2. Usage Tips

Don’t be too anxious when applying loose powder. Make sure the foundation has stayed on your face for a few minutes and is relatively fixed before applying loose powder. Otherwise, the loose powder will not have the desired effect.

Loose powder must be light, but many girls want the peach-like pink effect like celebrities. Here I will teach you a private trick. Take a piece of paper towel. Generally, paper towels have two to three layers. Take one layer and cover the area where you want to apply loose powder. Take the powder brush and brush it on your face through the paper towel. Then remove the paper towel and shake off the excess loose powder on the paper towel. Repeat this process until you are satisfied. By filtering with a tissue, you can filter out large particles in the loose powder to make the base makeup light, and at the same time allow enough small particles to adhere to the face, making girls as cute as peaches.

Loose powder doesn't just mean applied on the face. You should also apply a layer of loose powder around the eyes to prevent the eye shadow powder from falling. You should also apply loose powder on your neck, behind your ears and other areas to keep your skin tone coordinated.

Women with many facial wrinkles should not use too much loose powder, because the powder may settle and make the wrinkles more prominent.

The best tool for applying loose powder is a powder puff, not a brush. Press the powder puff gently on your face, then roll it left and right, and repeat this action to make the powder last longer.
