How To Apply Natural Mineral Makeup To Bring Out Your Flawless Beauty

The basics of your flawless beauty begins with a clean, healthy and even-toned complexion. First, lets deal with clean skin. Dirt, oils and dead skin cells can greatly affect the way the appearance of healthy skin looks. So step one begins with a good loofah or pair of showering gloves. While in the shower, let your facial skin absorb the heat from the shower. After about 5 minutes, the steam will soften the skin’s outer layer which allows for easy removal of the surface dead cells.

Caution: Do not over scrub with the showering gloves or loofah, this can leave the skin red and irritated. The skin should be gently touched. A little practice and you will have it down.

After gently using the showering gloves, apply your favorite cleansing scrub to remove any surface dead skin cells that still remain. Applying the scrub in the warm shower or just after the shower (with the steam still in the bathroom) will help add moisture back into your skin.

The dead skin cells on the surface of your face can greatly dull your facial appearance. By not properly removing these dead surface cells, your skin’s texture will attract even more dirt and oil. It also blocks oils from getting out of your skin naturally. White bumps can result from not exfoliating your skin regularly. The white bumps can be from a collection of oils that are trapped under the dead surface skin. By gently removing the surface dead skin while showering, you brighten your complexion while letting your skin breath and exfoliate naturally. This applies to your whole body as well. To see if all dead skin cells are removed, feel your skin with your fingers (without gloves on) and it should feel smooth and clean. If your skin doesn’t feel completely smooth and clean, place a small amount of exfoliating cleanser on your hands and in a gentle circular motion apply it to your skin. Any left over dead surface skin that the gloves didn’t remove will be exfoliated with the cleanser.

acne needs to be addressed and defeated to pursue your flawless beautiful look. Start with good and reputable products and design your own acne solution System that fits you and your lifestyle. I have found that Proactiv has a wonderful treatment for problem skin . It works fast and is very gentle. I still use it to keep that radiant glow to my skin even though I don’t have acne anymore. Proactive also has a money back guarantee so if you find that it doesn’t work for you just send it back. It’s the best that I have found but the key issue is to find one that will work for you and fits in with your daily routine.

Dark spots need to be lightened so that your overall color blends flawlessly. Dark spots can come from exposure to the sun, genetics and a multitude of other ways. Lightening them up will make your overall color of your face blend and radiate with youthfulness. Preventing dark spots is much easier than correcting them. If you are prone to dark spots try preventing them, especially in the places you don’t want them…cheeks forehead or any "open" area of the skin….use sunscreen everyday. mineral makeup has natural sunscreen in it..zinc oxide. Remember zinc on the nose at the beach?

Wrinkles are less noticeable if they are well hydrated. Always apply plenty of quality eye moisturizer around the eyes or any wrinkle prone area.

Freckles can be concealed by using the mineral concealer BEFORE applying the foundation. This way you can lighten them up to your desired amount without looking made up. When the foundation is then applied it will have the effect of evening out your complexion for your beautiful flawless look.

Now you have the knowledge to get your complexion cleared up which will give you an even base to apply natural mineral makeup.

ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS:

Natural Mineral makeup should only include cosmetic grade ingredients and are of the highest quality. Here are some of the natural ingredients and what they do:

INCI or CI for short: International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient Name

Sericite (Mica): (CI77019) : This is a colorless powder (sometimes grayish) that is widely used as a base in mineral makeup. It has a low luster, can reflect light, adds slip (the way it feels smooth on your skin) and shine to the oxides and micas. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores & winkles due to the reflecting light capabilities. It has a very soft and silky feeling. NOTE: Winkles can greatly be reduced by a good moisturizer. Let the moisturizer dry completely before applying the minerals.

Titanium Dioxide: (CI77891) : Titanium Dioxide is one of the main minerals used in foundations, blushes, eye shadows, liners due to its super whitening effect. It adds adhesion to the mineral formulations (micas and oxides combinations). It provides an excellent natural sunscreen and produces a natural finish. Safe for use on eyes, face, lips and nails.

Zinc Oxide: (CI77947) : Zinc Oxide is used as a sunscreen in cosmetics & lotions. It has a super strength against UV-A and UV-B light. It soothes irritated skin and provides a high degree of coverage and adhesion in the mineral makeup.

Kaolin Clay: Kaolin Clay is a fluffy, white clay. It absorbs oil 1 and 1/2 times its weight and tones down mica and oxide pigments. It provides medium coverage, adds a creamy texture to your formulations and reduces shine as well. Kaolin Clay is great to use in Concealers as its coverage is outstanding.

Boron Nitride: brings a sheer finish to your mineral formulations and a silky soft feel when applied. It offers excellent adherence as well as a subtle shimmer.

Magnesium Stearate: is a naturally white alkaline with stearic acid and is used as a coloring mineral. It has a very fine texture and gives excellent adhesion to the mineral formulations. It improves the slip in your product.

Iron Oxide: (CI77999, CI77491, CI77492) : Iron Oxides are the minerals that add the beautiful colors to your shadows, liners, blushes and all of the other mineral formulations.

MINERAL APPLICATION TIPS:

Steps to Flawless Beautiful Flawless Skin with Mineral Makeup.

Step #1 : Take a small amount of the foundation and sprinkle it in the lid of the mineral jar. Remember natural minerals are very concentrated so a little goes a long way. Circle the application brush around in the lid until the brush has absorbed all of the minerals.

Step #2: Gently shake the excess minerals from the brush. This will take away any excess minerals from the brush so that only a thin layer will be applied - giving you a natural look.

Step #3: The last step is to apply the minerals on your skin. Apply the minerals to your face in small circular motions with the brush in an upward and outward pattern.

Note: After the foundation and concealer have been applied, use an even smaller amount for the more concentrated minerals. These minerals are all over face colors that brighten up your face and add a touch of color to your skin. Only a little is needed. Lastly, apply the translucent Mineral as a veil using steps 1-3. The finishing minerals will add softness to your sheer look for beautiful skin. The minerals are not a powder even though it looks like a powder. If used as a powder, you will find that it will look shiny and thick.

Other Helpful Hints

Hint #1: Before applying the foundation minerals, use steps 1-3 for the concealer. With a small concealer Brush, use steps 1-3 to cover blemishes, dark circles and uneven tones in the skin. This will lighten the dark circles, freckles & any uneven tones in the skin which will creates a beautiful smooth and sheer finish for your face when the foundation is applied.

Hint #2: If you seem to keep getting a heavy powdered look, there are a couple of things you can do. First, try using less minerals on the brush at one time. You should not be able to see the minerals on the brush before you apply it to your skin. Extra foundation layers can always be added if the coverage is not enough after the first thin layer. Secondly, your skin may need a good moisturizer before you apply the minerals. Make sure you let the moisturizer dry completely before you apply the minerals or it will not give you the sheer look that you want. Thirdly, make sure your skin is free from excess old dead skin. A good loofa or showering gloves will work just fine. Lastly, you can try applying the minerals wet. Take a few drops of water or your favorite lotion and add a small sprinkle of foundation to the mix. Apply to the face and let dry. buff off excess with a cosmetic sponge. This can give you a beautiful powder free matte look.

Have fun experimenting with mineral makeup and remember that natural mineral makeup is very versatile. Blushes can be used for shadows and shadows for blushes etc. Your creations with the minerals are endless!

Love your flawless skin!
