Personalize Your Mineral Makeup Application

Krissy Ferro

Today is a chill-out day, but tonight is a glam night, and tomorrow you’re on the most important interview of your career. How does a gal switch her look without switching products and colors? It’s all in the application baby!

Easily switch from soft and natural to an airbrushed finish, minimal coverage to full out coverage, with the flick (and switch) of your makeup brush and the way you use it. Yep, it’s just that easy!

Moisturize Moisturize Moisturize!!
Before you sweep, swirl, swish, or stroke anything on that gorgeous face of yours, be sure to cleanse and moisturize with the proper (and chemical free) products geared for your skin type. Ferro Cosmetic’s concentrated mineral makeup will glide on effortlessly and evenly. Plus you need a lot less to do the job!

Eau Natural (Chill Out Day)
Ok, so no one needs to know you didn’t roll out of bed THAT gorgeous.
But to achieve the most natural effect, less is more, and Matte is best.

FOUNDATION
The Brush: Flawless Face Brush
The Reason: Minimal product is applied to the face due to the loose, soft bristles of this brush holding less product than our traditional foundation brushes (Fabuki, Flat Top). Lightly sweep over T-zone applies BOTH Radiance and Ultimate Foundations easily
The Result: A light application of our minerals leaves a shine-free, fresh looking face.

CHEEK COLOR
Eau Natural is all about looking like you are wearing nothing at all (on your face that is), so keep the color minimal. A very light application with minimal product in your brush is all you need, and if you’re already using these products, you can even use what’s left in your brush from a previous application. Here are a few quickie tips for a quick dose of healthy color:
Lighter to medium skin tones can use Ferro’s Crystal (dewy finish) or Matte Mineral Veil in AMBER, applying everywhere the sun would hit the face (cheekbones, forehead, nose, chin) for a simple sheer wash of color using the Flawless Face Brush.
Glow Bronzers in your “season” shade (the Glow shades are named by season to dictate tone and depth, Winter Kiss a pale bronzy peach, Summer Kiss a rich bronze), applied everywhere the sun would hit, or on just cheeks.
Blush X only in apples of your cheeks, for a simple flush of color. Or, ADD Blush X3 in a berry shade (like Berrylicious or Merlot) to the Amber Veil or Glow color wash

FINISH
Use your Glow Bronzer or Blush X3 and apply on pre-moistened lips, finish with gloss, and now your lips are truly ready for anything or nothing. A couple coats of chemical free mascara, and you’re good to go!

GLAMAZON
Uh oh, now you’re thinking it’s time to call in the pro’s or go get a professional application for the Glam look…..but before you break out in a cold sweat, you can relax, because the same techniques apply for a more defined, glamorous look!
The Difference
Switching brushes, applying more layers to get more coverage and depth in the shades, al makes for a more glam look, without looking like you’re trying.


FOUNDATION
The Brush: Flat Top Foundation Brush
The Reason: Applies more product to the face in less time and requiring less layers. The flat surface easily fits inside the lid preventing spillage over the sides like Kabuki brushes often do (Ferro’s Fabuki’s are slightly smaller for less mess than traditional kabuki’s), applies our mineral foundation evenly, and gives full coverage when applied to the entire face using Ultimate Foundation.
The Result: A full coverage application of our minerals using less time, less mess, and leaves a shine-free, fresh looking face.

CHEEK COLOR
This is where some confusion may happen, because Glamming it up doesn’t mean more of everything. One of the benefits of using Ferro’s minerals is that it looks natural, so you DO want to see more color here over the Natural look, but you don’t need a heavy hand.
Use the Eau Natural cheek tips, but for Glamming it up, use more color.
Apply a richer Glow Bronzer like Autumn Kiss or Summer Kiss UNDER cheekbones for definition, a dash on forehead and chin, followed by a slightly heavier dose of Blush X3 in apples of cheeks.
ALWAYS FINISH with Matte or Crystal Mineral Veil in your appropriate shade. It will mute cheek color without covering it, and will give a finish similar to a soft focused lens. Veils also work great when applied BEFORE foundation, especially Matte Mineral Veil, because it acts as a primer and absorbs oils all day.

FINISH
One rule of thumb to always follow is if wearing dramatic eyes, go soft on lips and even cheeks. Or, if your lips are the main focus such as the classic red lips, or another bright rich color, softer eyes work best.
Decide which focus you’ll be accentuating, and work it baby!
