Stop Messing Around

As much as we like the sheer coverage of mineral makeup, we really hate how messy it can be. But CoverGirl TruBlend Microminerals Blush ($11; drugstores) offers a neat solution: First, pop off the brush. Shake the powder so that just a little comes up through the sifter. Dip the brush into the powder, tap off any excess, and then lightly sweep over cheeks. When you're done, put it all back together—and toss the spillproof container in your bag.
