This magic can only happen if you know about the correct application of Setting Powder to get an ideal appearance.
By following the instructions in this step-by-step guide will help you appropriately apply and use setting powder.
What Is Setting Powder?
Setting powder is a type of mineral-based facial makeup product that is used to keep liquid makeup materials, such as foundation, in their proper place. It is typically made from silica and talc. Setting powder helps to reduce the feel of oil on the face and gives a more matte finish. Additionally, it makes it easy for makeup to remain in place for a long time.
There are two different types of setting powder available in the market: loose powder and pressed powder. Sometimes, this powdered makeup is made to look translucent or coloured to suit a wide range of skin tones.
Why You Need Setting Powder?
When you apply foundation and concealer, you can set your finished look with setting powder to minimize shine, hide blemishes, and complete your makeup routine:
1-Create a Finished Look: One of the main use of setting powder is to prevent makeup from fading and make it last all day. It gives an appearance of a smooth surface. Remember, Setting powder feels very similar to setting spray. When you apply makeup, especially if you have dry skin, misting your face with a setting spray will help give it a dewy appearance.
2-Control Shine and Oil: Setting powder has ingredients to minimize oil and regulate shine on the face. Talc, which is found in some setting powders, these powder is best for those who have oily skin.
3-Achieve a Soft and Smooth Appearance: Your face and whole makeup look smoother after using a good setting powder. Yes, because it has the ability to lessen the texture of pores, fine wrinkles, and blemishes. Silica, which is found in many setting powders, helps give a finish with a soft-focus appearance.
Setting Powder Application: How to Use It
You can use a soft sponge or fluffy makeup brush to apply setting powder to your face.
Step 1 – Prepare your Face to get fine Results: You must wash your face and then apply moisturizer to your skin to help it retain moisture. First, use foundation and make sure that it blends out evenly, and then use concealer to touch up any blemishes.
Step 2 – Pour the quantity you want: Some of us definitely love to use a loose-setting powder. You should transfer some of the powder onto the top of the setting powder container. If you have a big powder brush, swirl it around in the powder that’s in the lid of the container, and then tap the brush to take out any extra powder. If you are a pressed powder lover, rub your powder brush applicator onto the kit and then tap to remove any excess powder to get better results.
Step 3 – Application: Now it’s time to apply the powder to your face with the help of a soft powder brush and just go in a circular motion. Start this on the part of your face that corresponds to your T-zone and keep it outwards. Continue doing the same at your T-zone, the spots under your eyes, and around your cheekbones. If you feel that you need to apply extra powder to any of those areas, just do it. We often apply setting powder with a beauty blender by tapping and rolling the sponge on the face to press the powder into the skin. Keep in mind to avoid rubbing; otherwise, you will smudge makeup on your skin.
Which type of Setting Powder is better for Mature Skin: Pressed or Loose?
When we talk about finding a Powder for Mature Skin, it completely depends on what look you want to achieve and what type of skin you have. As we get age, our skin becomes dry. So we need a little help to improve our radiance. The loose-setting powders have blurring properties, but a pressed-setting powder gives off an airy, radiant glow that lasts all day long and keeps your makeup stays intact for as long as possible. Lastly, if you have old skin and are worried about it, you should consider a pressed silky texture setting powder for extra glow!
