Applying RJ Mineral Cosmetics
Our team at RJ Mineral Cosmetics International has an encyclopaedia of application, tips and tricks to applying our wonderful Mineral Makeup - below we have given some basic ideas to get you started.
Mattifying Primer Gel:
Give your skin a hydration boost while evening out skin tone for a flawless finish. Mattifying Primer gel is best used when applied before foundation whether it is a powder, liquid or compact. It is particularly great for those who have dry skin or an oily complexion as it allows foundation to disperse evenly without grabbing to dry or oily areas.
Apply: Using either total coverage face brush or clean finger tips, apply a small amount of the Mattifying primer gel over entire face, wait for it to absorb into the skin then continue to apply foundation as usual.
Mattifying Primer Powder:
The mattifying primer powder has the same concept as the mattifying primer gel but in a powder form. The powder is great for those in particular with oily to combination skin types. It evens out the skin tone so that the foundation will evenly disperse on the skin without grabbing to oily/dry areas. The beauty of this product is that it helps to absorb excess oils throughout the day, keeping your skin looking dewy NOT oily!
Apply: Tip a small amount into the lid, dip and swirl kabuki brush into the product. Tap down, and tap off any excess product. Use a light circular or stroking motion over face.
Mineral Foundation Powder:
Feels just like a second skin, so light it’s as if you are wearing no makeup at all but gives all the coverage that every woman wants. Not only does it feel and look flawless but it has the added bonus of giving your skin SPF20+ protection from today’s environment while feeding your skin with vitamins and minerals.
You don’t even have to feel guilty if you sleep with it on as it is non-comedogenic!
RJ Mineral Cosmetics International Mineral Powder Foundation is a truly new concept in make-up and it may take a few tries to get your application 'just right' - but don’t give up, the results are well worth the effort and you will be amazed with the results you will get from RJ Mineral Cosmetics Mineral powder Foundation!
Apply: Finding a colour to suit yourself or a client apply a small amount of mineral foundation along the jaw line, if it blends in and there are no obvious lines, then it’s a perfect match. There are over 30 shades to choose from so there is something to suit every skin tone.
- Always apply minerals in thin layers, two is usually sufficient.
- Make sure your Mattifying Primer Gel or moisturiser has absorbed before you apply mineral powder.
Turn the jar over, tap the bottom with your finger, turn right side up, and open.
You should find a small amount of RJ Mineral Cosmetics Mineral Powder Foundation in the lid.
Swirl your Professional Kabuki brush in the foundation, and tap the excess back into the lid.
Begin applying with short, feathery, downward strokes and/or light circles.
You want the fine hairs and pores of your skin to lay flat, so try and finish with light downward strokes.
Concealing:
If you need to conceal or correct a blemish or imperfection RJ mineral cosmetics have the perfect correctors and concealers to do so.
They come in three different formulas- powder, liquid or cream compact so there is a product to suit every range or personal preference.
Apply: Before you apply you Mineral Foundation in order for corrector or concealer to be blended so that there are no obvious lines or spots.
Use our Cover/Fill Brush for small areas/spots or our Total Coverage Face brush for a heavier coverage; this is especially good for areas under the eyes and for concealing large pores.
Yellow: To correct dark circles under the eyes with a purple or blue undertone or bruises
Pink: Corrects blue and purple blemishes, veins, and bruises.
Green: To correct red blemishes including rosacea, pimples and acne
Apricot: A great general corrector can be used on all types of blemishes or imperfections with slight colouring. Can be used under the eyes if they are slightly dark, pigmentation and large pores. An apricot corrector also helps to liven up skin tone which may appear dull and grey.
Mauve: Corrects blue and black imperfections and discolouration including facial veins and bruises it also contracts any yellow pigmentation or spots.
Light beige, medium beige, dark beige: Great concealers for all skin types, and will help to conceal most unwanted areas of pigmentation and blemishes. A great general concealer! When choosing a skin toned concealer always choose one lighter than your foundation shade, this enable the concealer to cover correctly.
Setting Powder:
Want a longer lasting finish? Mineral Setting Powder is the answer you have been searching for!
Available in 5 different shades both translucent and skin tones; so there is one to suit everybody’s needs.
A simple application over the top of foundation before applying blush and eye shadow etc, will set the makeup and take away any oily/shiny areas for a matte finish.
Apply: After applying foundation, use the Professional Kabuki or Flawless face brush and apply a thin layer all over the face.
Moisture Setting:
Hydrate your skin and set your makeup at the same time. If you have a drier skin condition, spritz a little skin freshener on top of your Mineral Foundation, this will re-hydrate your skin and correct a dry or flaky look.
Apply: Hold spritz a little way from face and spritz, it’s as easy as that. Also, if you mist with the skin freshener, and then use a flocked sponge or brush to lightly smooth your make up in a downward motion; you will minimize the appearance of large pores. Spritz whenever skin is feeling dry or you feel the need for a refresher, perfect for those who are travelling.

There are so many different eye shadows to choose from ranging from mattes to glimmers, brights and more. There are eye shadows to create every desired look and compliment every range.
