That's what I am currently using- for powder foundation. I've been using homemade powder for well over a month and LOVE IT! My skin breaks out less (like 1 bad day a month as opposed to 1 bad week a month) and I've noticed I can go without makeup more often now. I mix a tiny amount of this clay powder with cocoa powder and amaranth starch- the powder keeps me from becoming oily on my t-zone and puts a green tint in the color of the powder foundation, which is good for my sometimes red/ruddy complexion. Clay powder can be used for cleaning or masks, but it can also be used in foundation- just not too much since it's green! That's what I am currently using- for powder foundation.

Clay powder, in my experience, isn't meant for foundation/make up purposes--rather, to cleanse the face of the make up and other dirt/impurities. You can use cocoa powder with it to create a cleansing mask, but I'm very certain it's not to be meant to create make up. If you have oily skin, you can use this with an online recipe for facial masks to help with that as it soaks up excess oils, but it's not meant for all day wear.

yes, you can, use the same amount of cocoa as you would in any recipe, also it makes great hot chocolate!

This specific brush I think is best for liquid and cream foundations and blushes. For a mineral powder I would suggest a fuller/larger brush, but I do recommend this product line.

Indeed you can...I mix the cocoa wit a bit of sugar, so that the cocoa doesn't clump and add warm milk also it doesn't clump then mix in cold milk..really delicious as I like dark chocolate best.

I haven't used them with mineral powder myself (I prefer liquid foundation) but these are nearly identical to the Beauty Blender, and I've seen tons of MUAs on YouTube using the BB to apply mineral foundations. EnKoreMakeup's How To: Beauty Blender video covers how to do it very well.

This product can be used for anything you would use cocoa powder for. It is more like Hershey's cocoa and not like hot cocoa mix. It is not an instant mix, and it is unsweetened.

I don't really know about kaolin, but I use bentonite clay for making facial masks and love it!

Apply it OVER the mineral makeup and blend it well. The effect will not be good if you place makeup over it.

Yes I would, I use a maguires spray shine with my clay- find it works the best.

You use these damp too set your make-up.....they would not work for applying mineral powder

Absolutely! You won't find a better moisturizer for under makeup (except perhaps for jojoba oil, which is the most like human skin oils). I wear only natural powders in small amounts but my friends who wear more foundation tell me they like to apply the moisturizer right out of the shower and then wait 5-10 minutes before applying makeup to be sure the oil soaks in. I've had no issues whatsoever with my bare minerals and I swear I look younger!

It works well with other foundations for me. Sometimes I use a liquid foundation lightly and then buff with Bare Escentuals.

I went on jane Iredale site, bought mineral foundation, love it, it is lite and creamy, not heavy, use color bb3 which is light, but there is a BB1 you may wish to consider! The site shows sample of colosr

No instructions. I personally searched pinterest and found a "template" with 6 different "looks" that I printed and placed inside the lid. And yes, I use it with my bare mineral powder foundation. Works wonderfully!

I've used this as a finishing powder combined with cocoa powder in equal amounts. I love it because it covers the spots on my face. I'm pretty sure that it also provides sun protection. The only thing that I'm worried about using this as a "foundation" powder, is that I read somewhere that you're not supposed to inhale this product. I mean, I know I'd be breathing a very small amount, but still... it's something I need to investigate further.You could also try adding a little cornstarch or arrowroot powder to this mix. Oh, and if you could run the powders through a coffee grinder it'd be better. That way the ingredients would be mixed equally and it would create a more fine powder. I hope this helps.

Yes you can. But I think if you add too much it will make the clay to dry and it will make it crumble.

Absolutely! The glaze works as well as it did during the first use. Be sure to place the clay pot in an UNHEATED oven, however, to prevent shock from a pre-heated oven which will crack the pot.
