A mineral is a naturally occurring solid chemical substance that is formed through geological processes and that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties. By comparison, a rock is an aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids and does not have a specific chemical composition. Minerals range in composition from pure elements and simple salts to very complex silicates with thousands of known forms. The study of minerals is called mineralogy.

What type of brush is best to use for applying mineral foundation / finishing powder?
Q. Not really looking for a specific type of brand, just wanna know the exact brush type. I usually apply mineral foundation after my concealer. I also sometimes use mineral finishing powder to set the foundation. I've been using a bronzer brush for my mineral foundation and finishing powder, but I'm open to all other suggestions. Thanks!

A. a flat top brush or a kabuki works best for mineral foundation. for finishing powder, a floppy brush or a powder brush works best. kabuki or flat top is too dense for the finishing powder :)

A. There is not enough of a difference between bottled mineral water and what comes from your taps to make any difference to cooking - so perfectly safe. Rather unnecessarily extravagant I would say.
