    • SWIRL a small amount of foundation in the cap until it disappears into the brush.
    • TAP away any excess.
    • BUFF onto your skin in circular motions. This activates the minerals and transforms them from a powder to a silky cream. Repeat until you’ve achieved the coverage you want, from sheer to full.

    Before applying should your skin be dry or is it ok to be moist from moisturiser and spf or will that cause it to stick or blend unevenly? 

    Asked by: LSGJ
    Hello Anonymous, We recommend allowing your moisturizer and SPF to absorb into the skin before applying your powder. If the skin is very moist, it will grab the dry powder quickly. Try applying a sheer layer of our iconic Mineral Veil Finishing Powder (with a brush) before your powder foundation. It will help to even out the surface of the skin without adding any color or texture. It is formulated with special ingredients for diffusion and pore smoothing. Your powder foundation will then apply evenly and smoothly on top. We hope these tips help you!
