Mineral Makeup Blushes
These mineral makeup blushes are made from pure mica, so while the texture is extraordinarily soft, the color is concentrated. Use just a few crumbs on a cotton ball or a blush brush. Make sure to tap all of the excess powder off of the brush, until there is just a faint dusting on the tips of the bristles, then gently glide over the cheeks. Very little blending is needed.

Loose mineral blushes are very concentrated and should be applied sparingly. The simplest way to apply them is with a cotton ball. Press the cotton ball onto the sifter, then tap the jar so a little bit of blush powder gets on the cotton ball. Then gently glide the color over the apples of the cheek, and blend. If you prefer to use a brush, a fan brush is the best option. A traditional blush brush isn't recommended, as it picks up too much of the powder.
Mineral Makep FAQ
Mineral makeup is makeup which is crafted from powdered minerals and iron oxides. Its historical roots are ancient, of course, as women (and men) have been putting “colored earth” on their skin since the beginning of time.
One big advantage of modern mineral makeup is that it is a natural and effective sun block, due to its use of Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. Mineral Makeup also avoids the use of Talc, a common product in most makeup which has been shown to be a carcinogen. Other advantages include: it has very good and lightweight coverage; it is water-resistant, non-comedogenic, and oil-free. It is also very easy and fast to apply, and very forgiving.
