If your foundation appears pasty, here are a few possibilities:

  1. The brush: The wrong brush can really make a difference in mineral makeup. Ensure you are using a good quality brush intended for mineral makeup application.
  2. Too much product on the brush: Mineral makeup is concentrated color. A little can go a long way. So start slowly and work your way to perfect in layers, only using it where needed.
  3. The wrong shade: Caught between pink & yellow? Minerals make it easy to blend shades to create your perfect skin tone. Remember to blend down your neck.
