mineral foundation is attractive to a lot of people. However, liquid foundation provides coverage that they fear that they will have to give up. They may not realize that you can use mineral foundation can be used wet or dry. Both methods provide many of the same benefits. You need to know how to wear mineral foundation wet and dry. This will help you get the best results at any time regardless of your skin’s current condition.
Always use a special horsehair brush to apply mineral foundation. You will always use the brush whether you are applying foundation wet or dry. Just keep the brush clean so that you can reuse it easily.
Dry mineral foundation gives you very light coverage. This does not mean that irregularities will show. The foundation will just feel quite light on your face. You can still layer on mineral powder foundation for coverage and camouflage.
Here are some of the benefits that you get from using mineral foundation as dry powder:
* It hides creases and wrinkles by reflecting light. This minimizes evidence of aging. The mica flakes are slightly more effective dry rather than wet.
* It feels as if you are not wearing makeup. The powder will smooth onto your skin and provide a smooth, natural look.
* You have the option of sleeping in dry mineral foundation. It is generally better to remove makeup. Dry mineral foundation are less likely to block up your pores while you are sleeping.
To apply mineral foundation dry, simply swirl the horsehair brush in the powder. Tap the excess powder off the brush. Apply the powder to your face while using a circular motion. Keep applying layers until you have the look you want. Your end results will look bright, light and natural. You can apply other cosmetics over the mineral foundation if you like.
Others prefer to use wet mineral foundation. They may feel that this provides better coverage. This is mostly a personal preference, as mineral foundation covers evenly either way. Using mineral foundation wet makes you look slightly more “made up” and glamorous. This look may be less natural, but people may find it more professional. It also provides a great 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. Moisten the brush and swirl the foundation around. This will make a liquid mineral foundation. Blend first with the brush and then your fingers.
Ultimately you can wear mineral foundation wet or dry. You will adore your natural look when you wear your mineral foundation.
