I discovered mineral cosmetics about 8 years ago. I fell in love with the airbrushed look and feel, yet full coverage (built in SPF and minimal ingredients also a plus) Also, because minerals are so concentrated and long lasting, they're more economical. I wish I had discovered them sooner, having endured years of expensive, heavy, mask-like, orange-turning foundations of the 1980s! Another plus is this makeup is virtually waterproof! I became a distributor for Classy Minerals in 2006 because they are the best products I have ever used.
I like to apply my mineral foundation with a large jumbo buffer or kabuki. I squirt a few pumps of my favorite Beauty Boost mineral setting spray into a small steel pinch bowl, tap out a bit of the liquid powder mineral foundation and sweep my brush in the mixture and then quickly apply to my face in circular sweeping motions until my desired coverage is achieved. I then add a bit more spray and tap in some Bisque concealer and apply with a concealer brush to areas that need more attention (under eyes, sides of nose etc)
To apply mineral blush less is more. I periodically dip my brush into a palette with a bit of blush , spray it 1-2 times with the setting spray and apply in a "3" shape for a watercolor finish. The next day I may only just spray my brush and apply , add more blush as needed.
One of my favorite eye looks is to apply an all-over wash of color to my eyelid and add a pop of color by lining with a bolder mineral color. Spraying your brush after it is dipped in the shadow will give you a wonderful foiled effect and also works well for lining the eyes. I then frame my eyes by shaping my brows with a brow brush and Dark brown mineral powder.
I finish and pull my look together with Beige Glow finisher mineral veil. Beige glow lends the perfect healthy 'dewy' finish for me, not too matte or too shimmery both of which are unflattering to fine lines and the like. Have you tried mineral cosmetics?
