Mineral makeup is one of the fastest growing trends in the cosmetics industry in recent years. It's versatility, light-weight feel, ease of use, and non-comedogenic properties appeal to a new wave of cosmetic wearers who are demanding more natural choices for their skincare regime.
1. Start with clean dry skin, be sure to moisturize but make sure it has completely absorbed into skin.
2. Gently tap a small amount of minerals into the lid of the jar. Using a Kabuki or another buffer brush, swirl the brush around the lid until the crushed minerals are completely infused into the brush. Tap brush on the side of the lid to remove any excess powder. Be sure to keep the bristles slightly angled up while tapping.
3. Starting at the outide of your face lightly apply the foundation, working inward towards the eyes and nose. Press the bristles of the brush against the skin apply in a circular or downward motion. Re-apply (starting with step two) until you achieve the look and amount of coverage you desire. It takes a few moments for the minerals to warm up to your skin. Do Not Over Apply! You will achieve a more natural, flawless finish if you build up several light layers. Try several different application techniques to see what works best for you!
I prefer to apply in a circular motion around the forehead, eye area and the nose. And then switch to a downward motion on the lower half of the face as this helps keep the small fines hairs that we all have on our face from lifting and moving in different directions, this gives a smoother cleaner appearance.

* Good for sensitive skin. "Lots of women struggle with acne, allergies, dryness and clogged pores from unfriendly commercial makeup," Ranger says. "Mineral makeup lets you enhance skin care with positive beauty choices, not create more problems."
* Doesn't feel like a mask. For some women, traditional makeup, often heavier, can feel like a mask. Mineral makeup's texture is lighter and different. Even with more coverage, experts say you'll see a natural, translucent radiance and more of your skin, which can breathe.
