>> successful application. It sounds like several of you are applying

>> the product with the sponge that is in the container or with a powder

>> puff - this is probably the hardest method. As a makeup artist I've

>> practiced with this product a lot. Both Ms. Iredale (and the two

>> companies you refer to are the same firm) and I recommend using a

>> brush for the initial application and then following up with a small

>> pointy sponge for the additional coverage needed spots. A blush

>> brush is too small and a standard powder brush too " puffy " . I prefer

>> a chiseled, flat/tapered powder brush - soft. I've also had good

>> success with a new capra flat brush that isn't even offered on our

>> web site yet - but it will be soon. Dip the brush into the powder,

>> tap it lightly on the edge of the container to rid of excess then

>> lightly touch to face then drag - not a dusting motion. With these

>> brushes I've been able to apply to post laser skin which is extremely

>> sensitive. Also, weekly clean your brushes. These are natural

>> fiber, a little brush cleaner or even hair shampoo works well. Get

>> the bristles damp, add cleanser, suds, then rinse very well. With a

>> soft clean towel blot and shape the bristles then let air dry. If you

>> are using the flat flocked pink spong it too can be easily cleaned

>> with soap and water. Watch out for bacteria that can accumulate in

>> the traditional sponge wedges or in powder puffs - these are really

>> riskier for those with bacterial sensitivities.

>> As for color selection because these are natural minerals the colors

>> may vary slightly with manufacturing batch but it shouldn't show up

>> on the skin. I also find that with brush application there is often

>> more than one shade that works for most people.

>> Bisque, Satin and Suntan are neutral beige shades without pink tones.

>> Warm Silk, Amber and Warm Sienna have a definate warm, yellowish cast

>> that can be helpful in camouflaging red tones.

>> Cool Sand, Light Biege and Natural are cooler tones without a yellow

>> cast.

>> I hope your group finds this information helpful. We are also going

>> to put the tip sheet on-line so you can download it directly from the

>> site.
