Applying Mineral Makeup Correctly For The Best Effect
Copyright (c) 2010 John Howell
Investing your money in Mineral Makeup can be a smart investment. You can get that perfect look that you want by following a simply blue print.
That’s what I am going to show you today in this article.
Mineral makeup is here and it looks like it is going to remain popular for quite a while. Whether you are going to be a first-time user of mineral makeup, or you’re a regular user, you need to know how to apply it. It might seem difficult at first and you might need to practice it for some time till you can be perfect at it. You need to know the correct tips and techniques to get the unblemished complexion you dream of.
Several mineral makeup brands will provide video or step-by-step instructions when you buy their products. If you are buying mineral makeup from a makeup counter or a store. Give it some thought before you do as you should ask for instructions from the salesperson on the way you should apply it. You should pay attention to the instructions given and learn the tips properly. Then you’ll notice the difference between mineral and normal makeup.
The Tools: Brushes Based on whether you will be using mineral makeup as foundation or concealer, you will require a different brush to apply it.
A brush is usually referred to as the Kabuki brush. Is what will give you the best results when it comes to applying mineral makeup as foundation.
These are like the blush or powder brushes but have short and stubby handles and full and firm bristles. Mineral makeup is applied with a buffing movement so that the stubby short handle is easier to hold and move around while the full short bristles enable a coverage which is even.
In order to apply mineral makeup as a concealer, you can use your fingers to apply it (for areas which need more coverage or for under eye circles) or a concealer brush (narrow and firm bristles which have a rounded tip) in the under eye region or a lip brush (short bristles which taper at the tip) for blemishes around the nose.
There are brushes which are used for applying mineral makeup sold with the makeup itself, but the quality of the brushes can vary. You might have to try different Kabuki-style brushes to find out which one you like best.
Brands such as L’Oreal and Neutrogena sell their mineral makeup products with built-in brushes so that it is easier to carry around and apply.
The Technique
As mineral makeup has a loose powder texture, you might want to just dab it on your face like you would with loose powder, but you should not do that.
Mineral makeup is a lot less translucent than loose powder and it is meant to be applied as foundation, so you have to apply it in moderation and build it in stages in order to have the prefect flawless look.
These tips will help you to apply it properly:
1.Take a small amount of the makeup on a tissue. You won’t need much and you can always add more to it, but its important to follow a simple plan to get the best results.
2.Dab the Kabuki brush in the powder. Rotate the bristles into the powder, taking the product into the brush. The powder should get into the bristles, not just sit on the tip. When there is no powder on the bristles’ tips, you are ready to apply it.
3.Buff the brush against your skin by first holding the brush to the center of your forehead in a circular motion, moving towards the edge of your face.
Continue to do this till you have to add more of the product. You should not add more then once or twice. The buffing motion is necessary for a flawless complexion.
Following these simple rules will help you to get the perfect skin you wish for.

Making Silver Last
Silver is a soft metal that requires ongoing cleaning to maintain its original luster, and proper storage to prevent scratches. Any jewelry or other item made with silver will change color over time due to a natural oxidation process with sulfides in the air. This can cause items to turn yellow, and then eventually darken to black over time.
There are several easy tricks of the trade that professional jewelers have developed to maintain the beauty of silver jewelry.
Proper Sterling Silver Storage
While it’s tempting to wear a favorite piece all the time, you should always remove your jewelry before using any type of product with chemicals or abrasives such as chlorine, bleach, ammonia, alcohol, turpentine or acetone. That includes finger nail polish, dish detergent, makeup, and even hair spray! Many of these products can permanently damage the silver as well as gemstones.
Dampness, air, and light can cause a piece to tarnish so the optimal method for storing sterling silver jewelry is in an airtight non-reactive container such as a box lined with special non-tarnish material or Mylar or polyethylene bag. Each piece of jewelry should be placed in its own bag so it does not rub up against anything which could potentially cause scratches, kinks in chains, or the damage of a gemstone.
Never place your sterling jewelry on wood surfaces as most wood contains acids which can damage the finish. Card board and paper can also speed up the tarnishing process.
Cleaning Your Silver Jewelry
The more often you clean each piece the easier it is, and the less wear and tear on your jewelry, because the tarnish is minimal which allows for safer cleaning methods.
Silver is a soft metal that can be scratched so be careful to rub gently when cleaning. Never use anything but a clean nub free cotton or flannel cloth, a special sterling silver cleaning cloth, or a very soft bristle brush like a baby’s toothbrush or a horsehair silver brush.
To remove light dirt, fingerprints or makeup just use a couple drops of mild liquid detergent (such as baby shampoo or Woolite) in a cup of warm water and rinse thoroughly with clean fresh water. Dry it completely and lightly buff with a cotton cloth. Always use a lengthwise motion when washing or drying your jewelry, as a circular motion often causes scratching.
The safest method for removing tarnish is to use a treated silver buffing cloth, but there are a number of silver spray polish or pastes that can work well for heavy cleanings if there is a large tarnish build up. To achieve the best results apply the spray or paste on the cloth and work into lather with your hand first. Tarnish in hard to reach areas can be left on to create an antique look and add definition to the jewelry. If you prefer to clean the entire piece you can have it professionally done, or use a soft bristle brush.
Sterling silver dips can be fast and easy but are not recommended by professional silversmiths and jewelers. If using a silver dip it is better to insert the item and remove it quickly, repeating after rinsing with water, rather than leaving the item in the dip for long periods of time. Follow up by buffing with a soft cotton cloth. If you leave the piece in too long, or don’t rinse it well enough with fresh water, a white residue will be left which can be difficult to remove.
Should you purchase a cleaner or dip, ensure that the product is designed for the type of jewelry item you want to clean. Dipping is not recommended for liquid silver or silver items with gemstones, and even paste or spray cleaners remove the natural luster of stones so be sure to remove any trace of cleaner residue and rinse each item thoroughly with clean water.
Additional Jewelry Cleaning Tips
Baking soda is often mentioned a cleaner but some jewelers claim that this method is to abrasive. If you wish to avoid using chemicals and want to try baking soda you should always test a small part of your silver jewelry piece first to see if leaves any noticeable marks. To use baking soda, lightly the item with clean water, the pour baking soda over the jewelry and rub gently with your fingers. Once the tarnish is removed, rinse with more clean water and dry with an all cotton cloth.
If your jewelry has been coated with a lacquer shield (to slow the tarnishing process) you should clean the item only after all of the lacquer has completely worn off. Cleaning agents can reach underneath the lacquer causing residue spotting.
Professional jewelers recommend cleaning your sterling silver jewelry as often as once per month, with a yearly professional cleaning for luxury and heirloom pieces. Cleaning gives you the chance to also check for loose stones or parts. Always have your jewelry repaired right away to prevent further damage.
Understanding the proper methods for storing and cleaning sterling silver jewelry is essential to the life of each piece.

Makeup Application: ?poreless? Skin
An always in demand Hollywood look is the “Poreless Face”. This look can easily take you from Red-Carpet to Wall Street and back again. The secret to the success and long-wearing effect of this look is in the application process. In this article, I will highlight my favorite products to achieve this look, which are all by Laura Mercier and work best because of their availability in various formulas for different skin types. So if you want to look as good as Halle or Angelina do in the spotlight, follow these steps and you will achieve the showstopping “Poreless Face” that everyone is talking about.
Step 1: Primer-To put it plainly, you must “prime” or prep your face for the various layers of product that will be used. Foundation Primer is a colorless, virtually weightless product that serves the purpose of creating an even, smooth surface on the face so all of your makeup will go on flawlessly. To get the best results, use a primer that best fits your skin type. A great choice is Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, which is available in three different formulas. The original formula is best for normal skin types, the hydrating formula is best for dry skin types, and the oil-free works best for combination and oily skin types. To apply, squeeze about a dime size amount into your hands, and liberally apply as you would facial moisturizer. Choosing the correct primer at this phase will determine how well your makeup will look and how long it will last later on.
Step 2: Tinted Moisturizer-After allowing the primer to dry slightly, which takes about 3-5 minutes, apply a tinted moisturizer. This product acts as a boost for your foundation and reduces the amount of concealer you will need later on because it is a lightweight, sheer foundation with buildable coverage. As with the primer, you will apply the tinted moisturizer in the same manner and allow it to dry completely before moving on to the next step. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer works like a charm, the Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer works best with dry skin types, the Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer works best for those of us with combination or oily skin types, and the original formula is for those with normal skin types.
Step 3: Foundation-Probably the most misunderstood cosmetic product on the market is foundation. Since foundation itself comes in about 6 different forms, it is sometimes hard to get know which is the right one for you. For the purposes of the porless face, you want to use what works best for you in terms of your skin type and desired coverage. If you have dry skin, go for Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation or Laura Mercier Moisturizing Foundation. If you have combination skin, I suggest Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation, Laura Mercier Mineral Powder SPF 15, or Laura Mercier Foundation Powder. Finally, for normal skin types, Laura Mercier Stick Foundation SPF 15 or Laura Mercier Mineral Powder SPF 15 will work best. As a general rule of thumb, liquid, crème, or stick foundations should be applied with a makeup sponge only in areas you desire more coverage. Blend the areas of the face where you use foundation with the tinted moisturizer so as not to have a blotchy effect. Powder Foundations should be applied with a foundation brush in areas where needed and blended.
Step 4: Concealer-Concealer does just that, it conceals. This step may not be necessary if you do not have any serious skin discoloration, scars, etc. However, if you have dark undereye circles, blemishes, scars, hyperpigmentation, or any other visible flaws on the face at this point, you will want to use concealer at this point. For undereye circles, Laura Mercier Undercover Pot works best, because it contains a concealer and a setting powder in one convenient package. For all other skin imperfections that are still visible, I love Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. To apply either concealer, use either concealer brush and gently dab the product in the exact areas you wish to cover. A little goes a long way, so you don’t need much product. After you are finished applying the product, use a makeup sponge and blend the concealer into your foundations in smooth strokes.
Step 5: Setting Powder-For the grand finale finish and to “set” all of your work, you need to apply a Setting Powder. Setting Powder is a colorless, preferably translucent product that adds that last little bit of polish to your look. It also serves double duty by absorbing any excess oil that may form on the skin while wearing makeup. Laura Mercier Mini Translucent Loose Setting Powder is my pick for this last step. To apply, use a foundation brush and gently swab over the entire face. For women who are tad bit oilier, go back with a clean makeup sponge and dab a little extra on your t-zone.
Ladies, now you are ready to face the world with your “Poreless” face. The products and process described above will give you that camera-ready look any time of day or night. This look is classic and timeless because it can be worn alone for daytime or with eyeshadows, blushes, and lipsticks to make it great for nighttime. As with any makeup application, practice makes perfect, and in no time flat you will be ready for any Red-Carpet.
