How to Use Face Powder...?

Face powder is a makeup product that many women use to set their foundation. It also makes their makeup stay for longer time. It is an excellent product and is really handy when you need quick touchups later in the day.

Here are tips on how to use face powder:

You can apply face powder with a powder puff or a brush. Never apply powder to your face with the hands.

Simply put the powder applicator into the powder container, remove any extra powder by tapping the applicator and then apply it to your face and neck.

Powder should be applied in the end, if you are using concealer or foundation.

You should always apply powder to your face in even strokes. You should apply it in a downward direction.

You should use a loose powder for a natural look.

The face powder you choose should compliment your skin tone. Make sure you choose the right tone of pressed powder.

Face Powder Types:

All powders are the same, right? When it comes to face powder, not so! There are two different face powder types to choose from.

These types are as follows:

Pressed powder. This is face powder that is pressed into a compact, and is applied with a puff. The main benefit of pressed powder is that it’s a lot more convenient as compacts can easily fit into a handbag. It is also easier to apply in a rush, making it a good bet for during the day touch-ups.
Loose powder. This is loose powder that is applied with a big brush. Loose powder is lighter in weight, and is a good option for oilier skins as it absorbs moisture.

Face Powder Application

Face powder application depends on the type of powder that you are using.

Pressed face powder is applied as follows:

Using the puff that comes with the powder, apply a small amount of powder onto the puff.

Starting from the forehead, apply the powder in smooth, downward strokes.

Apply to the cheeks, chin, nose and neck in the same way, making sure that all areas have been well blended.

Loose face powder is applied in the following way:

Tip a large, soft brush into the powder, and tap the excess powder off into the container.

Apply small dabs of powder onto the skin just before the foundation has dried.

Brush downwards, with the hair direction, starting with your forehead.

Apply the powder to your cheeks, chin, nose and then neck area using the same downward brush stroke.

The best face powder tip is to follow the general rule of thumb: the dryer your skin, the less powder you use. That means use less if your skin is on the dry side and more if your skin is oilier.
