Mineral Glow can be applied to the entire face or just on areas where you normally get sun like across your cheeks, forehead, and across the bridge of the nose. It can also be used as blush, eye shadow, or to contour features. Mineral Light can be applied over the entire face for a candlelit glow. It is also great as a highlighter for the cheekbones, brow bones, or the bow of your lip. You probably will only want to use one or the other over your entire face and can use both on specific areas. The powders will layer without ever looking cakey.
