How To Apply Mineral Makeup

Eye Application
Started by applying an under-eye concealer on your under-eye area and your lids, using a powder brush. Switch to an oval brush and apply a neutral color all over the lid. In the crease, using the same brush, add a richer color.

For a final touch, turn a charcoal eye shadow into an eyeliner by wetting the ends of a thin-tipped eyeliner brush. Dipping the brush in the powder and using the eye color’s lid as a mixing container, draw on the color as close to the lashes as possible.

Skin & Cheek Application
Test for a suitable foundation color along your jawbone. Once you find the right shade, apply the foundation all over your face with a powder brush, making sure to shake off the excess powder and blend thoroughly. Two to three thin layers of foundation work better than a single heavy application.

For the cheeks, chose a shade that complements your lip color. Apply the blush using upward strokes, starting from the apple of the cheekbone and moving toward the hairline.

Lip Application
To give sculpted lips a natural look, use a lip pencil to outline them. Outlining gives the lips a defined edge and stops the color from “bleeding” over the lip line. Then blend the edges slightly before filling the lips in with matching lip polish. Allow the color to set for a few minutes, then finished with a sheer topcoat of gloss.
