Not quite sure what you’re supposed to do with the Glimpse Mineral Treatment brushes? Does the word “application” leave you scratching your head? Not to worry … you’re not alone. Even better, answers are headed your way. We’ll tell you what each brush is used for, what the best application method is for each and we’ll even explain, once and for all, what a Kabuki brush is! Look for a special informative 4-part article, coming soon to the Glimpse Blog.

1-) Kabuki Brush: This brush is most traditionally used when applying mineral powders and recommended when wanting a light-to-medium coverage.  The soft, yet dense, bristles and tapered brush head are ideal for picking up powders easily and create a lovely, flawless finish. We suggest using this brush for your dry application of Glimpse Mineral Treatment or as a setting powder brush.

Directions:

• Sprinkle a small amount of Mineral Treatment into the lid of your Glimpse Minerals jar.
• Take your Glimpse Kabuki Brush and pick up the powder with the brush.
• Tap off excess powder from the brush and apply to face in circular motion.
• Apply more powder for desired coverage.

*Use the same way as directed above for a setting powder, using less of the minerals, and just lightly dusting.

This is Part One: The Kabuki Brush of the Master the Brushes series.

First, let’s talk Glimpse usage. I cannot emphasize enough, how crucial it is to be using the proper amount of product in order to get the optimal benefits of Glimpse. For instance, if you are not using enough cleanser and getting a thorough cleanse, your skin will not be adequately prepared for whatever you put on thereafter (in fact you could be driving dirt, debris, and oil further into the skin).

Second, lets talk about good skin care habits. What is a good habit? A good habit is taking the time, everyday, to take care of your skin. It is truly so important to get into good skin care habits. For those of you new to skincare or those who are short on time, a 4 Step process may seem a bit overwhelming? I have a little tip that will help you simplify your routine. We like to call this the “Glimpse Cocktail”…

Glimpse Cocktail:

A.M./P.M.

• Step #1: Cleanse with cleanser of choice (Creamy or Gel), making sure to use enough product to thoroughly cleanse your skin (about a quarter sized amount). Rinse thoroughly. We always recommend a double cleanse.
• Step #2: In the palm of your hand, mix together, 2 pumps Serum, 4 pumps Lotion or Cream, 2 pumps Toner, and I like to do 2-3 drops Pericarp Oil. Apply to desired area, taking extra care to apply to your neck, and chest (or wherever you have exposed skin).

Simple, quick, and you still get all the same Topical Skin Nutrition and benefits.

So, whether you prefer the cocktail, the traditional application, or your own personalized Glimpse regimen, remember to do it everyday and make it a habit.

Until next time… Keep Glimpsing!
