Benefits of Using a Setting Powder

A setting powder or a translucent powder is the cosmetic product that holds the rest of your makeup in place. It prevents the makeup from melting, smudging or flaking off. It also controls the sticky feeling after applying cream-based products like contour, bronzer, foundation, concealer and highlighter.
If you are one of those people whose skin tends to get excessively oily, especially on hot summer days, then a setting powder is your best bet. You can apply some powder on your face to absorb the excess oil and touch up your makeup.
A small step of applying translucent powder to your face will prevent your makeup from melting away or smudging the other layer of makeup hence, making it last longer.
If you press the translucent powder on your face gently with a makeup brush, it will prevent any creases on your face and give you a smooth, filter-like finish.
Pro Tip: If you apply your setting powder just after you are done with the base of your makeup then it will also help smooth everything out. Any visible signs of open pores or brush strokes will disappear after setting your base with a finishing powder.
Now that you know all the perks that a good makeup loose powder can offer you, let us unveil the correct way of using it so you can make the most of the loose powder price.

How to Use Translucent Powder the Right Way

Hold the brush vertically across the edge of the lid and tap it a couple of times or blow on it to remove the excess matte powder. Step 3: Application Here comes the final step. Press the powder into your T-zone and under the eyes. Now you can use small but firm circular motions to set the powder in place. Slowly move towards your hairline. By the time you are done, you should get a smooth finish. Pro Tip: You can use a clean brush to wipe off any excess powder that didn’t absorb into your skin. If you have dry skin, you can use a slightly damp makeup sponge to apply translucent powder for an extra touch of hydration.
