with very dry skin might use powder only to set under-eye concealer.


Tools


The right tools will supply the perfect amount of powder. Using a powder puff will give powder a smooth, opaque finish. A powder brush will allow a sheer finish.
A clean powder brush is also used to remove excess powder after an application with a powder puff. A small concealer brush can be used to apply powder to the
corners of the face—under and around the eyes and around the mouth and nose.


Tip


Oily skin can turn powder yellow or orange with time. Sometimes you have to choose a lighter color. To avoid powder buildup on oily skin, use an oil-blotting
paper before touching up.

2 Apply powder with either a brush or a fluffy powder puff.
