Holy moly I feel as though I've stumbled upon the best kept makeup secret for MMU. I was browsing the BE Addicts forum and saw a post for wet application. You basically load up your brush with powder, spritz the brush a few times (some use normal tap water, others use mineral water/rose water/any other spritzer or setting spray) and then buff the minerals unto your skin until the brush is dry. I did this yesterday and through trial and error you learn how many spritzes are enough to dampen the brush. If the brush is too damp, it ends up looking streaky, and if it is not damp enough the brush dries fast before you can evenly distribute the minerals. Just when I thought my LM MMU couldn't look better, I'm blown away by the coverage this method gives me. It truly looks 10X better than applying it dry, because it gets rid of the powdery or ashy look of some MMU's. Those who've given up on MMU because they feel it magnifies pores should give this method a try. My makeup stays fresh longer and I get less oil breakthrough. Wearing primer or sunscreen underneath doesn't affect how this applies, and applying my LM MMU wet doesn't affect the dewiness and glow that I love...I think it actually enhances the dewiness. I will never go back to applying my minerals dry.
Here's the thread in the BE Addicts forum that contains before and after pictures. You may have to register to view it, but seeing is believing!!

Yes, it's true that this doesn't work for every MMU. It's just like how some MMU's apply better with a kabuki & buffing, and some apply better with a flat top brush & little or no buffing.
I use Aromaleigh & GeoGrafx MMU's - the spritzing method works great with the AL, but not with the GG.
Another method is to take your regular facial moisturizer or oil & put just enough for one application into your palm - then add a sprinkle of MMU (enough for one application). Mix with your fingertip, then apply like liquid foundation. This seems to work best for those with dry skin. |
