Flawless Foundation: instantly

 

Unlike traditional cosmetics, mineral make-up is ideally applied sparingly, it works to conceal discolouration and provide full cover by light reflecting particles, like millions of tiny diamonds. If you apply too much mineral make-up the result will not be flattering, nor will it be a natural looking finish. Always apply mineral make-up in 'layers' to achieve a flawless face - Mineral Powder alone is ideal to apply in layers to achieve full cover, or use the Fluid or Silk Cream Foundations to increase hydration and result in a more 'duey' complexion, both are ideal to use as a base, as the first 'layer' before applying powders.

Correct beauty tools are a necessity when applying Mineral make-up.

Mineral make-up is made of pure pigment that is highly concentrated, it is for this reason that the right brush is an absolute necessity when applying mineral make-up, so as to distribute the product evenly. Mineral make-up contains little or no 'filler', so it is imperative that you place a tiny amount of powder on the brush to distribute the powder to one area of the face at a time, buffing it in well in  circular motions before applying more product. The best way to be sure that you apply the correct amount of mineral make-up is to build your desired cover in layers, mineral make-up is ideal to apply as buildable foundation from a sheer 'no make-up' look to full coverage.

Amina Cosmetics, beauty Tools are made especially for applying mineral make-up, with a high density of hair: short, firm and ultra-soft, Silk-Nylon fibres, that are especially designed to distribute mineral cosmetics for an effortless, even complexion. Using the wrong brush will result in way too much make-up being applied in all the wrong places, not at all a natural look.

'Buffing' brings out the quality of your minerals.

Buffing is essential to applying powder foundation, it creates a smooth silk appearance which brings out the quality of the minerals. If you've ever applied wax to leather or wooden furniture, you'll understand the importance of buffing to create the finishing touch. Do the same with your Mineral Foundation Powder by using a firm, soft touch, and in circular motions blend or spread the make-up around the cheeks, down the jawline and over the nose. Continue to buff until you see your face glow and your skin becomes flawless. Always apply the concealer last.
