How to Apply Loose or Translucent Powders?

If you are new to these makeup products, let’s give you a brief girls on how can you easily apply setting powders. 

Apply your foundation and makeup products like concealers etc. Then once the foundation is blended well, take a fluffy powder brush and gently swipe it over the translucent powder or loose powder.

Then lightly dust this powder over the face like cheeks, forehead, nose etc. This will minimize the fine lines further and also fills up the facial skin pores. Thereby, the skin looks perfect and better than before.

Try to focus more on the areas where you have used the concealer like the under eye area. Dabbing lightly over the concealer will set the concealer for  along lasting look and a crease free finish.

After  couple of hours when the sebum and oils are back then too the powder can be gently swiped over the face.
