Is mineral make-up causing your more cosmetic problems that it seems to be solving? Well, relax.
In just four easy steps, you can overcome the most common complaints associated with applying mineral make-up including itchiness, dryness, color imperfections and messiness.
1.
Ending the itchiness Itchiness and dryness connected with mineral make-up must be tackled as a relational problem because the dryness could provoke the itchiness.
So, let's rule out possible causes of itchiness first by ensuing you have no allergies to the mineral make-up.
This requires a simple forearm patch test.
To perform the test, cleanse a roughly one-square inch area on your forearm.
Let area dry.
Then apply a light layer of mineral make-up to the skin.
Leave the cosmetic on for 24 hours, then rinse it off.
If no rash, redness or itching occurs, you should not need to worry about having allergies to mineral make-up.
If you do have allergy symptoms, stop using the mineral make-up.
Another indirect source of allergies arising from mineral make-up could be the brush applicator.
People develop allergies to cat hair.
Similarly, you could develop an allergy horse hair, which is sometimes used in cosmetics brushes.
Make sure you are not allergic to your brushes.
2.
Dryness Mineral make-up can be great for acne and large pores because of the drying effect of its common ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
However, this trait my not prove ideal for dry skin.
To help minimize moisture loss, apply a rich moisturizer, or nighttime face cream before dusting on the mineral make-up.
Moreover, mineral make-up exhibits an exfoliating effect on the skin which is superb for acne, but potentially excessive for dry skin.
To compensate for the extra exfoliation that mineral make-up delivers, you can reduce your usage of other exfoliating products like astringents or at-home microdermabrasion treatments.
3.
Color The titanium oxide inside mineral make-up reflects and diffuses light, which helps camouflage skin blemishes like age spots and acne scars.
Because the look of mineral make-up is so readily influenced by light, you need to apply this product in full spectrum light to view how your selected make-up shade truly looks on your skin.
For instance, once you apply your mineral make-up in the bathroom, go outside into the sunlightand view how your make-up looks in full spectrum daylight.
The results may scare you.
You may look two shades lighter or darker than you did in the bathroom.
Now that you know how the mineral make-up appears in full spectrum light, you can adjust your cosmetic shade as needed.
4.
The mess How can getting pretty create such a mess? Mineral make-up by nature is dusty and so to keep your cosmetic application as tidy as possible, you have to practice dust control.
Here's how:

a.
Set the foundation jar on a paper towel.
b.
The foundation jar should contain a middle, porous lid that sifts the foundation for a more sheer application.
As you shake the foundation jar to sift the mineral make-up, your create dust.
To avoid a sifting dust cloud upon opening the jar, after your shake the closed foundation jar, let the jar set for 10 seconds so that the mineral make-up dust can settle and not fly all over your countertop.
c.
Next, to avoid creating a mess on your face, lightly dip the foundation brush into the sifted foundation.
You don't want a thick layer on the brush because this creates dust.
Furthermore, when trying to correctly apply a foundation, it is always easier to apply more foundation than it is to remove excess foundation.

Now, perhaps you will have four less problems when applying mineral make-up.
