Tip: Here are a few ways to work with your sample bags. 1)Simply dip your clean brush into the sample bag. It's best to dust around the "walls" of the bag so you don't use too much.2) Sprinkle a few grains on a clean paper towel. 3) Transfer your pigments to another container. Shake contents to one side of the bag and snip the other side. You can then easily pour the contents of the bag out. MilanMinerals also sells empty sample containers,4/$1.00 .

Prime & Set
Our Primer and Setting powders help complete every look.

1) Sometimes you may be lucky enough to easily choose the shade for you, more often times it may take a few tries.This applies to shopping in an actual department store and definitely when shopping online! Try to choose at least 3 samples in the same range in the event you need to blend to attain your perfect shade.We suggest you look at our samples,choose the shade closest to you complexion and choose the shade 1 step lighter and 1 shade darker in the event you need to blend. MilanMineral foundations are priced so that in the event you do need to blend for a perfect match you never pay more!

2) When sampling mineral foundations, apply them wet and dry to choose which application method gives you the best look. Ladies if you find yourself needing more coverage from your mineral foundation apply wet. The wet method will provide you with more opaque coverage.There also is no need to purchase a seperate concealer! Apply your mineral foundation to problem areas wet for extra coverage.

3) Darker W.O.C - Often times we at MilanMinerals hear the complaint that they tried XYZ'S brand of mineral makeup and felt it made them look "ashy". We can't express enough how important it is for you to apply........and walk away! We know that in the world of traditional cosmetics your're used
to instant gratification. You apply and either it is, or
isn't
your color. We need you to change your mind ladies! Mineral makeup invites you to a new way of approaching your makeup and we think you'll like......no, LOVE IT!
Apply your mineral foundation and as stated above walk away! Give the mineral foundation time to warm to your natural body temperature.If after 10-15 minute of the foundation being on your face, the shade is not a match,then it's time to try a different shade. If you judge it by the initial application you could be missing out!

Mineral foundations are formulated without all the additional oils and ingredients that provide you the instant color pay-off of traditional cosmetics.

If you're initially trying to find a foundation match for yourself,we highly suggest purchasing our
10pc sample set. This will enable you to sample four foundation samples and still have room to test out our color products!
