Use a flat top brush with the mineral makeup in order to get more coverage.

If you would like more coverage then you will need to use either a kabuki brush(Compare Prices) or the flat top brush next. Whichever brush you prefer using, simple swirl it in the foundation just like the other brushes, tap off the excess, and gently apply to your skin by using a buffing motion. Begin at the nose and inner cheek area and work your way outwards.

You can also use this technique around the eye area, but be very light-handed when doing so. Once you are finished with the application, gently buff out the jaw line of your face so there are no apparent demarcation lines between your jaw and your neck.
