I need help with putting on my mineral makeup...I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT!! help !~~~~~?

Question

ok i bought this physicians formula mineral wear....and it has a tiny brush and a thing called a sifter cup?? like its flat with holes in it and it sits on top of the little jar.

the directions say "Invert jar and gently tap to allow powder to gather in tray" but....i dont get what that means.....do i turn the jar upside down?? but then all of it will fall through the holes....i dont now how to get the mineral makeup in the tiny tray!!! help

Answer 1

Whoa calm down!  Yes tip the closed jar upside down and tap the bottom, turn up right and make sure there is a scattering of the powder there. Swirl the brush over it to gather, press the brush in four places forehead each cheek and chin then brush all over face in cicular motions. You may need to add more make up. Especially in trouble areas like eyes over zits or around the nose. Just blend well and it u get too much on just grab a tissue and lightly wipe off!

Answer 2

Be careful & don't use too much of the powder foundation.  It only takes the teeniest bit.  Really.  Less than 1/16 of a teaspoon--a few grains.  Swirl the brush in it about 5-6 times.  Then swirl the brush in circles on your face for about 1 1/2 minutes.  No kidding.  It's almost like you're polishing your face.   Swirl, swirl, swirl, buff, buff. buff.  It doesn't sound like it works, but it really does.  If you do it right, it will look like you're not wearing anything on your face, but it will look great.

Answer 3

Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is really good!

Answer 4

you should write a letter to the company that made the product or ask some people from the store you got.

Answer 5

Yes, "invert" means to turn upside down.  Just sprinkle some powder into the cap and use that.

Answer 6

you turn the bottle upside down so that the makeup can go into the top  

Answer 7

I have the bare minerals makeup and it sounds like it is in a similar container. If the holes area small,like a salt shaker, all the makeup won't come out when you turn it over. All you need to do is hold the lid in one hand and with the other hand gently tap the side of the container on the lid and the makeup should fall into the lid. You don't need to actually turn the whole thing completely upside down, just tilt it enough so that the powder comes out.

Answer 8

keep the container closed, flip it upside down for a second and give it a light shake, then bring it upright. tap the jar until most but not all of the powder falls back down. place the brush into the top(with the holes),  lightly swirl it around and then tap the brush against the jar til most of the powder falls off. you then buff the makeup into your skin in a swril and up motion. the holes are to keep the loose powder into the container. you only need a little at a time. theres still powder in the top even though alot of it falls back down. don't use too much or your skin will look caked and old

Answer 9

Pretty much you keep it closed...like with the top screwed on, then you flip it upside down.

Then you flip it right side up and unscrew the cap- some of the powder should be left on the cap.

You then take the brush and swirl it around in the cap to pick up that powder.

It's really not that hard.

Answer 10

lol, i know it is werid but you know a dots on top is for let air into to let all breathe unlike sticky or cakey fountain and small jar is only thing they can invent with top that has dots, and i have a small jar that say invert too.  it means to put jar in upside down as you let powder go down to brush and wait for 30 secs about then upside! and then Invert it, you take a small brush and tap it then do your face . If it is necessary that you need more brushing , you can put top back on and jar go upside down again then tap and brushing again then over again....I know it is frustating but yeah! it is a good minieral with no cakey or oily anything on it. So keep it up....Or you can try take a top wit dots off  if you can! and just use (you also can different kind of brush- brush aint gotta make any effect on your face, ma used softer one because she told me that small brush in jar is hard on her face) brush tapping and brushing .
