Method
Add phase A into a cup and mix the ingredients with a spoon. Add phase B to a mortar. Add 1 Tbsp of phase A to the mortar and blend well with the pestle to crush and blend the pigments. Stir for at least a few minutes then check the color. The color may be too dark and you have to add another Tbsp or less of Phase A. Blend again well with the pestle and check the shade. Proceed as before if shade is still too dark. When the shade is right test color on white paper to see if uniform, then add fragrance and blend again. Fill the mineral makeup into a buca-1 powder jar with sifter and apply with a kabuki brush.

Properties
Loose mineral makeup with a pre-made blend of iron oxide pigments. Adheres very well to the skin and gives a flawless natural look and velvet skin feel due to Mica Spheres.
