What are the main differences between Loose, Pressed, and Liquid Mineral Foundation?
The Loose Mineral Foundation comes in Youngblood’s “controlled distribution” packaging.
It has greater coverage capabilities, up to and including camouflage coverage, and
it imparts more of a radiant finish. The Pressed Mineral Foundation contains minerals
and rice powder that delivers more of a matte finish, so it is recommended for oily
and combination skin types. However, the Pressed Mineral Foundation does not have
camouflage capabilities. It is ideal for touch-ups for any skin type. The Liquid
Mineral Foundation is a marine mineral formula with soothing botanical extracts
that offers a surge of hydration with a light to medium coverage.
If a client has a dry and very red skin (rosacea), what kind of foundation would
you recommend?
We suggest using Loose Mineral Foundation because it will definitely cover up rosacea
and is not drying to the skin. The Liquid Mineral Foundation is another good option
because it is very hydrating. If more coverage is necessary, either mix your Loose
Mineral Foundation into the Liquid Mineral Foundation or layer Loose Mineral Foundation
over the Liquid Foundation.
Can you mix the Loose Mineral Foundation with your facial moisturizer or body lotion?
Absolutely. Mixing the Loose Mineral Foundation with a facial moisturizer, body
lotion, or sunscreen makes a nice liquid for your face; this can also be used as
body makeup. Some men may mix a small amount of Rose Beige Loose Mineral Foundation
into sunscreen for a light tint that gives their skin a healthy glow.
What shade of concealer is appropriate for dark circles?
A medium or dark concealer is appropriate due to its warm undertones that will cancel
out and/or conceal the darker pigmentation. If a medium or dark concealer still
needs to be closer to your skin tone, blend a little loose foundation into it. Avoid
using a light concealer to cover up dark circles because this will give the client
a “raccoon appearance.” A light concealer is great as an eyeshadow primer. You can
mix it with a favourite loose eyeshadow to create a customized creamy eyeshadow
(a favourite with more mature clients).
Does Youngblood offer shades designed for ethnic women? Are they natural looking
without appearing ashy?
Yes, Youngblood minerals were specifically created to mirror your natural shade
while enhancing it.
