Powder Tips

Powder can help you get an all-day flawless finish
A light, even dusting of loose powder sets your foundation and concealer giving your face a velvety, more natural finish.
It provides smooth blending for any eye makeup or blush you add.
Dip a puff or powder brush into your loose powder.
Shake off excess to avoid uneven distribution, then apply powder over entire face and neck.
To maintain a flawless finish throughout the day, apply pressed powder using a sponge or clean powder brush.
Face powder can be used alone, over foundation or over your moisturizer for a natural, sheer, no-shine look.
For the closest color match, choose a powder shade that is 3 shades lighter than your foundation.
If you are over the age of 30, avoid powdering under the eyes as it can make fine lines and wrinkles appear more obvious.
Facial oil-blotting sheets help to remove excess oil and shine without disturbing your makeup. Carry them with you everywhere you go!
How to Apply Concealer

- Concealer is more dense than foundation, allowing fuller coverage for your trouble spots and red areas (hyper-pigmentation).
- Concealer can be used over foundation or on its own, and has greater staying power because a little goes a long way!
- The skin under your eyes is more transparent so it tends to look dark, especially at the inner corner near the bridge of the nose. If you wish to even out the tone, put concealer here.
- With your liquid concealer, pat under your eye gently (do not sweep it across the entire area), then blend with your ring finger.
- If you wish to cover other trouble spots and imperfections, apply a thicker cream concealer onto the blemish or flaw. Then lightly press with a makeup sponge.
