About Face...Powder


After you apply your makeup, using face powder will help keep it set in place for the entire day or night. Basically, there are two types of powder: pressed and loose. Here is some information about face powder for you to consider.

Loose powder is great for oily skin because it will absorb extra oils in your skin that can discolor your makeup. Pressed powder is neater and easier to work with than loose powder, and it comes in a compact which makes it great for taking with you in your purse or bag.

It is worth investing in a good powder. Finely milled powder, although more expensive, will not settle into any fine lines on your face. It creates a very silky finish, too.

You can apply powder with an actual powder puff, large makeup brush or even your fingers. Using the fingers to work around the eye area is the best way to put the powder on precisely and neatly to this area of your face.

If you have not tried setting your makeup with face powder, you really should experiment with it to see what a flawless and smooth finish it can provide for you. Try using the puff or the brush to see which application method works best for you.
