Having trouble dispensing your mineral foundation powder?Updated 4 hours ago

If you’ve noticed your brush isn’t picking up much product, the mesh sifter may be experiencing some buildup. This can happen when damp or unclean brushes are used, as moisture can cause the minerals to cling to the mesh and block the flow.

Here’s how to fix it:

  1. Grab a clean (lint-free) cloth and lightly spritz it with 70% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol (available at most chemists).
  2. Gently wipe the mesh to remove any product buildup. Let it dry completely before using again.

To avoid this in the future:

  • Always use a clean, dry brush when applying your foundation.
  • If you prefer using a slightly damp brush, just be sure to clean the mesh regularly with alcohol to keep it clear and working as intended.
  • Alternatively, you can remove the sifter and use your jar without it.
