How to achieve natural foundation coverage using mineral skincare makeup
A. Loose Powder Foundation that can be mixed with Moisturizer
1. Using a small amount of minerals is best – explain that too much product will look heavy on the skin and not allow the pure minerals to reflect light and give the skin a beautiful glow. Direct women to mix equal parts of loose foundation/moisturizer great for dry skin dot all over the face and use a sponge or a concealer brush to smooth over skin.
2. Using a small amount of loose foundation load the powder brush with product and dot all over face then using downward strokes smooth all over the face. This is recommended for oily skin and to take away shine throughout the day.
B. Dark circle Eye brightening using concealer
Show eye area - using a small amount of product dot under eye in a large upside-down triangle smooth with finger or sponge
3. Dot concealer above and below eyebrow smooth/blend with finger or soft brush
C. Blemish/Dark spot Coverage
After applying foundation use a concealer brush and small amount of loose foundation to push the product on blemish/dark spot and the smooth edges to blend
