How to Get Amazing Coverage From Your Mineral Makeup
One of the many misconceptions about mineral makeup
is that it doesn't offer proper coverage. Due to this myth,
many women miss out on the many benefits a pure mineral makeup can
offer their skin. It is very possible to cover blemishes,
sunspots, age spots, and red patchy skin when using the proper
products, tools and proper application.A Good Concealer
A good multitasking concealer is key to a flawless look. Mineral concealers are heavier in texture when compared to foundation, making it possible to cover imperfections while using less product. Concealer is used just prior to the foundation application. Concealer is only as good as the tool that is used to apply it. A concealer brush is essential to get the maximum benefit from your concealer. These brushes are firm and the bristles fit tight together in an effort to better hold the concealer product and prevent excess from escaping the brush. It is recommended to have two concealer brushes in your brush set. A smaller size for around the eyes, nose and mouth, and a larger size which could even include a flat application brush can be used for the cheeks, chin and forehead.
The Ultimate Application
Now that you have the product and tools necessary to achieve a flawless mineral makeup application, it is time to put those tools to work!
After waiting 5-10 minutes for your moisturizer to dry, begin applying your concealer with your concealer brush directly on top of the imperfections you wish to cover. The application is similar to the foundation application. First you swirl your brush into the concealer. You will really want to work it in so the product stays put in the brush. Tap the excess off the brush and apply. You may need to work the product onto the skin a few times before you see a visible difference, especially on sun and age spots. Your small brush will work best to cover the broken capillaries around the nose, under the eyes, and stubborn blemishes while the larger brush will work best over larger discolored areas on your skin. Don't be concerned if your skin looks spotty after using your concealer. Remember, your foundation's job is to even out your skin tone. Apply your foundation as normal working around the face in circles until you achieve the coverage you desire. If you still notice a difference between the areas you concealed and the rest of your face, you may want to reapply your foundation over those concealed until the skin appears more even. Finish by using a clean kabuki or large veil brush which will remove an excess product from your face that may be hiding around your nose, on your eyebrows and chin. This step will also keep your skin from looking "over powdered".
Time Saving Option
If after exercising the above steps you find you are looking for yet a fuller coverage, consider another option that may save you time as well as meeting your coverage expectations. Begin applying concealer as directed above. When you are ready to apply your foundation, try mixing an equal combination of your foundation and concealer.
