First, get the best shade of mineral makeup foundation there’s in the store. To do that, you’ve to choose the color that matches the color of your skin. Just to give you an idea, some brands classify their shades by fair, fair/light, light, light/medium, light medium/medium, medium, medium deep and deep.

Once you bring it home, go to the bathroom and then clean your face thoroughly using either soap or a facial cleanser. After washing, pat yourself dry with a soft towel.

Now comes the fun part. Open the mineral makeup foundation and before dipping it using your finger or a brush, tap the side of the container first. Right after, dip in the brush, swirl it a bit and then tap it on the side to remove any excess powder.

With a sufficient amount of powder in the brush, this is when you buff the mineral makeup into your skin. Do this gently in circular motions up and down your face. Put more attention under the eyes because this spot is often overlooked and when you’re done, apply other makeup products so you add the finishing touches to your face.

For those who are not happy after applying blush to their face, you can fix this by mixing it with a bit of mineral makeup powder or by applying a second coat on top of the cheeks where the blush was applied.

Applying mineral makeup foundation and using the other stuff can be done in less than 5 minutes.

The nice thing about mineral makeup foundation is that you do not have to put too much on your face to get the desired effect. If it’s warm, you do not have to worry that it will run because this is one of the features of this product.

This means that you only need to apply this once a day and if you’re too tired to remove this before you go to bed, do not worry because you don’t have to do this before going to sleep.

When you purchase mineral makeup foundation from the store, look at the ingredients written in the label, its volume and the price. If you think that everyone uses the same materials and sells it a little higher or lower than their counterparts, your basis of purchasing should be based on the net content as this will tell you how much powder is in each bottle.

So, how to start?

Of course, in order to promote the product well, you need to testify its effectiveness.  How can you do that if you don’t even use or support the product yourself?  Start learning about the product.  Learn the ingredients and their different effects, whether they’re positive or negative effects.  There would be prospects or future customers who’d definitely ask about mineral makeup.

There are two options to choose from when you’ve decided to go into this business:

1. There are some business owners or entrepreneurs who decide to mix or create their own products at home.
2. There are some owners who prefer to purchase makeup which are already mixed.  They can be labelled and sold privately.  They can also be bought in bulk.

On the latter, pre-mixed products can come with customized labels with your business name.  But some entrepreneurs choose not to have labelling included.  They tend to do the labelling on their own to save on manufacturing costs.

If you decided to mix your own, the internet is also a great source of ingredients.  There are even recipes for mixing your own make-up.

If your friends or family have opinions on your cosmetics, welcome it.  What they think is how most customers would also think.  So ask them for their opinions.

When you’re still starting, it’s important to meet customers personally.  This would build your credibility.  Try going to beauty salons and provide them samples.  By doing this, you’re introducing your product first- hand.  This would help you build your credibility, since they’d get to know you as the business owner and not think that your product is a scam.

To make sure that your business will be successful, then you’ve to make sure that you’d have returning customers and new customers.  Your customers should be satisfied, not only with the product, but also with the care that you provide.

Once, customer relation is already done.  Then market your products online. Having a dedicated site or blog for your product would definitely boost your mineral makeup popularity.  Make sure that there are testimonies about your product.  If there are suggestions or questions posted by potential online customers, make sure that you always answer them promptly.  This is also another part of credibility building and customer relationship.

Mineral makeup business is a great opportunity.  Some entrepreneurs would only need around $200 to start.  Since mineral make-up isn’t yet mass-produced,  home based mineral make-up business will surely step up.
