How to Use Mineral Foundation?

“Mineral Foundation is so hard to use!”  You may have heard about this comment always. Indeed, powder-like foundation is so different with liquid foundation, foundation stick or compact. But if you get to know about it, it is so user-friendly. Bonus is, this kind of foundation is so fresh without greasy finish, perfect for hot and humid summer! Let me show you all how a mineral foundation works with the help of the 1st place of COSME Honey Powder Award, Rachel Wine Light Mineral Foundation!

My skin is sensitive and will lead to allergy easily if the makeup stays too long on my face. I used to be a BB Cushion follower for its convenience but when I was pregnant a few years ago, I started to read the labels carefully and concerned about the quality of makeup products, especially those are safe for pregnant women. Mineral foundation is not only naturally-formulated but also mild, my skin seldom appears to be sensitive after using it. All in all, it is more convenient, clean and having great staying power than BB cushion. For your reference, what I use is Rachel Wine Light Mineral Foundation.

How to

1. Pour an ideal amount of powder on plate
2. Make sure your skin is dry - the golden rule! If you have just applied your moisturiser, blot it out with tissue gently until dry
3. Use the Rachel Wine Kabuki Foundation Brush to dust it on face and gently press it
4. Lastly roll it to even the complexion
