Making and Using Mineral Make-Up Concealer for a Flawless Natural Look

Mineral Make-Up Concealer is a “must have”

Concealer will give you more coverage than your foundation blend, it is ideal for camouflaging imperfections. It helps to neutralize the look of blemishes and dark under eye circles.

Use a concealer that is at least two shades lighter than your foundation shade.

Some may think that using a dark concealer is what’s needed; this will only show through under your foundation.

Yellow based concealers are the most common, this is due to the majority of skin has a yellow undertone. For an easy yellow concealer, add more yellow oxide to your lighter foundation powder, grind it thoroughly to prevent streaking on your skin before adding to the moisturizer.

Those with more fair skin usually have a pink undertone and therefore will use concealer to match.

Darker complexions usually have a yellow/red undertone. Be sure that your concealer matches your skin undertone.

Many want to use the green shade, this is not a concealer, it is a color corrector. It is similar to a concealer in ways, the green is far more effective in covering redness on the skin.

If you suffer from spider veins, broken veins, redness on the cheeks, some blemishes, this is fantastic. Once you apply this you do need to use your regular concealer over the green, if not, you will look colored not corrected.
You can make this using your base mix, or a light foundation powder. Take 2 teaspoons of powder and put in your grinder, add 2 to 3 .15 cc scoops chromium green oxide and grind. You may want it greener, it depends on the coverage you achieve from this, and you will need to experiment to get it right for your complexion. Your face will be the testing canvas.

The color can easily be adjusted by adding additional red iron oxide,yellow iron oxide or ultramarine blue.
