How To Use Mineral Makeup Pallets
Professional Mineral Makeup in these pallets are high pigment ratio to filler, this simply means a very little goes a long way! Most makeup on the market is designed for the consumer market. They are more filler to pigment, that means you use more may have to reapply and buy more. Professional products designed for film, television and photography, must last, most up to 8 hours under the hot lights
Step 1
For the lightest application use a Kabuki brush, lightly dance it across the chosen shade of color on your pallet in a circular motion then apply in a circular motion on the area that you are applying it on( Remember that Kabuki brushes are cut on a circular bevel to attract and release the mineral foundation!)
Step 2
For a heavier application, (like hiding dark circles or discolorations) use a non latex sponge. These products can be used as a wet apply as well, (like you would be using a cake or Pan Cake makeup for extreme coverage)
Step 3
Now the shades of colors on each pallet are for color compatibility and neutrality. This helps assure that you will be able to custom blend the base color. For myself, I am medium toned skin, but an hour in the sun and I am much darker, so I just pump up the depth of color with a darker selection on the pallet in the summer time. Remember that light brings out and dark recedes , so if you use the lighter tones than your base in the depressions on the face( Lines and wrinkles) that you want to help minimize, use a shade or two darker for what you want to recede,( like extra chins). And it can be blended exceptionally well for contour. Great for photo shoots. The best part is when your talent or you are sweating all you need to do is blot the face, you will not lose color! Minerals are like a stain, it takes a cleanser to remove them, And you won’t get streaks or lines running down the face……..Women adore the Mineral Based Pallets for all they can do, Counselor, High Lite, Base and contour, and the Men have a no makeup look. Keeping them very comfortable and looking great.( I have many non talent men who use this product regularly, it helps them look more rested and even toned.)
KABUKI BRUSHES Kabuki brushes are a must-have item for all mineral makeup applications; makeup artists have them in their makeup kits because they are a professional tool. They serve a major plus when applying Mineral bases, they are short and the brush is cut in layering, beveled edges, allowing the fine micro grains of the mineral makeup to grab to the brush, then when you apply the minerals to your face you have the ability to apply and blend at the same time. Make sure you gently dance the brush over the minerals, don’t dig in, defeats the purpose. Dance as in the sweeping effect a beautiful gown has dusting the floor as you glide in your dream guys arms………….Cinderella at the ball! Always read your labels and know what a model or talent may be allergic to! I have never had a problem with a Makeup Professional Mineral Pallet!
