How to Make Omiana’s Loose Powder Foundations Work for You

Is Loose Powder Foundation Right for You?
Before diving into Omiana’s loose powder foundation range, it's important to determine if this type of foundation suits your skin type. If you’ve chosen Omiana's loose powders because they are free from mica, titanium dioxide, and boron nitride—plus other ingredients we avoid like bismuth, talc, gluten, and nanos—you’re already on the right path. But making sure these products work for you is essential.
Hydrate Your Skin for the Best Results
Hydration is key when using loose powder foundations, especially with Omiana’s clean formulations. Loose powders are ideal for skin that isn’t overly dry. To achieve the best results, ensure that you're drinking plenty of water and nourishing your skin with organic oils like krill or coconut oil. Remember, healthy skin starts from within!
Hydrating before bed and in the morning is beneficial, but it’s also important to let your skin breathe. Overusing moisturizers can confuse your skin’s natural ability to produce sebum, so keep it balanced. Once your skin is properly hydrated, you’re ready to enjoy the subtle to medium, buildable coverage of Omiana's loose powder foundations.
Preparing for Buildable Coverage
Omiana’s loose powders provide buildable, medium coverage—without titanium dioxide, which is often used for heavier coverage. Instead, Omiana uses non-nanoparticle zinc oxide, allowing you to build your desired look. If your skin is dry but you still want the benefits of our pure ingredient formulations, consider blending the powder with a dollop of organic lotion or light oil to create a creamy, nourishing foundation.
Steps to Perfect Loose Powder Foundation Application
1. Get Matched
Start by testing the shades you're considering on your jawline, close to your neck, to ensure the best color match. Always assess the match in natural sunlight to get the most accurate results.
2. Tap, Tap
Tap a small amount of the powder into the lid of the container. With Omiana’s concentrated formulas, a little goes a long way. It's easier to add more powder gradually than to try to return excess to the pot.
3. Choose the Right Brush
The right brush makes all the difference. Select a cruelty-free kabuki, foundation, or blending brush to apply the powder. Press the brush gently into the minerals and tap off any excess before applying.
4. Apply in Circles
Using light, circular motions, apply the powder, building up coverage as desired. For areas that need extra attention—like around the nose or over blemishes—use a concealer brush to focus the powder precisely.
Concealing and Setting
5. Conceal as Needed
While many recommend concealing before applying foundation, you can also conceal after applying Omiana’s loose powders. If you prefer to conceal first, go ahead—it’s all about what works best for you.
6. Mattify for a Flawless Finish
If your skin tends to get oily, consider using a mineral veil or setting powder on top of your loose mineral foundation. Even for dry or normal skin, this is a great way to achieve a smooth, flawless finish.
Finishing Touches for a Complete Look
7. Add a Pop of Color
Complete your look with a swirl of Omiana’s blush on the apples of your cheeks, and use bronzer to enhance your cheekbones and contour your face. Apply your eye products before these steps for the best results.
8. Admire Your Natural Beauty
Once your makeup is complete, step back and admire your radiant, natural beauty. While reapplication may not be necessary, especially in cooler climates, it’s always good to keep your Omiana foundation handy for touch-ups in hot or humid environments.
