Overview

how apply mineral makeup over blemishes : Overview :
Mineral makeup products are growing in popularity because of their efficiency and ease of use. Mineral concealers are ideal for covering up dark under-eye circles and prominent blemishes. One of the reasons people have been applying mineral makeup concealers over blemishes is because the natural minerals are actually good for the skin. Non-mineral foundations contain preservatives and other chemicals that are bad for the skin.

Step 1

Dip the concealer brush into the mineral makeup concealer.

Step 2

Tap or blow off excess powder from the brush.

Step 3

Gently dab the brush with the concealer on and around the blemish, and blend to thoroughly conceal the redness. Add a few more layers until the blemish is entirely covered.

Step 4

Dip the large powder brush into the mineral makeup foundation and tap or blow off excess.

Step 5

In a circular motion, buff the mineral foundation over your entire face, including the concealed blemish. This will ensure that your face color is entirely uniform so that the concealed blemish does not stand out due to its lighter color.

TIPS AND WARNINGS

  • TIP : Make sure to match the concealer to your exact skin tone. Apply some bronzer at the end to give your face a slight glow.
