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.
