areas of cosmetics. Powders, tonal bases, moisturizing cream, shadows –

will need much less money to make up, unlike traditional products, and any jar of
the mineral powder will be consumed three times slower than your usual powder.
First, apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Unlike liquid foundation
creams, minerals should not be mixed together with moisturizers, because a thin
film separating the minerals from deep penetration should remain on the skin.
Then use the mineral tonal base and apply it with the help of a brush “kabuki” –
brushes made of the natural nap for uniform application of friable powder. If your
skin is prone to dryness, you can fix the makeup with a special moisturizing finish
spray.

tonal basis. Then, when you are confident in the product, expand your collection
with blushes and shadows.

titanium dioxide and pigments. If you see talcum, magnesium or fragrances – most
likely, the manufacturer saves on the ingredients. Real mineral products should
also be certified and have a “cruelty-free” mark, which means no tests for animals.
Pay attention to the Revlon and Clarins brands that have been using this
technology for a long time and are pleased with new developments every year, or
choose brands that work exclusively with mineral products – Bare Minerals,
Everyday Minerals. Also, excellent tools with blush and shadows can be found in
the Mac and L’Oreal lines, but unlike other collections of these companies, do not
wait for a variety of shades.
