When applying makeup, it is shocking to add powder before foundation to your face. Beauty experts say this is not wrong but in fact, the best way to apply makeup. The powder is usually the final “setting” step to seal foundation and concealer, but skin experts suggest that using it before the foundation can keep your makeup for long giving your face a better finish.
Follow these steps for the powder before the foundation makeup beauty technique:
1. Prep the skin
Start prepping the skin with a bit of moisturiser. If you have dry skin, it is best to exfoliate, and then moisturise.
2. Apply primer
Use any primer that works best for you.
3. Powder the skin
Here is where there is a switch. This tip literally helps the skin hold foundation longer and helps fill in some fine lines and pores all the while helping the skin look ‘like your skin but better’.
4. Next is the application of foundation
Now it is time to go in with whatever your desired foundation is. Apply foundation whether it is a cream, liquid, tinted moisturizer, or mineral-based foundation to the skin with your hands, a brush, a beauty blender, or a silicone makeup sponge.
5. Apply powder again
Skip this step if you have dry skin. Anyone with combination or oily skin can take a second to go over the skin with a swift light dusting of powder on the areas that you tend to get shine throughout the day.
This means there would be no need for touch-ups at mid-day and your shiny t-zone days are also gone.
