It is true that cosmetics can do a lot for your features, besides concealing your facial flaws. By applying face powder, you can transform your looks. Here are a few tips:
Since there is a difference between daylight and night time illumination, you will need to adjust the amount of makeup you wear. During the day, wear light makeup and at night, be bold and dramatic.
How it is Done:
You have the best makeup your money can buy. You spend so much time each morning doing up your face, but you never get the right results. What should you do to look good?
To apply face powder effectively, you need to use powder puffs and brushes. Here’s how:
Puffs: As you perhaps know, powder puffs are available in a selection of sizes, shapes and colours, and most importantly textures too. The best of them all is perhaps the medium-textured puff made of chenille.
Directions to use: Use this if you have an oily complexion that shines often or when you use a powder foundation. Remember not to apply too much powder all at once. It is more advisable to blot your face of oil mid-day rather than have a caked, overdone look.
Brushes: Use a brush to apply a light amount of powder—this is better than a puff. Being large and fluffy, powder brushes give you the option of being used either loose or pressed.
Directions to use: Dip the brush in the powder and tap it to get rid of any loose powder. Then, using even strokes, brush the powder over your face in a downward direction. Follow the direction of your facial hair so that you get the most even application.
It is essential to apply powder on your face as it sets your makeup, and creates a finish that’s free of a shine. When at home, use loose powder and carry a pressed powder compact for a mid-afternoon touch-up.
Benefits of applying face powder
For a fresh look with face powder, apply moisturizer and over that a concealer to conceal any discoloration. Now, apply a neutral eye shadow and a light coat of mascara. Blend in a neutral blush on your cheeks, highlighting them, but not overly so.
This done, apply a light coat of loose powder. And top it up with lip gloss. With loose powder, you can be sure that none of it will enter your pores as easily as the heavier pressed powder. Besides, it covers more evenly and has a professional look about it. It can be used day and night and all you have to do is to apply loose powder as often as you like during the day without it looking caked on.
Now that you’ve done this, isn’t there a complete transformation in your looks? If this gives you confidence, try out some more styles and mix and match for that perfect look.
