How To Apply Mineral Makeup

9:04 PM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »


Mineral makeup is nothing but a foundation or base in the ‘guise’ of a loose powder. It’s called mineral makeup because it comprises of minerals like bismuth oxychloride, mica, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Mineral makeup should not be mistaken for talc. Unfortunately, there has always been confusions between talc-based powders and mineral makeup. Now comes the time to do away with all confusions and cases of ‘mistaken identities’. Although talc is a mineral and in terms of its components can be considered a mineral makeup, most mineral makeup products are free of talc. This demarcates the obvious difference between a talc-powder and mineral makeup.

Most women use liquid foundation creams because they are simply unaware of the advantages of mineral makeup. Women are also clueless on how to apply mineral makeup. It really is not as difficult as it may seem to be. Following few simple steps will help you use mineral makeup to advantage. Read on to gain access to instructions on how to apply mineral makeup.
Tips On Applying Mineral Makeup

Moisturize Your Face
It is extremely important to apply mineral makeup on skin that is moisturized. This is because applying mineral makeup or powder on dry skin will cause it to look dry and flaky. It’s a powder after all. For best results, apply a good moisturizing agent on your face ten minutes before applying your makeup. Applying mineral makeup right after you’ve moisturized your face can cause the makeup to melt and that’s not something you would want.

Foundations And Eye Liners
Now pour a small amount of foundation into the cap of the jar. This will help you use just as much as you should and prevent you from using more than you should. Make it a point not to use more than a pinch or so of foundation on your face. Proceed to line your eyes with eyeliner. Use a kabuki brush to lightly brush off the excess powder on your cheeks.

Cover Blemishes
You will definitely need your foundation to cover up the blemishes on your face. You literally will have to dab foundation cream onto your blemishes for this. Dab a fingertip-sized dollop of foundation on your face and rub it in to cover your blemishes. Also, make it a point to get rid of the excess foundation.

The Kabuki Brush
This is where your kabuki brush comes fully into play. The brush helps cover large areas of your face without making the makeup on your face look largely artificial. It’s important to have a good and reliable kabuki brush. Once you’ve got this covered, you can start applying the mineral makeup. Start off by applying the powder first on to your cheeks and then move on to the side of your face. You’ve also got to make it a point to not just brush the powder onto your face, but actually apply the same. Just brushing the powder onto your face will cause it to fall off, while actually applying it will ensure it sticks onto your skin. It may take you a few attempts to master the art of applying mineral makeup with a kabuki brush.

Setting Powder
To complete your ‘mineral makeup look’ use a setting powder. This will prevent the mineral powder from melting. The makeup will hold together for longer periods of time when you use a setting powder. You can apply the setting powder just like you would a foundation or a base.

Additional Lip Tips

Lips and eyes are the most important focal points of your face so one must pay special attention to these areas while doing makeup. Here are some additional tips for your lips that you can use:
  • Lipstick staining your teeth makes you look extremely shabby. To avoid this, pucker your lips in an extreme 'O' and then apply the lipstick.
  • Even if your lipstick smudges to the insides of your lips, wrap your finger with a tissue and put it into your mouth, and twist it slowly to eliminate any extra color.
  • You can also highlight your lips by using a light film of eye shadow color coordinated with your lip color in the center of the upper and lower lips.
  • If one of your lips is larger than the other, balance the look by using the lighter shade of the lipstick on the smaller-sized lip.
  • Don't let your lipstick pass on to the utensils while dining by using your tongue and lower teeth and avoiding them to come in contact with your lips.
  • To smoothen the lips a little before applying lip color, rub them a little with washcloth gently.
  • Apply foundation on and around lips and then define the look of your lips using the lip liner.
  • If you lips are naturally full and large, don't use the lip liner though you can soften the edge using a Q-tip and avoid glossy and shiny lip color.
  • If you have thin lips, use light shades to make them appear fuller. Define the lip using the neutral lip pencil from slightly beyond your natural lip line and then apply lipstick covering up lip defining line. Another trick is to apply white shadow on center of both lips over lipstick very lightly and spread it gently.
  • If your upper lip is too thin or does not have a good shape, outline it with the lip liner similar to your lipstick and in the center portion, draw a second line giving it the precise shape using a brown pencil. Apply color including the brown line. This will make your lips look fuller.
  • To hide lip lines, apply lipstick vertically.

Beautiful every day

Your colleague looks so beautiful every day and you are not brave enough to ask her how she does that? If you are willing to follow some simple steps, you will look wonderful every single day as well. To tell you the truth, being beautiful and even elegant is easier than it might seem.

All you have to do is take care of yourself. For instance if you want to look beautiful you can't leave home with dirty hair. You must wash it every two days. If you have oily hair, wash them daily. Don't forget to visit your hair dresser constantly. Don't let your hair look greasy or untidy. It surely makes a bad impression.

Your nails are also very important. You would get surprised how much attention people pay to your hands. To think of it yourself, would you find a person with dirty or broken nails attractive? Probably not, so you're not an exception and if you want to be attractive, be very attentive to every little detail.

Be adequately careful with your clothing. You don't have to be super fashionable or stylish. Just make sure your clothes are clean and fresh and no matter what your style is, you will look nice. Don't forget to make sure your clothes are not too small and too shaggy for you, because it makes an impression of an untidy person.

When it comes to makeup, remember one rule: natural = beautiful. Yet, most women apply makeup everyday. It's ok, just make too much of it. Remember that there's a rather great difference between daily and evening makeup. Ladies who has beautiful skin should use only mascara and lipstick. Powder is acceptable only for those who have some skin problems.
