How to find the appropriate mineral foundation color:
It's easy! Apply a vertical line of UltraPure Cosmetics Flawless Finish Foundation with a Q-Tip or Liquid Mineral Foundation Brush on the jaw line, blending it out. The right shade will seamlessly disappear into the skin. If the color is too light, you will look "pasty" or "ghostly", if it is too dark, it will look like "dirt".
You may notice pink, red, or yellow undertone to your skin. You will find undertone indicators for the foundations as (Y) for Yellow, (P) Pink, (N) Neutral, (W) Warm, or (R) Red which also can help you select the appropriate color.
If you have very sallow skin (yellow undertones) and you want to use a foundation to correct that issue, then choose a foundation that has more pink undertones FF120 Fawn or FF108 Beachbabe.
If you have rosacea or very pink undertones, you may want to choose a foundation with more yellow undertones such as FF101 Light, FF103 Warm Glow, FF102 Soft Beige, or FF105 sheer Honey.
First time using UltraPure Cosmetics? We recommend starting with UltraPure's Mineral Perfection Sets. Each set contains two Flawless Finish Foundations (2g) to help you select the perfect shade,1 Matte Setting Powder (2 g), 1 Light-Reflecting Blush (1g), 1 10ml Ultra-Mousse Foundation, and 1 Ultimate Buffer Brush. It is available in Light, Medium, Med/Dark, and Dark skin tones.
Application Tips:
Apply a small amount of Flawless Finish Foundation on the tip of the Ultimate Buffer Brush - swirl the product into the brush, using the lid of the jar to help evenly disburse the foundation (this is an important step to get the best look possible). Less is more with UltraPure Cosmetics Foundation because we do not put fillers in the product! Apply in a circular motion, starting at the jar line and working your way around the face.
The Flawless Finish Foundation always looks better 15 minutes after application, once the minerals have warmed up on your skin. Use the Liquid Mineral Brush to apply Flawless Finish Foundation around eyes, eye-lids, nose, blemishes, and/or hyperpigmentation.
Larger pores? Minimize the look of larger pores by using a small latex sponge (dry or slightly damp). Apply a small amount of Flawless Finish Foundation onto sponge working it over the area where concealing is necessary.
Buff out with Ultimate Buffer Brush. Finish with a light dusting of Matte Setting Powder.
