Not all are blessed with beautiful flawless skin that looks radiant naturally. But it is the innate desire of every individual to look beautiful. Again not everybody would like to spend hours making up their faces or like to have the caked look of stars or damsels from the tinsel world. For such people the next best alternative is the sheer makeup.

Sheer makeup is used to give a clean and natural look. It makes use of natural minerals and hence is also called Sheer Cover Mineral Makeup. No synthetic products or chemicals are used here. It is purely organic in nature.

Applying Sheer Make-up

Appropriate accessories like sponges, brushes and tissues need to be used to apply this make up. Clean the face with cleansing milk and apply moisturizer. Use only good quality products like mineral foundation, concealer for wearing this make up. For first time users, a visit to you beautician would be a great help.

To begin applying the make up, place small blobs of concealer on problem spots like under the eyes, on blemishes and dark spots, on the forehead, on the outer periphery of the lips and blend them in with the skin tone to get a smooth finish. Don’t forget the neck area.

Once the concealer has been dealt with, take a small amount of the mineral foundation on your finger tips. Dab small spots all over the face and neck. Blend it in gently with the tips of your fingers taking care not to leave any patches. If done properly this make up could give the face a glowing look.

If the mineral foundation has thickened, dilute the quantity you want to use with a few drops of water on a flat surface. Apply this with the help of a sponge.

If you are using a powder foundation, use a soft brush and apply using small quantities. Remember the glowing effect can be had with small quantities too. So avoid dabbing generously. With the tip of the brush, take just a bit of the powder.

If excess powder sticks to the brush tap off gently on the table with the back end of the brush, keeping the bristles upwards. Brush the face lightly to cover all areas. If excess powder sticks to the face, dust off with tissue.

Applying luminous powder over mineral foundation can give an ageing skin a youthful look.
