Instructions for use: The applicator used to apply the base is just as important as selecting the correct shade. pressed powders are best applied with a flat head brush such as our handi brush or flocked sponge and pressed onto the face. If you want full coverage you need to add layers to get the desired look. When your look is completed, minerals can be "set" by misting our D2O or a fine mist of water. If you follow directions, you makeup will stay all day. Minerals float on top of the skin and will not clog or cause irritation. D2O can be misted through the day to add hydration or refresh makeup.
