Sheer cover makeup - find how to apply - good video tutorial by celebrity makeup artist Daniel Sandler thanks to Videojug.com.

This is the base you need to have a flawless looking skin, so learn how to apply sheer cover makeup properly with VideoJug. What do you need for sheer cover makeup?

You will need: foundation brush, light shimmery foundation, under eye concealer

Foundation Apply a moisturiser and primer to prepare your skin before putting on any foundation. Apply your foundation with a brush, starting on the central panel of your face and working outwards. Brushes give a lighter, more even finish than sponges, so cover the entire face with light touches. Use longer strokers for the areas of the face that need less make-up, such as the forehead and neck, and shorter strokes for areas that need more coverage, such as the eye and nose area.

Concealer Use a brush to apply your concealer under each eye, and rub it in with a finger. It should move with the skin, like foundation. If the concealer goes cakey, the formula you are using is too dry. Apply around the nose and lips to lock in lip colour and make the lips appear fuller. The concealer should complement and mirror the shade of your foundation. If your primer, foundation and concealer are all silicon based, they will last much longer.

Sheer mineral makeup

by Dr. Bianca Tavares

Sheer mineral makeup is nothing new. In fact the Egyptians were using it over two thousand years ago. However it’s now back at a makeup counter near you bringing with it freshness, convenience and a much healthier skin.
As a doctor I know what damage some traditional makeup products can cause the skin if worn over time for prolonged periods without adequate cleansing. So the advent of sheer mineral makeup to the cosmetic counters is a major breakthrough in healthy living and skincare.

Sheer mineral cosmetics have their basis in ground-up minerals, including various metal ores and iron oxide. Being natural, they are allergen-free and contain no chemical dyes, added preservatives, fillers, perfumes, oils or talc - or other ingredients commonly found in traditional makeup products.

Sheer mineral makeup contains only pure mineral pigments in concentrated form. Due to their concentration they perform the functions of concealer, foundation and powder - and incredibly all in a single application which binds to the skin so well that very little touch-up is required as the day progresses.

After sheer mineral makeup is first applied - and this can be done very simply with a brush - the skin might appear a little powdery, but after a short time you will find that it is taken up very well by the natural oils within the skin. And incredibly, you’ll find that by nighttime your face will look just as fresh as it did in the morning when the makeup was first applied, without shine or streaks.

Mineral makeup’s purity means that it works well with most skin types and you will find that it adds a day-long youthful sheen to your skin. But it also possesses several other benefits:

How To Apply Sheer Cover Make-Up

SUNSCREENSheer mineral foundation powders also contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that act as a reflective
coating which blocks the harmful effects of the sun. In addition natural forms of Vitamins A and E are regularly added which have anti-oxidant benefits and also help prevent photo aging of the skin.ANTI-ALLERGYSince synthetic dyes, perfumes and preservatives are avoided in the composition of sheer mineral makeup, there is little risk of skin sensitivity to the ingredients, resulting in a considerably reduced risk of longer-term allergic reactions.

EASY APPLICATION

Sheer mineral makeup can be applied quickly and easily with a brush or sponge, and when applied to clean moisturized skin, it doesn’t smear or run. To immediately do away with the initial powdery effect, all you need to do is mist your face lightly even with ordinary water.

VERSATILITY

Due to it’s day-long enduring qualities, mineral makeup is not only ideal for those with hectic lifestyles, but it has also found favor in the film and tv industries. Plus, it is often provides a great solution for many with existing skin problems, such as those caused by burns.

Now let’s take a look at the cost. If you are used to cosmetic counter prices, you aren’t going to be totally shocked. However, you should also consider the savings you can make by using mineral makeup. What would you normally put on your face before venturing out in the morning? After a moisturizer, how about a primer? Then there are concealers, foundation, blusher, creams, powder…

However when using mineral makeup, after using a moisturizer, you’ll find that many products which were once a part of your daily regimen, now become totally redundant. So the overall savings could be quite significant. And think about the time saving too!

Modern mineral makeup represents a major advance not only in cosmetics but also in skincare and your overall well-being.

How To Apply Foundation

Nowadays mineral foundation is one of the most loved makeup articles but probably of which women know less.
The mineral foundation makeup has the role to improve the esthetic aspect of the complexion but at the same time to protect it from the UV rays, free radicals, to hydrate it. Chose it correctly, the mineral foundation may become the most precious allied of your beauty.
The alternatives are boundless: maybe this is the real reason for which most of the women don’t succeed to find the right one adapted to their needs.
The result of a wrong chose… like in any other domain, it is disastrous - the not wanted “mask” effect , maybe to dark or to light, the skin excessively shining or dry, exfoliated, noticeable wrinkles …
One must test the mineral foundation before buying it, that’s why instead go to buy it from a pharmacy is better to go to buy it from the big cosmetic shops or from the departments where there are testers.
That’s why you have to follow the next steps to be sure that you chose the right complexion for your skin

1. Take always into consideration your skin type and choose the formula created especially for it. If you have oily skin, the etiquette has to contain the words “oil-free”, “oil-control”, or “mattifying”, and if it’s dry, select the moisturizing formulas (”moisturizing”, “hydrating “, “moisture-rich”).
Mattifying foundation, which contains powder, usually fits mix complexion. If you need an additional anti-wrinkle effect, search the products where written “lifting” or “firming”.

2. Go to the cosmetic shop without foundation on your face, powder or blush; but you can have makeup on your eyes, lips and to hydrate your face with a day-cream

3. Choose some colors close to your natural skin color which you may test. Generally are indicated the scales of colors based on yellow or beige, which look well on the majority of skin types. Anyway, if your skin is too light you may try a pinky tint. Do not ever choose a darker shade than your natural skin color - if you don’t find a product which fits you perfectly, select a lighter one (but the difference has to be very little, almost noticeable).

4. Apply tiny drops of different shades of foundation on your mandible line. Even if the classic method says that you have to apply the foundation on the back of your hand or on the wrist to verify the shade, it is advisable to try it directly on your face - the skin from this areas doesn’t have the same color (sometimes it maybe once or twice lighter, because of the sun).

5. Ask for a mirror which you can hold in your hand and go close to the window or the door, so you can see how does it look all the shades under the natural light. The perfect foundation is that you cannot distinguish from your skin, because they melted into each other.

6. After you bought the foundation go home and test it again carefully and paying attention. If you realize that it doesn’t fit, you can go back to the shop and change it (if the shop rules permit this, and to be clever assure you that this is possible from the beginning, before buying the mineral foundation makeup).

7. The modern technology in cosmetics elaborated in the last years special formulas, which color adapts depending on the skin color. If you think that you are not able to make the right selection, try this product (but you have to be aware of the fact that this product doesn’t make miracles, for example, if your skin color is dark you choose the lighter one).

For a perfect complexion…

Apply 5 drops of mineral foundation makeup: on your forehead, nose, chin and on each of your cheeks and after that spread it on your face with a special sponge or with your fingers. Anyway, take into consideration the demarcation line (hair roots and the bound of your mandible) which mustn’t be noticeable - stump very well these areas, because if you don’t do this you look like you put a mask on your face.
If you use an anti-circles, you can apply it under or after the foundation but it’s color has to be lighter than the foundation.
For a pale and fresh aspect, you may finish you makeup with powder which will help the mineral foundation to fix and will absorb the sebum excess. The shade of the foundation makeup that you use during the winter has to be once lighter than that one that you use on summer, when the skin is tanned. If you use blush too, choose a tint a little bit more darker for the cold season.
