Mineral foundation is appealing to people for many reasons. But they do not want to give up the coverage that liquid foundation provides. They do not realize that you can use mineral foundation in wet or dry form. Both methods have advantages. You should understand the methods of using mineral foundation wet and dry. This will enable you to use the best method for your skin’s current condition.
Use a horsehair brush to apply mineral foundation. You will always use the brush whether you are applying foundation wet or dry. Just keep the brush very clean so that you can reuse it daily.
Dry mineral foundation gives you very light coverage. This does not mean that irregularities will show. It means that foundation feels light on the surface of your skin. You can still layer on mineral powder foundation for coverage and camouflage.
Here are some positive benefits that you will get from using mineral foundation as dry powder:
* It deflects light out of creases and wrinkles. This will decrease evidence of aging. The mica in mineral powder foundation works slightly better when dry.
* It feels like you are wearing no makeup at all. The powder will help your skin look smooth and natural.
* You have the option of sleeping in dry mineral foundation. It is better to remove makeup if you have the option. Dry mineral foundation will not block your pores and cause the aging that liquid foundations can.
Mineral foundation application involves swirling the horsehair brush in the powdered foundation. Tap excess powder off of the horsehair brush. Buff the powder onto your face. Keep applying the makeup in layers until you like your look. Your end result will be bright and light. You can apply other cosmetics over the mineral foundation if you like.
Some people prefer to use mineral foundation wet. They feel that wet mineral foundation gives them better coverage. This is mostly a personal preference, as mineral foundation covers evenly either way. Wet mineral foundation gives people a more “made up” look that lots of people think is more glamorous. It is less natural, but may be viewed as more professional. It provides a smooth palate for additional makeup. To apply mineral foundation in a liquid form, dip the brush in the dry mineral powder. Tap the powder into your palm. You should never allow the entire contents of your mineral foundation to get wet all at once. Swirl the foundation around with the damp brush. This will create a liquid mineral foundation that you can apply to your face using the brush. Blend it in with brush and fingers.
You can of course wear mineral foundation wet and dry. You will enjoy your look and the feel of your skin with your mineral foundation.
