SunCat Natural Mineral Makeup products are quick and easy to apply and can be
used on the face, eyes, lips and body. You only need to use a very small amount
to get a flawless finish. SunCat Mineral products have buildable coverage and
color. Apply one light application then let the all natural minerals and pigments
warm with the skin. If you would like more coverage or color apply additional light
applications to achieve the coverage and color intensity you prefer.
Application instructions will no longer be sent with orders to help save the
environment. You can find application instructions for the mineral makeup products
here on this page. The skin care, night treatment and beauty treatment pages will
have application instructions there.
______________________________________________________________
FACE PREPARATION
Use a moisturizer under your SunCat Mineral Makeup products. Apply your
moisturizer to a clean damp face and allow it to absorb into your skin before
applying your SunCat Minerals. SunMoist, SunDrench and SunQuench are
excellent all natural moisturizers and can be used under your SunCat Mineral
products. Mineral makeup can also be applied to a clean bare face see what works
best for you.
Exfoliation is a very important step in healthy skin and flawless mineral makeup
application. Exfoliation removes the dead skin layers and gives your face a smooth
finish that allows the minerals to warm with your skin. This is especially important
as we get older since our skin cells don't rejuvenate as quickly.
If you have dead skin cells on your face mineral products will just sit on your skin
giving your face a shiny appearance. Dead skin cells also don't allow moisturizer
and skin care products to be effective since they form a barrier on the skin.
Removing these dead skin cells allows your skin to breathe and allow your products
to perform as they were intended.
For gentle daily exfoliation and to keep good circulation in the skin use a 100%
cotton wash cloth, the inexpensive thin ones work the best. Use the cloths with
your facial cleanser or with water after you have cleansed your face. Use a
circular motion to help remove the dead skin cells. SunPolish is a wonderful natural
daily exfolating product. More intense exfoliation should be done 1-3 times a
week depending on your skin type. SunSmooth is a wonderful all natural exfoliant.
SunCat masks also provide exfoliation. These products can be found on the Skin
Care page.
______________________________________________________________
If you use a primer make sure it is a primer made for mineral makeup.
SunPrime and SunCorrect are formulated to be used under mineral makeup.
Primers were originally developed for liquid foundation to keep them from being
absorbed into the skin and are silicone based which forms a barrier on the skin.
This barrier does not allow mineral makeup to warm with the skin and should not be
used with mineral makeup.
______________________________________________________________
BRUSHES
Brushes are very important in the application and finish of mineral makeup.
Use quality brushes for the best results.
One of the best things you can do for your brushes is to wash them
regularly. Wash them when they are first purchased and wash them on a
regular basis. Wipe brushes on a clean dry towel after every use to help maintain
them between washes. Washing your brushes removes old makeup, dirt, bacteria,
oils and dead skin cells which build up on the brushes making them scratchy. This is
especially important if you have sensitive skin or are prone to breakouts. Keeping
your brushes clean will keep them soft, lush and bacteria free.
Dirty brushes will change the color of the products when applied to the skin.
Keeping your brushes clean keeps the true color of your products.
Wash your brushes at least once a week. For best results use your facial
cleanser or a liquid Castile soap. Avoid washing your brushes with shampoo which
can cause skin irritation. Wet the bristles before applying the cleanser and wash
under warm running water. Keep the bristles pointing down when washing your
brushes. Check your brush to make sure all the buildup has been removed. If
needed wash them again. Wash the lids or saucers that you use to apply your
minerals once a week when you wash your brushes. Facial oils, dead skin cells and
makeup build up on the lids so you want to keep them clean. Make sure the lids are
dry before putting them back on the jars. Wipe the jar lids with a clean tissue
between washes.
After your brushes have been washed, squeeze out the excess water with a paper
towel. Reshape the brush and lay it flat on its side on a paper towel or a clean
towel to dry. Let the brushes dry completely before using. You can also dry them
using a hair dryer on a low setting.
Keeping your brushes clean will provide you with years of flawless mineral makeup
application.

You can blend all of your SunCat Natural Mineral Makeup products with each other
since everything is formulated to work together. All the minerals can be used
anywhere on the face , eyes, lips and body and are safe for contact lens wearers.

spoon and place the minerals into the lid or a small saucer. You can also dip your
brush into each color and swirl the minerals together in the lid and apply as usual.

NATURAL BEAUTY TIPS
I follow an all natural beauty regime and have eliminated several chemicals from
my beauty and hair care routine. I have listed a few things that may help you do
the same.
As I mentioned exfoliation is an important step in keeping your skin healthy. As we
age our skin doesn't renew itself like it did when we were younger. By removing
the dead skin cells you reveal fresh healthy skin. Removing these dead skin cells
lets your face breathe and your products can be utilized by your skin instead of
just sitting on top.
When you have a buildup of dead skin cells your face feels rough, looks dull and
can be dry and flakey. Exfoliation can be done my mechanical or chemical means. I
have tried them both and prefer the all natural mechanical exfoliation. See the
Skin Care Page of the website for my all natural exfoliants and masks.
If you are noticing that your face and body is getting dry and you are seeing
white flakes on your face and body, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids
and you are getting enough Omega 3's in your diet. Omega 3's are essential for
the health of our body and our skin. Flax Seed Oil, Fish Oil and Extra Virgin Olive
Oil are all wonderful supplements. Many women especially those on diets cut fats
from their daily consumption which causes the skin to dry out. Eating the good fats
keeps our bodies functioning properly and our skin naturally moisturized.
Using natural products and eliminating harmful chemicals from our health and
beauty regime feels good and is good for us and our environment. I have listed a
few all natural products that you can use on your face and body and you probably
already have them in your kitchen.

 | Place a small amount of minerals into the lid or a small saucer. | |
| Swirl your brush into the minerals to get them deep inside the brush. Tap the | |
| brush on the edge of the lid or saucer until all the excess minerals are released from the brush. You do not want to use a fully loaded brush. | ||
| Using a circular or up and down motion buff the minerals into the skin. For | |
| foundation application start applying the minerals on the outside perimeter of your face working inwards towards your nose. Apply the foundation all over the face including around the eyes and over the eyelids. For all other minerals apply to the desired areas in the same manner. | ||
| Allow the all natural minerals to warm with your skin. If you would like more | |
| coverage or color apply additional light applications. | ||
| Return any left over minerals to the container for reuse. |
______________________________________________________________
MINERAL MAKEUP TIPS
 | When applying makeup avoid using overhead and incandescent lighting. | |
| Overhead lighting casts shadows on the face causing you to apply too much product. For the most natural look when applying makeup use a natural daylight lamp that shines on your face or sit in front of a window so the natural light shines onto your face. Avoid using incandescent light as it produces a yellow cast which produces a false color. Now you know why your face looks different when you go outside into natural daylight. | ||
| Conceal problem areas with a smaller brush. Use either your foundation or | |
| a concealer to go over your problem areas. | ||
| Use a concealer brush to apply your foundation around your nose and eye | |
| area where your larger brushes can't reach. | ||
| To apply concealer use a flat concealer brush and press the minerals into the | |
| skin then blend lightly. Apply the concealer after your foundation for best results. | ||
| Conceal and neutralize red areas of your face with the SunRise concealer. | |
| SunRise also makes a wonderful eyeshadow primer giving you that "rested look" to your eyes. | ||
| Conceal and neutralize dark areas of your face with the SunConceal | |
| concealer. SunConceal can also be used as an eyeshadow primer. | ||
| If you want more coverage from your foundation add a small amount of | |
| concealer in the lid with your foundation. | ||
| If you want sheerer coverage from your foundation add a small amount of | |
| finishing veil in the lid with your foundation. | ||
| Reduce the look of large pores by using a baby kabuki brush to apply your | |
| SunCat foundation. The kabuki style brushes have dense compact bristles, especially the baby kabuki, which buffs the minerals evenly into the skin. If you still notice your pores try using a concealer brush to blend the foundation into those areas. SunCat Primers and Finishing Veils will also help reduce the look of pores on the skin. | ||
| Contour your face use SunBronze or a darker SunShine foundation shade. | |
| Contouring will bring dimension to your face and keep your face from looking flat. To apply make the "fish face" by sucking in your cheeks and puckering your lips. Apply the contour shade in the hollows of your cheeks. You can also contour your jawline, chin, nose and forehead. | ||
| To apply blush smile and apply the color to the apples of your cheeks. | |
| For a uniform look to the face use your cheek color and sweep it over your | |
| eyes this brightens your face and eye area and gives your face a uniform look. | ||
| Reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles by using a lighter color on those | |
| areas. Using a lighter color brings the area forward making them less noticeable. | ||
| Bring dimension to your eyes by applying a lighter color on the lid, a darker | |
| color in the crease and a highlighting color on the brow bone. | ||
| Define your eyes and make them look more open. When you line the eyes | |
| you define them and make them look more open. Wet your liner brush before applying your mineral liner. Leave your eyes open when applying liner and use small short strokes instead on one long stroke. When you get to the outside corner of your upper lid don't follow your eye down instead bring the line out and up slightly. This will make your eyes look more open. | ||
| Highlight your face to give your face dimension. Colors to try are | |
| SunRadiance, SunPearl and SunBright. Highlight the outer perimeter of your face, the center of your forehead, the center of your nose and chin, your cheekbones and browbones, the inside corner of your eyes, and underneath your lower lashes. | ||
| Brighten up your eyes by applying SunRadiance, SunBright, SunPearl or | |
| SunSnow to the corners of your eyes and to the inside corners of your nose. | ||
| Finish your flawless look with a SunCat finishing veil. Using a finishing veil | |
| morphs the minerals into the skin giving your face a finished polished look and brings a soft focus air brushed look to the skin. Choose from many different SunCat Veils for the finish you prefer. |
Problem Resolution Tips
| Pores and lines are more noticeable after applying mineral foundation. | |
| Make sure your face is properly cleansed, exfoliated and lightly moisturized and your moisturizer has completely absorbed into the skin. Use a baby kabuki brush to apply your foundation then use a concealer brush on the areas you notice pores and wrinkles especially on the nose, chin, and around the eye area. Use less foundation. Try using a darker shade of foundation if the color you are using is too light pores and wrinkles will be more noticeable. | ||
| Face looks shiny after applying mineral makeup products. Make sure your | |
| face is properly exfoliated, applying minerals over dead skin cells gives you a shiny look and can also cause your face to look scaly. Use a baby kabuki brush to apply your foundation. Use a light moisturizer and make sure it has completely absorbed into the skin before applying the minerals. Use a finishing veil with a soft focus to help reduce shine. Use less foundation and blush. Buff the excess minerals from the face with a clean brush. Wipe your brush on a clean towel after applying foundation or other mineral products then lightly buff to remove any excess minerals from the face. | ||
| Under eye area looks dry after applying mineral concealer. Make sure | |
| your eye area is lightly moisturized and your moisturizer has absorbed into the skin before applying your mineral concealer. Use a flat concealer brush to apply concealer. Apply concealer after your mineral foundation. | ||
| Foundation looks thick or heavy after applying. Make sure your | |
| moisturizer has completely absorbed into the skin before applying your mineral foundation. Use less foundation. Use a baby kabuki brush to apply foundation. Use a lighter moisturizer. | ||
| Wipe your brushes on a clean towel daily after each use to keep them | |
| clean between weekly washes. This will help correct many mineral makeup application problems including the ones listed above. |

Skin Care Page of the website for my all natural exfoliants and masks.
If you are noticing that your face and body is getting dry and you are seeing
white flakes on your face and body, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids
and you are getting enough Omega 3's in your diet. Omega 3's are essential for
the health of our body and our skin. Flax Seed Oil, Fish Oil and Extra Virgin Olive
Oil are all wonderful supplements. Many women especially those on diets cut fats
from their daily consumption which causes the skin to dry out. Eating the good fats
keeps our bodies functioning properly and our skin naturally moisturized.
Using natural products and eliminating harmful chemicals from our health and
beauty regime feels good and is good for us and our environment. I have listed a
few all natural products that you can use on your face and body and you probably
already have them in your kitchen.
- Honey can be used on the face after cleansing and added to facial masks.
Honey has many benefits for the skin and is a natural humectant and also
contains natural antibacterial properties. If you have problem skin and are
prone to breakouts try applying honey directly to those areas. Leave the
honey on for a few minutes then rinse.
Green Tea is wonderful for the body and skin. Brew up some organic green
tea and place it into spray bottle diluted with water and keep refrigerated.
Mist your face then apply your natural moisturizer while the skin is still damp.
You can also mist your body then apply your body lotion while your skin is still
damp. If desired add some organic aloe vera gel to the mix. Drinking organic
green tea as many health benefits.
- Oatmeal can be used in facial masks, face scrubs and body scrubs. Oatmeal
can be used as an exfolaint and is very soothing. Use a coffee grinder or food
processor to grind it up to the consistency you like.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil can be used on your face and body as a moisturizer
and used in face masks and body scrubs. If you want a chemical free olive oil
make sure you use only Extra Virgin Olive Oil as the subsequent pressings of
olive oil have added chemicals to extract more oil from the olives. One
Tablespoon of EVOO taken internally daily will help moisturize the skin and
hair along with providing Omega 3's.
- Baking Soda can be used as a face and body exfoliant and to remove buildup
in your hair from hairspray and styling products. Add a small amount of baking
soda in the palm of your hand and add your facial, body or hair cleanser. You
can also make a paste by adding water and use it alone on your face and body.
Aloe Vera Gel can be used as a face, body and hair and is a wonderful all
natural moisturizer. The dietary supplement aloe vera gel contains 99.9%
pure aloe vera gel and does not contain water or other chemicals that are
found in the cosmetic aloe vera gel. This type of aloe vera gel needs to be
stored in the fridge. You can keep smaller amounts in small bottles for
everyday use and leave them at room temperature. Mix 50/50 with filtered
water and use as a facial, hair and body mist. You can also use the aloe vera
gel as is on the face and body as well as adding in a few drops of your favorite
oil. If you use the cosmetic aloe vera gel make sure you buy the clear gel.
