I just got your message tonight! I'm here to the rescue!! (Although I'm sure you'll get lots of friendly tips besides just mine!)

Here's how I use Warmth (because it is a very tricky mineral!)

First, I use the i.d. BareMinerals Retractable Brush. It's much like the Flawless Application Brush (which is included in your kit), except it comes in a nifty silver tube perfect for your cosmetic bag or handbag.

When I open the jar of Warmth, I dip my brush inside just a teensy bit, and then tap the excess minerals off into the jar lid. Then, leaving just the smallest amount on my brush, I blow! The BRUSH!! Once I've softly blown the excess minerals off of my brush, I'm ready to apply! I swirl it softly onto the apples of my cheeks for a sunny glow, and then quickly dust it across the bridge of my nose. That part is the most tricky- just a skoche too much, and my nose is glowing- not alá St. Barts, but rather alá Rudolph.

I also like to use Warmth as a contour below my cheekbones. You can apply Warmth a little more liberally in that case, but it's still best to use just a speckle. That's all I ever use!

My favorite combo is Warmth partnered up with Clear Radiance! Clear Radiance is a Multi-Tasking Mineral that appears as a baby pink shimmer in the jar, but once applied looks dewy & incandescent. Your skin just glistens! I sweep that across the apples of my cheeks, the bridge of my nose & eyelids, sometimes dipping my finger into mix it with my lipbalm. It really softens the look of Warmth, and I find it's much more user friendly, as well as more friendly to all skin tones.

Whew! I hope I helped! I provided links for the Retractable Brush & Clear Radiance.
