All mineral makeup isn’t the same. Remember that our products are concentrated so you can’t apply it like traditional makeup. You should also clean, exfoliate and moisturize your skin before applying Valana Minerals™. It’s also important to use good quality brushes. Another thing to remember is to wait 10 to 15 minutes after application to let the minerals “warm up” and settle into your skin.

If your makeup looked, chalky, thick and cakey after application, you may have applied too much makeup or you may be using the wrong undertone. Amazingly, you only need a small amount to achieve great results. Make sure your skin is clean and moisturized. You will notice a difference if you use poor quality tools so use good brushes made for mineral cosmetics and clean them occasionally. Visit the Makeup School – Studio for application tips.
