We've all be there. We've applied our makeup, foundation concealer etc... Youre flawless then apply powder with a brush and - then redness is back.

In this video I show you two ways of applying loose powder.

The first method is using a brush and pat and gently rolling back and forth on the skin. This method works well.

The second method and the best one by far is using a powder puff and pressing and rolling the puff loaded with powder on the skin. This locks in the foundation etc.... And makes your makeup bullet proof.

You then take a powder brush and knock off the excess powder that is on the skin.

Then you're free to apply powder blush and highlighter etc...

But won't it make me caky? No. If anything it will give your skin a look of being polished and flawless. I cannot imagine doing a wedding or someone's makeup for an event and not using this method.

The only time to avoid this method is if you have very very dry skin.

I hope you found this video helpful.

Thank you for your time.

Wayne

  • hmm... i basically do press my powder on with a brush, but not the way he does it. what i do is i load up the brush, tap excess off, then press the tips of the bristles onto wherever any liquid/cream product is, rather than how he press the entire length of the bristles on the skin. am i doing it right?

  • yay! i have been doing it right! i never had anyone show me how to do makeup when i was growing up so i would sit for hours in my bathroom with a magazine page for my look and practice over and over till i got it as close as the picture as possible :P i guess it all paid off lol
