Loose powder is an ultimate product for neat, lasting and professional makeup. Usually it is used as a final step in the makeup routine on top of foundation. Loose powder absorbs extra grease and makes foundation look neat and fresh on the face. There are three main types of loose powder: translucent, colored and loose powder with reflective particles.
How to apply loose powder: tutorial
- To avoid picking too much loose powder on your brush or puff, shake some powder into a container. You can use the top as a container.
- Dip your brush, puff or beauty blender into powder but don’t pick too much of product. Make sure to dip only the top part of brush.
- Remove excess product from the brush/puff by tapping the brush against the lid.
- Buff the powder into the skin by circular movements. Start with the T-zone, then move to forehead and cheeks.
