The secret to using
If you chose a mineral makeup, then probably you are counting on a good result. But the lack of the necessary knowledge and skills to use this makeup can lead to disappointment.
Mineral cosmetics are applied to well-prepared skin. To do this, use your usual moisturizing cream and wait until it is completely absorbed, otherwise the powder can get lost in the lumps. In order to disguise pimples or dark circles under the eyes, you can use any corrector that suits you, most importantly, do not apply it with a thick layer and choose a dark tone. Then you can apply mineral powder. With her help, you do not need to try and disguise flaws, she must lay down on her face with a light veil, and this gives the skin a well-groomed appearance. Apply the powder from the middle of the face to the cheekbones with wide movements, so it will lie more evenly.
Shadows are better to choose usual, friable. They are applied faster, although they are inferior to cream shadows. Both shadows and blush, made on the basis of minerals, have a denser texture compared to conventional ones, so it will take quite a bit to create even an evening make-up. It is better to choose shades for a tone or two lighter than your usual ones. Since mineral substances in the air often darken, it may turn out that the powder does not suit your skin tone, and ordinary daytime shadows seem too bright and provocative.
When choosing mineral cosmetics in the store, do not use sponge. It is better to take your brush with you and try out the remedy with it. So mineral makeup falls better, and you immediately understand if it fits you, whether it justifies expectations, whether it likes.
