Mineral makeup is the current rave in the beauty industry. With minimal additives and perfumes, mineral makeup is supposed to be good for all types of skin ranging from dry to acne prone. While the concept of this growing trend is simple, there are certain things you need to know. Here are a few steps that will enable you to use mineral makeup to accentuate your own beauty.

- Skunk brush or kabuki brush
How to use Mineral Makeup to Accentuate Your Beauty
Step1
Do your research. There are many brands of mineral makeup out there including Bare Minerals, Sheer Cover and Everyday Minerals, just to name a few. In the world of mineral makeup, different brands really do make a difference. Some brands use more mica, which results in a glow. Other brands result in more of a matte finish. Since mineral makeup can be expensive, it’s best to do your research before you splurge.
Step2
Pick a shade of mineral makeup that matches your skin tone. With mineral makeup, you’re guaranteed a match because you have the ability to blend shades in order to get your perfect shade.
Step3
Vary your application technique based on the amount of coverage you want. Mineral makeup is very buildable. You can go from sheer cover to full coverage just by altering the way in which you apply your makeup. For full coverage, apply mineral makeup with a kabuki brush. Bare Essentials and Mac makeup have good quality makeup brushes. If you’re looking for a sheerer look, try using a skunk brush. Regardless of what brush you use, always apply your mineral makeup in thin layers. If you want more coverage, add more layers, and if you want lighter coverage, keep layers to a minimum.
Step4
Remember: Less is more. Learning how to correctly apply mineral makeup takes time. The key to mastering mineral makeup application is keeping in mind that less is truly more. If you apply the mineral makeup too heavily you will end up with a cakey look that may accentuate your pores. A very small amount of makeup is needed to cover the entire face.
Step5
Set your makeup with a finishing spray. While many mineral makeup brands come with a finishing powder, applying a finishing spray will not only set the product but also give you a dewy look. Mac’s Fix+ is a great product to use in conjunction with mineral makeup.
- Apply mineral makeup with a light hand.
- Always remember to apply mineral makeup in layers.
