Your Ultimate Guide to Applying Demure Mineral Makeup

Achieving a radiant, flawless complexion with Demure loose mineral makeup is easier than you think. Whether you’re new to mineral cosmetics or looking to perfect your technique, this step-by-step guide will help you get the best results. Our all-mineral, lightweight formulas enhance your beauty while being gentle on your skin. Follow this guide to learn how to apply Demure concealer, foundation, blush, and eye makeup for a naturally stunning look.

Step 1: Perfecting Your Base with Concealer

Concealer is an essential first step in your makeup routine, as it helps to even out your skin tone, cover blemishes, and brighten under-eye circles. Demure loose mineral concealer is lightweight, blendable, and provides excellent coverage without clogging pores.

How to Apply Loose Mineral Concealer:

(a)    Prep Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. If you have dry skin, use a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer and allow it to absorb fully.

(b)   Use a Small Sponge: A beauty sponge or small blending brush works best for precise application. A beauty sponge is included with all of our mineral concealers.

(c)    Tap Off Excess Product: Gently tap some concealer into the jar lid. Then lightly dip your sponge into the concealer and tap off any excess powder to avoid applying too much product.

(d)   Apply in Targeted Areas: Gently press onto areas that need coverage, such as under-eye circles, blemishes, redness around the nose, or dark spots. Use a light hand and build coverage as needed.

(e)   Blend Well: Using light sweeping motions or tapping to blend the concealer seamlessly into your skin for a natural finish.

Step 2: Creating a Flawless Complexion with Loose Mineral Foundation

Demure loose mineral foundation provides buildable coverage that looks natural and feels weightless. It allows your skin to breathe while offering a smooth, even complexion.

How to Apply Loose Mineral Foundation:

(a)    Choose the Right Shade: Select a shade that best matches your skin tone. All of our “warm” foundation shades are for skin with olive, golden undertones. If you are unsure, test a small amount along your jawline.

(b)   Use a Kabuki Brush: A kabuki brush is ideal for buffing in loose mineral foundation evenly

(c)    Tap, Swirl, and Buff:
Tap a small amount of foundation into the lid.
Swirl your brush into the powder to pick up the product.
Tap the kabuki brush on a flat surface so that the powder drops into the brush.
Buff the foundation onto your skin using circular motions, starting from the center of your face and blending outward.

(d)   Build for More Coverage: If needed, apply additional layers using the same technique for a fuller coverage look.

(e)   Set Your Base: While Demure Foundation is long-lasting, if you have oily skin, or tend to sweat, consider using a light dusting of Finishing Powder to set your foundation and to keep shine at bay.

Step 3: Adding a Natural Glow with Blush

Blush enhances your complexion by adding warmth and dimension. Demure loose mineral blushes are highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way. Just tap a small amount into your lid. All of our blush colors are matte, with the exception of Go Bronze which has a touch of shimmer, but it is very subtle.

How to Apply Loose Mineral Blush:

(a)    Choose the Right Brush: A fluffy blush brush is perfect for diffusing color smoothly.

(b)   Pick Up the Product: Tap a tiny amount of blush into the lid, swirl your brush, and tap off any excess. Reminder, a little goes a long way!

(c)    Smile and Apply: Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, then lightly sweep the blush in an upward motion toward your temples.

(d)   Blend for a Natural Look: If you apply too much, blend with a clean brush or buff with a bit of foundation powder to soften the color.

Step 4: Finishing Touch with Finishing Powder

As a final step to set your face makeup, add a light dusting of Finishing Powder.

How to Apply Finishing Powder:

(a)   Tap: Tap a small amount of finishing powder into the lid.

(b)   Swirl: Swirl your Kabuki brush into the powder to pick up the product.

(c)    Buff: Buff the finishing powder gently onto your skin using circular motions to set your makeup.

Step 5: Enhancing Your Eyes with Mineral Eye Makeup

Eye makeup adds definition and depth to your look. Demure mineral eye shadows, eyeliners, and mascaras are formulated with premium ingredients that are safe for sensitive eyes.

How to Apply Loose Mineral Eyeshadow:

(a)    Prime Your Eyelids: For long-lasting wear, apply a thin layer of eye primer or moisturizer over your lids.

(b)   Choose Your Shades: Select a light shade for highlighting, a medium shade for the lid, and a darker shade for definition.

(c)    Apply the Lightest Shade First: Use a small fluffy brush to sweep the lightest shade under your brow bone and inner corners to brighten your eyes. Then apply along the edge of your lash line.

(d)   Blend the Medium Shade onto the Lid: Using a flat eyeshadow brush, apply the medium shade along the crease of your eyelid, blending it in.

(e)   Define with the Darkest Shade: Apply a small amount of the darkest shade along the outer corner of your eyes and blend into the crease for dimension.

(f)      Eye Color as Eye Liner: All of the mineral colors in our collection can be used as eye liners and can be applied wet or dry. Simply choose the mineral color you want. Then dampen an angled liner brush or a liner brush, dip it into the powder and then line your eyes. Or for a softer, more subtle line, apply the mineral color dry with an angled or liner brush.

(g)    Pencil Eyeliner: If you are using a pencil eyeliner, apply it to the outer corners of your eyes and gently smudge.

(h)   Apply Mascara: Complete your eye makeup by curling your lashes and applying mascara for added volume and length.

Step 6: Applying Lipstick or Gloss

Finish your look by adding color to your lips, which has the added bonus of keeping them moisturized.

How to Apply Lipstick or Gloss:

(a)    Lip Liner – an Optional Step: Line your lips with pencil liner to define the shape and reduce color bleed.

(b)   Apply Color: Apply lipstick or lip gloss on your lips to complete your makeup application.

Bonus Tips for a Long-Lasting, Natural Finish

Less is More: Always start with a small amount of product and build coverage gradually.

Blend Well: Proper blending ensures a seamless, natural finish.

Use the Right Tools: Investing in high-quality brushes intended for mineral makeup makes application smoother and more precise.

Hydration is Key: Mineral makeup sits best on well-hydrated skin, so drink plenty of water and use a good moisturizer before applying your makeup.

Set Your Look: If you want extra longevity, using finishing powder and a light mist of setting spray can help keep your makeup in place all day.
