Powder Selection

If your skin is not dark you can go with a translucent shade, which will not affect the look of foundation or concealer. A colored formulation gives added coverage. Be sure to stick with a yellow-based powder (no pink tones) for the most natural look. Be sure that the color matches the foundation as well as possible.

There are three types of powder, pressed, wet-to-dry, or loose. All types are great for covering with loose being the lightest and wet-to-dry being the heaviest.

Powder Application

To apply loose powder, hold the large powder puff over the powder container, so that there is no chance of spillage when tipped, and then tip it upside down. Shake off excess powder and then lightly press the powder puff to your skin. Then take a large sized makeup brush and brush off the excess.

To apply pressed powder, press the powder puff to the powder and then rub the powder puff against the side of the compact to dust off excess powder. The lightly press the puff to your skin, being sure to brush off the excess with a brush or clean fingers.
