At the bottom line, the basic essential to the world of mineral make-up is that the products are entirely fluid free and are largely dry. This is in itself a mechanism that dispenses away with a plethora of harmful chemicals that are often found as preservatives. The bottom line is that mineral make-up is a lot more skin friendly than its counterparts in the world of non-mineral make-up products.
How to apply:
Applying mineral make-up can be a little different from the application of other forms of make-up.
- The first step one has to keep in mind always is to moisturise your skin before applying the make-up products. Mineral make-up sticks to your skin with the help of the natural oil in your skin. Naturally, if your skin is dry, the powder might wind up hanging on your skin as loose powdery flakes. Moisturise beforehand and allow the powder to settle in on your skin.
- The second thing one must keep in mind is that mineral make-up is not like liquid make-up in that you can spread it by hand. Use a fairly large brush to spread the make-up evenly and uniformly on your skin to attain a uniform tone and effect.
- Thirdly, it is important to ensure that you cover all the intricate spaces of your face – while a large brush is perfect in spreading the make-up across most of your face, the inferior brush is a must to cover the smaller and lesser prominent areas of your face.
- Fourthly, make sure to dust off (lightly, of course!) all the extra flakes of powder.
