After Leslie Blodgett, sold out her US  based bare mineral brand due to declining sales, stock fraud, unethical labor procedures, the well known, 140 plus years in business Shiseido Co. purchased BE for the small sum of $1.7 billion.  Ms. Blodgett is quoted as saying, “Going into Japan is a challenge.  We want to introduce to them a natural approach to makeup. And we have already seen that women are embracing that. It always starts small and through word-of-mouth.”

bare mineral will be a hard sell to the women of Asia, especially Japanese women that prefer skin lightening products, and convention cosmetics.  “We don’t like tan skin, and I can’t see ever using bare mineral products since their foundations are all to dark and too Westernized” said one cosmetic consumer polled.

Shiseido is depending on the bare mineral bare mineral brand to offer them more recognition in International Cosmetics Marketplaces online and within department stores.

“How to Apply Mineral Foundation Like A Pro” by Rae Kat Switzer

Mineral makeup may be the rage of the century, but loose powder mineral foundation application may be a hassle if the foundation product, makeup sponge, or makeup brush used are incorrect.

Viewing Id bare mineral, and Sheer Cover Infomercials leads consumers to believe there isn’t another process of applying mineral makeup cosmetic foundation powders. However, if the powder foundation applications TV infomercials show were working, women purchasing mineral foundation would not be asking so many questions.
Nearly every makeup forum, blog, and mineral cosmetics company website on the internet has a listing of mineral foundation application tips. Most of these mineral foundation application opinions are from everyday consumers, it’s great they offer their how-to’s, but professional makeup artists are licensed to learn and practice makeup application techniques 24/7.
Makeup artists worldwide have direct answers on how to apply all types of makeup including mineral foundation makeup. With just a few easy steps mineral foundation makeup application will be flawless.
First remember loose powder mineral makeup is manufactured from different cosmetic companies so it will vary in texture, consistency, adhesion, density, and so forth. The less dense a product is the less likely it will be to adhere with one application. Thicker textures with higher pigment levels in mineral makeup products will result in stronger adhesion and longevity. Poor quality mineral foundation ingredients also lead to poor application. This is the same as for mineral blush, eye shadow, or eye liner powder.
Depending on which mineral foundation powder brand is used dictates to a makeup artist and consumer the correct avenue to choose when applying a mineral cosmetic foundation.
Basic application of loose powder mineral makeup foundation begins with a clean, natural, non-synthetic, makeup brush. Makeup artists prefer a small powder makeup brush with dense soft hairs to pick up the correct amount of powder mineral product.
The wrong makeup brush can lead to holes and tears in the skin as loose powder makeup products are applied. Please note: If delicate facial skin is abused, any type of foundation makeup product can cause staph or bacterial infections, acne, redness, and/or rosacea.  Avoidance of synthetic or harsh makeup brushes and unsanitary self-hygiene habits is extremely important for all makeup users to remember if they want flawless skin. Stop all cross contamination by keeping makeup application tools ultra clean.
Mineral makeup packaging is important it keeps powders fresh and sanitary. Following the below mineral foundation testing procedure below will alleviate powder application overdose.
The common container for mineral foundation powders is usually a cosmetic sifter jar. These mineral sifter jars are great for several reasons.
1.     Mineral makeup sifters allow the user to tap a small amount of product into the sifter jar lid.
2.     Mineral sifters prevent powder spillage. Prevent a mess
A note of caution; It’s smart to leaving the cosmetic sifter in the jar, tapping only a small amount of loose powder mineral foundation as needed into the cosmetic container lid.
Start with a normal mineral makeup foundation powder application method to determine how ingredients look on the skin. Applying mineral powder to the back of a hand is best for new mineral makeup users.
1.     Use a clean makeup sponge and pick up a small amount of product from foundation container lid.
2.     Tap off all excess loose powder on side of container lid. (avoid cross contamination, tap all excess powder into the cosmetic jar lid)
3.     Take foundation sponge and lightly tap mineral foundation from sponge onto back of hand.
4.     Softly sweep makeup sponge over the mineral foundation powder applied to back of hand.

Those are the first steps in testing the quality, texture, and adhesion of a powder mineral foundation makeup brand.

The mineral powder foundation should be smooth on the back of the hand not blotchy or sheer.

If the mineral foundation powder grabbed then either too much product was applied or the makeup brand may be inadequate. Test the skin area product grabbed to see how thick the powder was applied.  Please note that many women makeup users apply foundation products with a heavy hand; this produces a pasty mask face appearance, not the sought after naturally flawless airbrushes appearance.

Thinning an area where too much mineral foundation product has been applied is easy. Use the back side of the makeup sponge and swirl product out to edges of skin.

It’s really easy to apply mineral foundation using the easy steps above.

A few 8% of women that use makeup and skin care treatments care if their makeup is natural or not, according to recent global cosmetic studies.  This means 8% or less of women around the globe use natural mineral makeup loose powder or other natural makeup products.

If consumers had the option of pressed mineral makeup brands instead of all the loose powder mineral makeup brands the poll suggested consumers would use the pressed mineral makeup instead of chemical conventional makeup.

Several mineral makeup companies offer pressed mineral makeup including Pur, Purity, Jane Iredale, Colour ID, Studio Direct, Naked, Estee Lauder, and several others.

In conclusion, it’s wise to know what each makeup ingredient is, as cosmetic ingredient names may sound chemical, but are in fact made from natural ingredients.  Several websites offer full lists of cosmetic ingredients such as the Cosmetic Database, and Wikipedia (though we all know wiki is consumer response, not fact so beware).

Don’t be afraid to venture out of your chemically dependent makeup shell and try pressed powder mineral makeup, it be be the difference in keeping your skin younger looking longer.

Mineral Makeup and Makeup Research finds news in a wide variety of makeup and cosmetics companies offering incentive beauty products to buy and a part is donated. (get real, they should donating all the proceeds of that items, not just part, but ok, so they are at least trying?)

A few makeup companies have listings on Sephora, but you’ll be better off to purchase directly from those companies offering donation products, instead of going through the third party Sephora.  Try Estee Lauder, they always have a great Breast Cancer Awareness, as does Avon.
