How to Apply Signature Minerals Blush Powders
When applying mineral blush powder, keep in mind that you only need the slightest amount to achieve a beautiful and natural effect. (This is not regular powder blush.) For best results apply your blush beginning at the apple of your cheeks sweeping upward along your cheek bone. Just barely touching the blush powder, use your brush to "grab" a tiny amount from the container, swirl the bristles in the lid (or container of your choice), and then tap off all excess.
- For an "apple of cheeks" look, smile and sweep the blush from the apple of your cheeks up to your hairline, ending at your temples.
- For a face lift, work the blush brush back and forth outside the eye area so that the strongest point of color is there.
The lighter shades also work great as all over face colors.
Tips and Color Suggestions for the Perfect Cheek
- Fair Complexions: Try a pale pink or peach blush. Stay away from rich or dark colors. Pale pinks or peach will brighten your complexion without looking unnatural.
- Olive Complexions: You may want to try a deep peachy-pink blush. Deep peachy pinks will highlight and bring out your natural 'flush'. You can also get a beautiful effect by mixing a little pink blush with bronzer - beautiful!
- Tawny (or Tanned) Complexions: You might try a golden pink or peachy blush. These compliment yellow undertones and look very natural.
- Dark Complexions: Think in shades of rich berry, deep purples, deep rose. Stay away from light or pale shades that will wash you out. The rich deep shades will look very natural and compliment your dark skin!

Blush Powder Colors Make Great Lip Colors, Too
If you prefer, you can also use any blush or some eye shadow shades as a lip color. For lips there are several ways to use your minerals:
- Dip your lip gloss wand in the blush or eye shadow powder pot and apply to your lips. Or apply the powder before or after your favorite lip protector (Clear Lip Butter, Chapstick, Burt's Bees, Carmex, etc) or apply with your favorite lipstick to create a fresh new shade.
- Make a little lip cream pot of your favorite blush or eye shadow shade by mixing the blush or eye shadow powder with the Clear Lip Butter in a 10 gram jar. Or combine shades to make a new, unique customized color.
Signature Minerals Blush Powder Ingredients

It softens fine lines and makes skin texture appear more even and lucid. Mica is a sheer mineral that can be opalescent and sparkling or completely matte. Color ranges from whitish to blue to green.
- Iron Oxides are natural opaque mineral pigments used to create the beautiful "earthy" tones in natural mineral makeup.
- Titanium Dioxide is a natural mineral with anti-inflammatory properties that helps reduce skin irritation and redness. It is highly reflective and minimizes fine lines and skin discolorations. Provides natural SPF against UVA and UVB rays.
