Hints and Tips when Applying Sobaré Beauty Mineral Cosmetics

It's better to apply bare coverage minerals to a dryer face (make sure face is completely dry and that any moisturizer has completely penetrated) before applying Loose Foundation. If the face is too moist the first layer of Foundation will be applied too heavily and may cause caking.

Sobaré Beauty Cosmetics Loose Mineral Foundation is best applied in light layers with a our Ultimate Face Powder Brush or our Ultimate Kabuki Brush. Less is always better! Let the pure minerals blend with the natural warmth and moisture of your skin for a natural dewey finish.

Basic Application:

Step 1 - Mix...Starting with a small amount of minerals in the lid, angle your brush and swirl vigorously into the lid until all the minerals are absorbed into the tapers of your brush.

Step 2 - Remove excess mineral makeup by...Tapping brush on your mineral container to remove excess minerals. There should be no visible minerals on the outside of the brush.

Step 3 - Apply by...Buffing Sobaré Beauty Cosmetics Loose Minerals foundation into the skin, starting on the outside of your face near your cheek bone, applying in a circular motion as you go. Buff around your face then approach your forehead, buffing away frown lines. Keep buffing until you are satisfied with the coverage.

Note: Before use, remove the seal covering the holes on the sifter or punch a hole thru the holes of the shifter to control volume.

Remember ~ Less is More

Mineral Powder Application Techniques

Keep mind that our cosmetic formulations are highly concentrated pigments and a little goes a long way! We suggest using the residue in the lid of the container to dip into and simply tap off any excess powder from your brush before application.

Concealer

Apply to cover any skin discolorations or blemishes. Great as an under eye concealer! You may use it dry with your Concealer Brush or as a spot concealer, simply wet the tip of your concealer brush and dip ever so slightly into the lid of the container and apply to face.

Utlra Sheer Finishing Powder —Mattifier

Apply first on skin for Oily Skin Types and after Loose Foundation for everyone else. Simply dip ever so slightly your Face Powder Brush into the lid of the container and apply a very light dusting to your face. Our Ultra Sheer Finishing Powder gives a matte coverage.

Foundation

For a light to medium coverage, apply to face with our Powder Brush or our recommended Kabuki Foundation Brush using circular, buffing motion. You may use 1 or both of the colors in your kit. You can blend them to achieve the perfect shade or simply use please seasonally.

Blush

For a light to medium coverage, slightly dab color to the “apples of your cheek” area with our Blush Brush.

Bronzer

Apply to face in a sweeping motion with our Powder Brush directly over the blush and into the temple area. For an all-over-glow effect, lightly dust on the contour areas of the face, eyes and décolleté.

Face Illuminizers

These provide a very sheer, dewey look. Follow the same guidelines as applying your Bronzer.

Eye Shadow

A good guideline is to apply 3 complimentary colors to your lid starting with the lightest color over your entire lid to the brow bone. Then take the darker color and apply in the eye socket area, blending into the base color. Apply middle shade onto eye lid; blending well.
