If your container has

shrink wrap on it,

tap on lid before

opening to get

minerals down so when

you open jar they

don’t go everywhere. If it has a seal over sifter section,

remove this first otherwise minerals will not come out.

NOTE: Brushes may shed during usage, this is

normal and will stop

after some usage.

Place the bristles of your

brush against the

holes in the top of the

shaker jar and invert the jar,

adding minerals

to your brush.

Revert the jar to its

upright position and

remove the brush

from the holes, tap the brush

against a hard surface

to nestle the

minerals within

the brush head.

Or tap a small amount of

minerals

into the jar’s lid and swirl the

brush into it, then tap

the end of the brush onto the hard surface

to embed the minerals.

To apply the minerals, start

at the hairline and

swirl onto your face in

downward motions

over your cheekbones and

towards the nose.

Start with a little and use more as needed,

a little goes a long way so don’t go crazy with the minerals.

Blemishes are a snap to hide, using a concealer brush,

apply a small amount directly to the area and blend well.

Minerals can be used dry or wet.
If you’re used to your

liquid foundation

and just can’t give it up you can use

Affordable Mineral Makeup™.

Just add a few drops of water to the foundation

in the lid of the sifter jar and mix

until you’ve reached your

desired consistency.

You can apply with either

a sponge or brush.

Then apply the same way

as mentioned above.

If you have dry or ‘older’

skin, try misting it before

applying foundation and

apply in downward motion.

Then when the foundation is dry complete

applying your blush,

multipurpose, eyeshadow, veil.
Additionally if you want to set the makeup,

mist your face to set it when completed.

If your foundation appears pasty, here are a few possibilities:
1. The brush.
The wrong brush can really make

a difference in mineral makeup and not

the right kind!  Our Kabuki

brushes are soft and well-made,

applying the minerals with a light

touch that looks and feels natural.

2. Too much product on the brush:
Mineral makeup is concentrated color,

a little can go a long way so start

slowly and work your way to perfect

in layers, only using it where its needed.

3. The wrong shade:
Caught between a pink and a yellow?

Minerals make it easy to blend shades to

create your perfect skin tone,

remember to blend well down your neck!

Mineral Veil Powders:
If you wear:
1, 3 or 7, choose the Petal Mineral Veil to complement

your soft glow.  If you find it too rosy, balance with a more yellow shade such as Angel.

If you wear:
10 then Tawny, the medium yellow setting

powder would be the best choice.

Multi-Purpose Mineral Powders:
Note: blue and green shades are regulated to

only be used on the eye area.

Create your own eye shadows using minerals by

applying with an eye shadow brush!  To use as a

liner, wet a eye liner brush with water and dip

into a multi-purpose mineral, blending the proper

shade on the back of your hand.  Then apply under

and over your lashes for a dramatic look.

Use as a blush!  Apply sparingly along the

apples of your cheeks for a natural glow.

Lip Color: Simply dip your lip brush into

clear lip gloss and dab into

the mineral pot and apply for fabulous, one-of-a-kind shades.

Nail Polish: Because our pigment contains no dye, you do not

need to apply a base coat. Simply use clear nail polish and dip the

brush into the desired color and paint onto nails. For a darker color,

use more powder. You can also mix our pigments

into colored nail polish to change its tint.

Body Shimmer/Highlighter: dab our shimmers onto

your cheekbones, shoulders, etc to give an extra shine
