This is probably mostly for the pale……….Because mineral makeup is so pigmented it is pretty easy to end up with too much blush on looking like a clown. It’s easy to fix, just take your foundation brush and buff over your cheeks, if this doesn’t work add a touch of foundation to your brush and buff again. This should remove the shocking color.
That is a GREAT tip! Considering that different brands and different blends have different pigmentation, sometimes you never know where to start! I've had this happen quite a few times! LOL

I just wanted to show you all what I've been using for storage & mixing.
I found this cute little jewelry accessory organizer @ Micheal's that I've been using for my eye shadow or blush samples ($4.99). Then I found the artist paint palette @ Wal-Mart for $.99 that I use for mixing colors. The storage containers for the finished colors were @ Wal-Mart too ($.79 & $.99) I use a small scoop to retrieve the colors to put on
The only drawback I've found with the organizer is the lids aren't screw on, they fit over the base. I removed one of the pots and put a "place holder" in there, so now they're easier to get out without spilling anything :0)

Those are great, but thought I'd recommend another great kind of purchase from Michael's for e/s samples- that you can actually take along because they don't leak. There are these plastic paint pots that are attached to each other (and lid is connected at back) that work beautifully for small amounts of MMU. (Like the ones you get the paint in from a paint by number kit.) Also, I've found the screw lid stackable pill jars useful for foundation, blush, etc. I found many 7 for $1 at dollar store. They are also useful as a travel alternative.

My input on tip for MMU application would be... if you want to conceal using mineral foundation use a little visine to mix your foundation powder with. This will make it heavier and help it to last all day long.

What I do for extra coverage and to help minimize pores is mixing a little Mineral foundation with my primer. I currently use the monistat anti-chaffing gel and it turns out really good. I don't know how it'll turn out with other primers. Also, I add little rice powder in the mix because I have very oily skin.
I spritz on Fix+ when I'm done applying my mmu. It eliminates that light, powdery, dry look and makes it look more natural. I have tried applying my mmu wet, but find it gives me an android-y sheen and some streaking.
what is Visine? to conceal with? this is an eye drops? or what?
Hi simismimi, yes visine is eye drops and there is an ingredient in them that soothes pimples and takes the red color out of pimples so using Visine with mineral concealer to cover a pimple works 2 ways. Also since Visine is safe for the eyes it makes a good liquid to mix with eye shadow and line your eyes.

Hi Carly!! thank you so much!
are you sure??? visine is good for the pimples??? its so surprised me because its for the eyes.. not for the skin.. no?
Apply a single thin layer of MMU with your favorite brush. Next, take a liquid foundation brush and pat on SMALL amounts of MMU to areas that need extra coverage. This makes a big difference. I always use it this method.

I forgot about that visine tip, but I have applied visine to pimples at night and it seemed to help them clear up faster! Who'da thunk? Makes sense though, helping reduce inflammation at any rate.
But I've also been applying concealer with a damp concealer brush and the coverage is much, much better. it applies more like a cream. So I think if you add concealer to a wet medium, it makes it thicker and dabs on better than just using it dry!
