Q. How Should (Facial) Powder Be Applied?
A.
Powder application is a personal thing and it also depends on what you
are trying to accomplish. Play around with both a brush and a puff to
see what works best for you. Here are some guidelines to help you get
started.
Loose Powder

1. A fluffy brush that can be dipped into loose powder, tapped to
remove the excess and then dusted over your face. It will give a light
dusting and will also help to set your makeup.

2. Some makeup artists prefer to use a powder puff that has been
saturated with powder. The puff is then rolled gently over the skin
applying a soft layer. This will also set your makeup, but with a
slightly heavier coating of powder giving your skin a more velvety
texture.

Powder Compact

Some women prefer the pressed powder that is conveniently packaged in
a compact along with a puff.

They are very convenient for touch-ups when you are away from home.
**Note

*Concentrate on the t-zone when applying powder. Powder too close to
the eye area can accentuate fine lines.

*Be sure to wash these puffs often as they will pick up oil from your
skin.

*Brushes should also be washed on a regular basis. A tiny amount of
shampoo and warm water should do the job. Allow to dry with bristles
positioned over the edge of a sink. Do not stand upright.
