup and oil. Exfoliating once a week to clean out your pores and remove dry skin is also important. Daily, you should wash, tone and apply moisturizer...makeup or no makeup. We can't stress enough how important this is, and how this should be part of our daily routine.

Foundation Primer

Stipple Foundation Primer all over face using a Kabuki or Flat Top Foundation Brush. Foundation Primer will provide long lasting foundation as well as minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Concealer

Apply concealer using a dabbing or blotting method.

For loose mineral Powdered Concealer, you would tap the concealer into the lid or onto a tissue, mix the brush into the powder. Once the concealer has been applied, blend out with a makeup sponge or finger.

For Creamy Concealer, you would apply in a dabbing motion blending as you would with any Concealer. When applying to your undereye area, you will want to start with the inside of the eye area and work outwards. Then work inwards from the outer corner of the eye to avoid maximizing the appearance of fine undereye lines.

Mineral Veil

Apply Mineral Veil using your Face Brush (Kabuki, Foundation or Powder Brush) using circular motions starting at the jaw line.
For beginners, divide the face into three sections, forehead, and two sides. Tap only a small amount of powder into your lid or on your application sheet, swirl your face brush into powder, tapping off any excess.
Repeat for each section of the face. This is will avoid any over use of Mineral Veil as well as Foundation. For extremely oily skin, dust as a finishing powder as well to keep shine free all day!

Foundation

Apply Foundation using the same method as Mineral Veil. When using Mineral Makeup, Foundation does not have to be the exact shade. Mineral Makeup Foundation will blend with the skin not cover it, so the exact shade is not needed, just the closest.

Bronzer

Apply Bronzer onto the T-Zone of the face (forehead, nose and onto the cheeks). Using your Kabuki or Foundation/Bronzing Brush applying powder to the brush using the swirl-tap method, sweep powder across T-Zone. Bronzing powder can also be used as a contouring agent.

Blusher

Apply Blush on the cheek bone of the face. Using you Kabuki, Blush or Contouring Brush (but best applied with Blush Brush) and using the swirl-tap method, apply darker blush in a sweeping motion back and forth onto cheek bone until desired effect is completed. Using a much lighter colour, apply over cheek and blend out the darker colour. Remember, not being able to tell where Blush begins and where it ends is very important. Remember to BLEND BLEND BLEND!

Brows (if applicable)

Using your Brow Definer Brush and your Spoolie Brush, comb up hairs to find natural arch of the brow. Using the appropriate brow colour, apply colour to the natural arch of the brow blending with your sponge, spoolie or finger to create a soft, natural effect. Then work from the start of your brow outward to the arch and then downward from the arch. Remember to blend!
