When it comes to powder, a common cosmetic product, we might think we know it all. However, there are distinct ways to use both loose and compact powders.
For powder foundation, you “dust” it onto a cream-coated face, while compact powder is gently rubbed into the skin. Any excess is removed with a sponge.
To avoid dark streaks on your face, start with a light powder and then apply a darker shade. In the evening, it’s best to stick with lighter tones.
Blush should give your skin a beautiful, natural glow, not the appearance of a sickly flush. Cream blushes are ideal for normal to dry skin, while powder blushes work best for oily skin. Before applying cream blush, you should moisturize your face with a rich cream, then place a few “dots” of blush and blend them out gently to avoid visible edges.
Powder blush is applied after the face has been powdered. It’s important to use more powder on the cheeks. Then, using a cotton pad, carefully apply the blush to the face, ensuring there are no visible transitions to unblushed skin. You can also substitute blush with a darker powder.
Depending on the shape of your face, the application of blush varies. For an oval face, apply from the cheekbones to the eyes; for a round face, from the temples to the jawline; for a triangular face, from the cheekbones to the temples and slightly downward; and for a square face, just under the eyes, slightly downward and toward the cheekbones.
As for lipstick, before applying color to your lips, you should coat them with a thin layer of cream. After that, wipe it off, lightly powder your lips, and only then apply the lipstick. Before reapplying lipstick, make sure to remove any remnants of the previous application.
Start outlining your lips based on the desired shape. For this, use a special lip pencil that matches the shade of your lipstick.
