Foiling loose powder eye makeup brings out the bold rich tones seen in the eye shadow container. In mineral makeup eye shadows, foiling enriches each color for a more dramatic effect as well as extending longevity. Mineral powder eye liners are always applied using the foil method.
Foiling, in makeup artist terms, simply means to blend a cosmetic mixing medium or water with the makeup powder for a paste consistency then apply with makeup applicator or brush to designated areas.
Steps to prepare mineral loose powder eye shadow into paste are as follows:
1. Find a small clean cosmetic container for mixing the loose powder product. The sifter jars lids that most mineral makeup brands use are perfect for foiling.
2. Tap a small amount of loose mineral powder or other eye shadow powder into the mixing tray or lid.
3. Add a small pin head size drop of mixing medium or water into the mixing container with the loose powder.
4. With a firm makeup applicator or brush, stir mixing medium and mineral eye shadow powder together until a firm paste is formed. If an excessive amount of mixing medium was used, the formulation will appear more liquid, than paste. In this case add additional amounts of loose powder until desired consistency is achieved.
The 4 easy to follow steps above are all that is needed for a perfect foil eye shadow formula.
To apply the foiled eye shadow paste, a chisel or angled chisel makeup brush is perfect. Do not use a dense natural hair large or deluxe eye shadow brush as either utilizes too much paste for proper application.
Steps to apply mineral eye shadow formulation are as follows:
1. Gently swirl then tap lower side edges of eye shadow brush into colored paste formula.
2. Remove any excess paste from the eye makeup brush by sliding brush side on mixing container edge.
3. Using your eye shadow brush apply makeup paste mixture to designated eye lid area, using a soft tapping smoothing motion stroke as you would with normal pressed eye shadows.
4. The eye shadow paste will dry instantly once applied.
5. The final step of the foil mineral eye shadow application method involves using a small or large natural hair eye shadow brush to lightly blend colors on eye lid.
