Powder is a product for that fixes the make-up, without weighing it down, and makes it long lasting: an ideal product to counteract the shine of the skin, preserving the beauty of the base, minimizing small imperfections and pores. In fact, it is very useful for those with combination or oily skin as it helps to control skin oiliness, while maintaining the opacity of the make-up unchanged. Although it is quite simple to use since, unlike other products, it is applied all over the face and not only on certain areas, you need to be careful not to make some mistakes that would lead to an unnatural result. Do you know what they are?
1. Apply the product on a fresh base
If you have just applied face cream and foundation, be careful not to apply the powder immediately with the brush as you risk leaving marks with the bristles. In fact, the ideal would be to wait a few minutes before applying the product to the skin, taking it a little at a time and sprinkling the powder evenly over the entire face for a super light effect.
2. Not managing the quantity
If you apply too much product believing you are maximizing the smoothing and mattifying effect, you instead risk obtaining excessive coverage that will not only leave residues on your face, but will make you look like ghosts.
3. Overdo with contrasts
Especially if you use the powder in combination with the earth to create the contouring effect, be careful not to overdo it. Often, in fact, we let the brush slip out of hand and exaggerate with the contrasts, especially with the powders applied under the eye contour creating a real white mask.
4. Not removing the excess product
To avoid "weighing down" the effect, even before applying the powder on the face, the advice is to beat the excess product from the brush and then make small light touches.
5. Choose the wrong product
To get a natural effect, use powders with thin and silky textures, which keep shine at bay where it is needed, without weighing the skin too much. You are ready? nss G-Club has selected for you the 10 best powders to try immediately.
