aren't you supposed to use foundation and shoe whitener?? thats what i've always heard of but idk

You can use those too. A girl in my class uses that too. Either one works. I personally like translucent powder better because it doesn't have to dry. Especially if you put in on the ribbons, it takes a while to dry. :)
