A loose translucent powder is one of the most important products to use.
It can be used alone or over any foundation or tinged moisturizer. I also, suggest applying on eyelids over eye primer (if using).
WHY:
- It acts as a piece of silk to glide bronzer, blush, contour powder and eye shadow for easier blending.
- It sets foundation/tinted moisturizers for longer lasting wear
- Conceals pores
- Sets lipstick for lasting wear and creates a “matte” look
- Sets brow color and softens look
HOW TO:
Face:
- Best way to apply is with a soft powder puff or large powder brush. How much – a quarter size in the palm of your hand. Roll puff or brush to pick up powder. Starting at center of face apply working out to edges.
- After Makeup: Lightly apply powder with large brush to blend any seams or streaks that blush or bronzer may have left.
Brows:
- Apply brow color. Take a spoolie brush dip into powder, dust over brows. This will defuse the color for a softer look and set brow makeup.
Lips:
- Apply lipstick, blot with tissue or blotting paper, lightly apply powder using a small powder brush, apply second coat of lipstick
