How to Correctly Apply our Loose Minerals

If your are new to using Adorn Vegan Loose Minerals and you want to know how to apply them effectively without fuss or muss, see our helpful tutorial to get you up and glowing. 

 

 

1. Choosing Your Application Style:


Decide whether to use the pot with the sifter seal or without.

The sifter seal can be peeled off or modified with holes for controlled dispensing.


2. Minimizing Mess:


To avoid messiness, consider removing the sifter entirely for easy dispensing into the lid.
This prevents the collection of minerals between the sifter and the lid, reducing spillage.


3. Dipping and Swirling Technique:


Use a kabuki brush and dip it directly into the foundation or into the lid for each application.
Swirl the brush in the lid to ensure an even distribution of loose minerals on the brush.


4. Adjusting Coverage:


For light coverage, dip less often and use broader buffing strokes.
For heavier coverage, dip more frequently and press and roll the minerals onto the skin.


5. Choosing the Right Brush:


The adorned kabuki brush offers denser bristles for heavier coverage.
The blush brush or blush bronzer brush, with longer and less dense bristles, provides lighter coverage.


6. Refill Process:


If you opt to remove the sifter, refilling the pot becomes more straightforward.
Dispense refills directly into the pot without the sifter for easier handling.


7. Coverage Options:


Experiment with different techniques to achieve your desired coverage.
Smaller, more frequent dips and presses provide a more covered look.
Larger, less frequent buffing motions result in a lighter coverage.

TRANSCRIPT

Hey, I'm Briony Kennedy, and today I thought I'd show you how to apply your loose minerals in the most effective way without creating a mess.

So you'll have your loose mineral pot. Now, it's up to you, you may like to use your pot with the sifter seal. Now, this is the sifter seal here with all the holes in it. Now, there is a protector seal so you can peel that off, you can put holes and prick holes so just some comes out, and then what you can do is every morning tap it upside down and dispense some into the lid. My personal opinion for less mess is to actually remove this whole sifter out so that then when you are using it each day all of it falls back down here and you're not getting it collecting between the sifter and the lid, so that when you open it, it all falls everywhere. So it's up to you, but my favorite way is to take the sifter out and to use it like this.

Okay, so then what you need to do is dip your kabuki brush into the foundation. Okay, so in this instance, I'm dipping it straight into the foundation, or you might dip it into the lid, but that is the amount that you would need for each application or each area. Okay, so I've got the loose minerals on today. I've already done them, clearly, but this is just to show you how to apply them. So just this little bit on the end, and then you need to use the lid to swirl the minerals and get them nice and even on the brush, so you would be just popping your kabuki brush into the lid and just really quickly getting it nice and even on the brush. Okay, so that you're not having it all so concentrated. So just getting it nice and even.

Okay, and then now I would press that into my face, and you would just keep dipping and moving to different areas as you're dipping more foundation. So if you're wanting a really light coverage, then you would dip less often and you would spread and do bigger buffing motions. If you're wanting a heavier coverage like what I have today, you would be dipping more frequently and pressing and rolling it onto the skin. And then each time you go from one section to another, re-dip it, press it, re-dip it, press. So every time you're moving your brush to another area, you would dip it again and press it into the skin, and you get flawless coverage like what I have now.

Again, if you want that really simple coverage, dip less frequently and use bigger buffing strokes. If you want even less coverage than that, you can use our blush brush or the blush bronzer brush. And then, bearing in mind that it's got bigger bristles and they're a lot longer, you get less coverage. So the shorter the bristles, the shorter the bristles, the more dense they are, the heavier the coverage. And the longer the bristles, the less coverage you have. So if you're trying a different brush that's not our adorned kabuki brush, you may not be getting the coverage that ours would offer you just by it being that little bit shorter and that little bit fatter and more dense.

Okay, so again, you can either use it with a sifter in by piercing some holes or peeling the sifter off or like what I do by taking the whole sifter out and just steeping from within the pot. Then it makes it a lot easier when you're grabbing your refills to dispense into your foundation pot. So hopefully, those little tips helped you with how to get the minerals onto the brush in the least messiest way and those two tips on the bigger buffing for the least coverage and the smaller coverage with more pressing and more regular dips of the foundation to get the coverage I've got today.
