Use an an all-pupose brush to apply the mineral foundation.

Once you have concealed any problem areas set your concealer brush to the side. You may need it later for small touch-ups. Now you can take the all-purpose brush and begin applying the foundation to the rest of your face.

Just as with the concealer brush, use the all-purpose brush to swirl the foundation, and then tap away the excess before applying it to your face. If you need more foundation in the lid, feel free to add more as needed. Once you have the minerals on the brush, start at the outside jaw area of you face and apply the mineral makeup, using a swirling motion. Work your way from the sides of your face inward and then cover your forehead, nose, eyes, chin, and mouth area. You should reapply the mineral powder to your brush 1-2 times while using the all-purpose brush.
