Tools for Mineral Foundation

Are you using the right tools?? Do you know which brushes to use with minerals?? Maybe that's why that new mineral foundation might not be working out for you.

I can't stress enough how important it is to use the right brush with your new mineral makeup.

Without the right brush, your mineral foundations is going to be looking a little "cakey" and may not cover well. It may just settle into your pores and fine lines and as a result accentuate them.

Which is exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to do. So if you have used your regular powder brush, you already know what I am talking about ..

Tools for Mineral Foundation:

For Mineral foundations a Kabuki Brush is an absolute must!! It can be a flat top or a dome, that doesn't matter, nor if it's natural bristles or synthetic. What good is your mineral foundation if you don't have the right tools to apply it?? You need the right tools to get the job done!!

Kabuki brushes offer you a medium - full foundation coverage, as it's dense brush, and the bristles are tightly packed & firm. Therefor, it picks up minerals really well and is able to evenly distribute these minerals on your face in light weight layers.

If your looking for a brush that offers a light -medium coverage, you'll want to look into a flat top buffer brush. This one will give you a lighter coverage as it's a little less dense than a kabuki. Still the same idea, and you use the same technique, just slightly less dense bristles.

I personally prefer a synthetic kabuki as I find natural hair brushes can sometimes be a little scratchy& tend to shed. This is only my personal opinion.

I hope someone finds this helpful, let me know if there are any questions or something is unclear :D
