Mineral Foundation Wet or Dry

Many people would like to use mineral foundation. However, they do not want to forego the coverage that their current liquid foundation provides. They may not realize that you can use mineral foundation can be used wet or dry. There are benefits to both methods. You should understand the methods of using mineral foundation wet and dry. This will enable you to use the best method for your skin’s current condition.

You will always use the horsehair brush that came with the foundation to apply the foundation. You will always use the brush whether you are applying foundation wet or dry. Just keep the brush clean so that you can reuse it easily.

When you use mineral foundation dry, you get very light coverage. This does not mean that blemishes or irregularities will show through. It means that the foundation will feel light on your face. But you still can layer on mineral powder to get good coverage and camouflage.

Here are some of the benefits that you get from using mineral foundation as dry powder:

* It deflects light out of creases and wrinkles. This will decrease physical evidence of aging. The mica in mineral powder foundation works slightly better when dry.

* It feels like you are not actually wearing makeup. The powder settles across your skin for a smooth, natural look.

* You can sleep in your dry mineral foundation if you want. It is better to remove makeup if you have the option. Dry mineral foundation will not block your pores and cause the aging that liquid foundations can.

To apply the mineral foundation you will swirl the horsehair brush around in the powder. Tap excess powder off of the horsehair brush. Apply the powder to your face using a circular buffing motion. Keep applying the makeup in layers until you like your look. You will get results that look light, bright and natural. You can apply more cosmetics like blush or bronzer over the mineral foundation.

Some people like to use mineral foundation in wet form. They feel that wet mineral foundation gives them better coverage. Mineral foundation covers evenly either way though, so this is largely a personal preference. Wet mineral foundation gives people a more “made up” look that lots of people think is more glamorous. It may look less natural, but it can be viewed as more professional. It also provides a great palate for additional makeup. The first step of applying wet mineral foundation is to dip the brush in dry mineral powder. Tap the powder off the brush and into your palm or the lid. Do not get the entire mineral foundation wet at once. Moisten the brush and swirl the foundation around. This will make a liquid mineral foundation. Blend with your fingers and the brush.

In the end, it does not matter whether you wear your mineral foundation wet or dry. You will definitely love the natural look and the response of your skin to mineral foundation.
