Application Techniques
Pure Pressed Base Powders
Apply PurePressed with the brush designed especially for these powders – The Handi. It’s made from squirrel and pony for the softest feel and the evenest coverage. It’s also small enough to throw into a bag. It’s a “go-everywhere,” “do-anything” brush – use it for blush and for blending. Lightly brush The Handi over the pressed powders and apply in downward strokes. Jane Iredale pressed powders are more matte than the loose powders, which is especially useful for those with oily skins.
Tip: Apply Absence Oil Control Primer to prime the skin and provide a perfectly smooth surface for the pressed minerals. Absence control oil can be used by all skin types as a primer and to prevent colour change.
Tip: After you’ve applied blush, without picking up more base powder, use The Handi to blend everything together.
Tip: Use a lighter base in the centre of the face and a darker one around the edges. This pulls the centre of the face out and has the same flattering effect as highlighting.
