Many products out there are “noncomedogenic,” meaning that they won’t clog pores and cause acne or cystic acne. Aside from using only products that are noncomedogenic, special application steps should be followed to further help avoid potential problems when combining mineral and liquid makeup. Here are some tips for combining liquid with mineral powder:

• Make sure that the liquid makeup goes on first.
• Always apply liquid makeup as a thin layer with a sponge.
• When the liquid product has dried, run a dry sponge over your entire face to wipe off any excess that might have lingered.
• Once the liquid makeup is dry and applied to your liking, the dusting of mineral makeup can begin. Caking on can cause irritation, so be sure to use light, even strokes while applying.

You probably invest a good amount of time into putting yourself together and looking your best each morning. But as soon as you walk outside, with all the pollution and things in the air, your skin becomes saturated with a ton of free radicals like dirt and oil. At some point, you’ll probably want to touch up your makeup, but it’s important that you try to remove some of that junk from your skin first. Using an oil-blotting sheet or tissue on your face should help reduce the transfer of bacteria by lifting off the excess oil from your skin. The most beneficial ones are the sheets infused with tea tree oil (not sheets that are powder-coated), which can help with removing some of the bacteria.

After dabbing your skin with an oil-blotting sheet or tissue, begin with a multipurpose product, like a multicolored powder that can be used in many ways on your face or a lipstick that can be used as a blush substitute. Add or fix your color where needed and then take a mattifying liquid,  put it into the palm of your hand, and mix it with a bit of antibacterialgel then press that on top of your makeup. Doing this will actually make it look like you’ve taken out a brush and put more powder on to give yourself a refreshed appearance

Makeup brushes should be replaced every six months. A thorough sanitizing every three uses is necessary to clean away the dirt and oils that have saturated the bristles. The hair on the brushes, if it’s natural hair from an animal,will literally, just like your own hair, saturate with bacteria that will then saturate into the actual follicle itself. Natural hair absorbs more bacteria than synthetic hair because it’s pure keratin, and synthetic hair has bristles that are more solid, so you have a better chance of disinfecting a synthetic brush than one made from natural hair. However, regardless of which one you use, even though you are cleaning the brushes, the process will still never completely eliminate all of the bacteria, and it will continue to deposit small amounts onto your skin with each use. This causes free-radical damage, which can then create some of your skin challenges, like acne, premature aging, or sagging skin. To avoid this cycle, find an affordable set of brushes that will allow you to replace them every six months without breaking your bank account.
