Application of Pure Foundations: After a couple of practices, it should only take you about 30 seconds to apply a flawless foundation finish.
With the lid on the jar, briefly tip the jar upside down and then right side up again. This releases a little of the powder onto the sifter.
Take the lid off the jar and swirl your Flat Top brush onto the sifter to pick up some powder. Tap off any excess - you only want a hint of powder on your brush.
Tip the brush upside down and tap the handle end on a hard surface, like the bathroom counter. This settles the powder into the brush bristles.
Firmly buff the foundation onto your face in small circular movements. Repeat the process until the coverage desired is achieved.
For blemishes or redness, a separate concealer is not usually needed. Simply use a soft, natural bristle shading brush to apply small amounts directly onto the problem areas and blend well.
If you prefer a liquid foundation or concealer, simply blend a little of the powder with your usual moisturiser and apply accordingly.
'Pure Foundation' may contain any or all of the following ingredients:
Titanium Dioxide: A natural inorganic mineral, brilliant white in colour with many times the covering power of Zinc Oxide. Used as a colorant and absorbant. It can successfully reflect UVA, UVB and UVC rays. The presence of this ingredient helps prevent skin cancer and premature aging of the skin.
Zinc Oxide: A mineral compound of Zinc and Oxygen,Zinc Oxideis a mild antiseptic agent used to protect, soothe and heal the skin. It contributes to the opacity, coverage and colour in foundation. Because it has the ability to reflect UVA and UVB rays, it is an ingredient often found in sunscreens.
Iron Oxides:A naturally occurring compound of iron and oxygen found in a wide range of colours from yellow to black. These fine powders are used to create various foundation colours, produced by mixing these groups of iron oxides in different ratios.
Mica:A naturally occurring silicate found in a variety of rocks. Easily distinguishable by its shape, it comes in thin, papery sheets. Mica has a natural iridescence and varies in color from brownish green and blue to colourless. Cleopatra used crushed Mica in her cosmetics thousands of years ago. Look for cosmetics (eyeshadows, lip colours etc) with a high Mica concentration and little other ingredients.
UltraMarine Blue: Is an intense rich blue powder created by finely crushing the semi-precious stone, Lapis Lazuli. Lapis Lazuli is deep azure blue colour and the stone was treasured by ancient Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations. It was often worn by royalty and used by Egyptians for cosmetics.
Kaolin Clay:Originally came from the Kaoling Hill in Kiangsi Providence in China. A white powder insoluble in water, it absorbs oils secreted from the skin. Clays are used to draw our impurities and toxins through absorption and is great for insect bites and stings. Because clays can aid in removing old sebum that is clogged in pores, it is often used in Face Masks.
