Basics - No.5: Powder

In order for your make-up to last all day long you need to fix it. Now here is where powder kicks in. Before I start, I need to make a a clear point on something: NEVER put creams on powders, always put powders on creams in order to fix them and make them stand put.

Now...powder...again..lots of decisions and picks. Powders can be compact, translucent, mineral or pressed. For a very light and easy look use products that are loose. Put a bit into the cap, give the brush a swirl and then apply it. For a heavier and more coverage use pressed and compact. If you use this method, press the brush on the product, move it just a little (if you swirl it in the powder, it's going to absorb a lot of product and cake on your face, make it appear a lot older and not so fresh). You can also use a powder buff, but I don't recommend using the brushes or the sponges that come with the product.


Hope this has helpful!Have a nice evening.

Kissu.
