Applying Powder

How to apply makeup powder? - Applying a finishing touch

Step 1 - Apply a loose powder after you have completed the application of your foundation and concealer, and before applying eye makeup.

Step 2 - Take a large fluffy brush or a powder puff and dip it into the powder. Tap the tool lightly over the container to remove any excess.

Step 3 - Dust your face with powder. Stroke your face gently to cover all areas evenly.

Step 4 - Powder puffs come in a myriad of sizes, shapes and colors, but the most important thing to consider is the nap of the puff. A medium nap is the best to apply powder.

Step 5 - Using a brush - A brush allows you to apply a lighter amount of powder than a puff. Large and fluffy, powder brushes can be used with both loose and pressed powder formulations.

Step 6 - Wipe the brush on a tissue, and then use it to remove excess powder from your face.
