MINERAL MAKEUP APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
- Step 1 - Cleanse/Moisturize
- Step 2 - Conceal
- Step 3 - Foundation
- Step 4 - Blush
- Step 5 – Brows
- Step 6 – Eyes
- Step 7 - Mascara
- Step 8 - Lips
Step 1 - Cleanse & Moisturize
Cleanse and moisturize your face
... or use ROCIA Mineral Spritz before applying mineral makeup (minerals need something to adhere to)
Step 2 - Conceal
With ROCIA pure mineral foundation you don't need a separate concealer! Using a "fluff" brush (eye shadow brush) dip into foundation and tap...tap...tap away any excess powder. With a "painting" motion apply foundation to areas where extra coverage is needed such as blemishes, under-eye circles, age spots, etc.
Step 3 - Foundation
Using a Kabuki brush (dense, flat-top brush) dip into foundation. Using lid as blending dish, tap away any excess powder and slightly pounce brush onto lid. Gently spread foundation onto skin in a circular buffing motion starting on the outside of face near cheek bone
Tips:
- Less is best! To achieve a natural flawless look, apply 2-3 very light layers of powder rather than 1 heavy layer
Step 4 - Blush
Following the Bulls Eye Technique, dip brush into mineral pigment, tap…tap…tap away any excess minerals and apply in a circular motion to cheek area. Blend well
Tips:
- ROCIA minerals are pure pigment. Remember, less is best! Apply 1-2 very light layers of blush powder so the colour looks as if it’s naturally coming from the inside out
- For a “Victoria Beckham” look apply a medium blush shade (L’Amore for cools or Afterglow for warms) under cheekbone and a lighter shade (Sweet 16) over the darker shade and on the ball of the cheek

ROCIA Bulls Eye Technique
Starting from the “bulls eye” sweep colour out and back towards ear. Blend well
(to locate bulls eye: place straight edge along the outside of the iris of eye and under nose—where the 2 points meet is your bulls eye)
Step 5 – Brows
Following the ROCIA Brow Technique, dip angled brush into brow pigment, tap…tap…tap… away any excess minerals and apply with little strokes filling in sparse brows for a natural look
Tips:
- Make brows ½ to 1 shade darker than they are naturally
- Keep brows as symmetrical as possible and follow their natural shape but remember, they don’t have to be perfect … eyebrows are sisters – not twins!

ROCIA Brow Technique
Brow(starting point) … place straight-edge from corner of nostril along the inside of your eye
Arch … place straight-edge along outside of iris of eye
Brow (ending point) … place straight-edge from corner of nostril along outside of eye
Step 6 – Eyes
Using fluff brush, apply eyeshadow colour in a sweeping motion.
Wash shades
… apply to lid
… and to brow bone as highlighter on browbone
Crease shades
… apply thin line to crease area in a “windshield wiper motion”. This will make eyelid look larger and browbone stronger
Liner
… apply to lash line either dry (softer finish) or wet (bold finish).
Tips:
- Wet-liner application – use container lid as blending dish, mix small amount of liner colour with water and apply … allow to dry
- Don’t close line at the outer corner of eye as this will make eye appear smaller
- Create matching nail colour by simply dipping nail polish wand from clear nail polish into any ROCIA pigment and applying to nails
Step 7 - Mascara
To separate & lengthen lashes, we recommend 2-3 applications allowing mascara to dry between coats
Step 8 - Lips
To drench your lips in long lasting colour, apply either ROCIA Lipgloss or Lipsilk and wait 10-15 minutes before eating or drinking. This allows the organic butters and oils to soak into lips leaving colour pigment behind
Tips:
- For a professional result apply Lipsilk with a lip brush (lipstick lasts much longer)
- Create any lipcolour by simply dipping ROCIA Sheer Lipgloss into any ROCIA pigment
