1) Applying momominerals makeup

Foundation/Finishing powder

Cleanse and moisturize your face before the application of your momomineral makeup. For optimal results, your skin should be clean and dry.

Step 1 : Tap it

Gently tap a small amount of mineral powder onto the lid of the jar.

Step 2 : Swirl it

Swirl your Kabuki brush around the lid until the minerals are completely infused into the brush.

Step 3 : Tap it again

Tap the brush lightly to remove any excess powder.

Step 4 : Buff it

Use gentle circular strokes to work in your momominerals foundation makeup along your jaw line and move inward towards the centre of your face. Re-apply according to the amount of desired coverage.

Step 3 : Layer it

You will achieve a more natural, flawless finish if you build up several light layers by repeating steps 1 to 4 again.

And there you have it!

Makeup that lasts for the entire day.

Tips :
For dry/flaky skin, a crème foundation can be easily made by adding a drop of moisturizer to the powder, then blending the products together into a smooth creamy consistency. Apply foundation gradually in thin layers until you reach the desired coverage.

6) Patch test

momomineral makeup is gentle to our skin as it is free from harmful chemicals and irritants. It is so gentle that even Acne, Rosacea and sensitive skin sufferers can use them. Even so, all of us are bound to be allergic to something. (Some people are allergic to sunlight even) This is a simple test to find out.

The patch test is a way of determining an individual's sensitivity to skin products, including cosmetics. To do the test, cleanse a small area of the skin behind the ear, and apply a small quantity of the cosmetics to it. After 1 full day, wash the area gently with soap and water. If there is any redness, burning, itching, blistering or eruptions, the reaction is positive and the cosmetic should not be used.
