Pro Tips for a Flawless Finish
Follow the tips to get a flawless finish.
Tip 1: Prep Your Skin
Your skin should be clean and prepped before setting powder application. Dry and flaking skin can make the powder settle disturbingly. Regular exfoliation will even out the surface so that makeup goes on beautifully.
Tip 2: Lock in Your Base
After applying your foundation and concealer, use a damp sponge to lightly press a layer of loose-setting powder onto your face. Focus on areas prone to creasing, like under the eyes and smile lines.
Tip 3: Bake Like a Pro
For a budge-proof finish, load the under-eyes, jawline, and forehead with powder. Leave for 3-5 minutes, and with a fluffy brush, lightly dust off any excess.
Tip 4: Mattify your T-zone
For oily skin, a light dusting of pressed powder over the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) will prevent shine throughout the day.
Tip 5: Set your lips
For long-lasting lips, after applying lipstick, dust the lips lightly with translucent powder using a brush or sponge and add one last layer of color. This trick adheres to the lip color and keeps it fresh for hours. Also, make sure that you are exfoliating your lip, as lip care has many benefits.
Tip 6: Prime Your Eyelids
Dust a light layer of powder across your eyelids before applying eyeshadow to prevent creasing and to help the eyeshadow stick. It also helps in the smooth blending of your eyeshadow.
