RJ Mineral Foundation is a truly new
concept in make-up and it may take
a few tries to get your application
'just right' - But don’t give up, the
results are well worth the effort and
you will be amazed with the results
you will get from RJ Mineral
Cosmetics Powder Mineral Foundation!
- Always apply minerals in
thin layers, two is usually sufficient.
- Make sure you moisturiser has
absorbed before you apply mineral
powder.
Foundation:
Turn the jar over, tap the bottom with
your finger, turn right side up, and
open.
You should find a small amount of RJ
Mineral Cosmetics Foundation in the lid.
Swirl your Professional Kabuki brush in
the foundation, and tap the excess
back into the lid.
Begin applying with short, feathery,
downward strokes and/or light circles.
You want the fine hairs and pores of
your skin to lay flat.
Concealing:
If you need to conceal something, use
the Concealer brush and blend
foundation onto that area.
Use a damp flocked sponge or our Total
Coverage Face brush for a heavier
coverage, this is especially good for
areas under the eyes and for
concealing large pores.
Setting Powder:
Use the Professional Kabuki or Deluxe
Blush brush and apply all over the
face after the application of eye
cosmetics, lipstick and blush.
Moisture Setting:
For dry skin, you can spritz a little skin
freshener on top. This will re-hydrate
your skin and correct a dry or flaky look.
Also, if you mist with the skin freshener,
and then use a flocked sponge or brush
to lightly smooth your make up in a
downward motion; you will minimize
the appearance of large pores.
Eye shadow:
Use the Shadow brush to apply your
eye shadow. Tap some colour into the
lid, swirling your brush, tapping off the
excess and applying.
Eyeliner:
Add a little water or skin freshener to
the colour in the lid, and mix, use the
Fine Liner brush and apply.
Smudge, if desired, for a "smoky" look.
Blush:
Use the Deluxe Blush brush to gather
your colour from the lid and tap off the
extra. Then use light, feathery strokes
from the apple of your cheek back
towards your hairline.
Lip Liner:
You can use the same technique
outlined with the eyeliner above,
or you can apply clear lip balm and use
the Lipstick brush to line your lips with
the powder.
Lipstick:
Use the same technique for the lip
liner; simply fill in your whole lip.
Brow Liner:
You can use this dry or wet, apply with
the Duel Shadow Liner brush using the
angled end to apply then soften with
the brush end.
Bronzer:
Use the Deluxe Flat Top Bronzer Brush
and apply the colour to any part of
your body that you want bronzed. You
can also mix the RJ Mineral Cosmetics
powder Bronzer in with your usual
body lotion or moisturiser for a ‘smooth’
Bronze look!
Nail Polish:
Use a clear nail polish and dip the
brush into the colour you would like.
Want a whole bottle of your favourite
shade? No problem, simply add
whichever RJ Mineral Cosmetics you
like to a bottle of clear nail polish,
shake well and start painting.
Other Goodies:
Make up minerals can be added to
lotion for sparkles all- over body look,
this looks fantastic with RJ Mineral
Cosmetics Body Shimmers, why not
try BS06 for a ‘breathless glow to
the skin!’
You can add RJ Mineral Cosmetic
powders to hair gel, for glittery hair,
or the powders can be dry dusted
into hair, and then set with hair spray.
RJ Mineral Cosmetic products can be
mixed into almost anything for a
unique look. And combining colours
will give you a style all your own!

Troubleshooting Tips & Tricks |
Too Much Shine?
Layering too thickly or pressing into
the skin with the brush tends to
separate the crystals.
It is easy to avoid this by applying the
minerals in thin layers in downward
strokes with an appropriate brush
(we recommend Kabuki brushes).
Keep adding layers until desired
coverage has been reached. It can also
help to spritz with a freshener and then
blot.
Uneven and blotchy?
This is usually because the minerals
have been applied before the
moisturizer has been absorbed or
because the moisturizer being used
only lays on the skin surface. The
simple solution is to wait a minute
for the moisturizer to disappear or
to blot any excess.
Wrong colour?
This was probably chosen in poor
lighting. The best way to test for the
right colour is to do it on the jaw line
in daylight. The colour should
disappear if it blends perfectly with
the skin.
Skin Tickle?
If you get a feeling of ‘tickling’ on the
skin or a slight ‘tightness’ around the
nose after you first application, don’t
worry this could just be technique.
Try applying again using softer, lighter
strokes with your Kabuki brush;
remember you build layers gently to
get the desired coverage. The skin on
your face is very delicate and you may
find the use of a dry brush for
applying make-up a little strange at
first but go softly and your skin will
love you for changing over to RJ
Mineral Cosmetic products.*
Mineral Make-up can be applied
immediately after a light peel or micro
dermabrasion. It will not only cover
the redness, but the Titanium Dioxide
and Zinc Oxides are anti-inflammatory,
which will help to calm the irritation.
If you are perspiring heavily or
swimming, don’t wipe your face with a
towel or with your hand. Just pat your
face dry with a towel.
