Once you have applied the mineral veil powder, you mineral makeup is complete. All you will need to do is apply your mascara and lip gloss, and go. Feel free to apply eyeshadow as well, but if you are going for a minimal and more natural look, use a neutral eye shadow. Using mascara and lip gloss adds just the perfect amount of extra color to your completed mineral makeup look. I finished my look with L'Oreal Infallible Lipgloss, one coat of Maybelline Colossal Mascara, and Clinique Quick Eyes Cream Shadow.

Also, you may want to consider finding a really good hydrating facial mist to "set" your makeup, and to carry with you for a quick fix during the day. Some facial mists are formulated to hydrate only, but there are some available that will help your mineral makeup to stay in place all day, even in the heat of summer.
