Powder

Powder:
Face Powders are an essential step in your makeup routine.Powder does 2 things to your make-up.Firstly it sets your makeup perfectly, giving a smooth even finish to your complexion.Secondly, it helps to prevent the appearance of shine on the areas most prone to oiliness-the central panel.They are available in either compact or loose form. It is important to set your foundation with a loose powder.This helps to keep your foundation in place.Compact powders should be used for touch ups.

Since most women, regardless of complexion, have yellow-based skin, we strongly recommend that they wear foundations with a yellow base. When they do, they will look flawless and natural-looking.

Which Powder To Use?
Fine loose translucent powders are the best, as the pressed powders tend to cake and streak.Translucent Powders are light in texture providing a sheer, natural finish.However if you have an extra oily skin, it is advisable to wear a matte translucent powder. which is sheer and contain loads of oil natural absorbers.

If you use a translucent powder over your foundation or concealer, it will set your makeup without adding too much extra color.Complexion powders on the other hand, have a greater degree of color and because they are more opaque, can be used alone.They can also be used with your foundation to set, adjust or enhance.
