A Flawless Face in 45 Seconds or Less!


Always wanted a quick way to look absolutely flawless? All you need is MAC Mineralize Skinfinish + a Kabuki brush!

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish is one of my favorite products.  If you don't have time to wear makeup but still want to look somewhat put together, all you need is this product and a big brush! There is no need to use a Kabuki brush if you don't have one, just use any fat brush.

Now you may be asking yourself...what is a Kabuki brush? Kabuki brushes originated in ancient Japan, where Geisha and performers in Kabuki theatre relied on the dense bristles of this brush to give them the flawless finish that they needed.  Centuries later, you can get Kabuki brushes at a wide variety of price points anywhere makeup is sold. My favorite is MAC Brush #182, shown below.  Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart will also have a number of brushes to choose from - just make sure you get goat hair!


How to apply this product? Swish the brush into the product so that you have an even coating of powder all over the brush, then buff it into your face. Buff = apply in circular motions all over your face. You will instantly look flawless, even, and glowing....and it takes under a minute. You can adjust the coverage as necessary - the dense goat hair bristles on a kabuki brush provide moderate to full coverage.

What order to wear this in? A few options below:

- Moisturizer, then concealer, then mineralizer for a natural look
- Moisturizer, foundation, concealer, then mineralizer for a polished look that will stay put!  *note* when you apply this on top of foundation, it may darken the color a little bit. Just something to keep in mind!

Happy Mineralizing!!
