Is there a versatile loose powder in your makeup routine? It would be worth it.
The sometimes forgotten classic loose powder is actually a handy product that should be kept close at hand in your make-up bag. With its help, many kinds of make-up challenges are solved.
Here are three gimmicks where loose powder is a perfect help.
1. Foundation that lasts
For a long-lasting make-up base, you need a make-up primer and finishing spray to help your make-up, BB or CC cream. Classic loose powder also helps. The finishing spray is therefore a multipurpose product that you can also use it under makeup to set makeup. Use both a make-up primer and a loose powder at least on the easily greasy T-zone, where the make-up usually dries first.
2. Forget clumped lashes
If your mascara tends to clump, use a finely divided loose powder to help with that as well. Coat your lashes with it before applying mascara.
3. Hide the lines around the eyes
If the lines around the eyes tend to accumulate products in the wrinkles, there is no reason to forget the eye cream that smooths and softens the texture of the skin around the eyes under the makeup. Concealers and color correcting products applied to the area stay better when you let them rest for a while before you fade them into place. Here too, a touch of loose powder helps make-up stay in place and look beautiful for longer.
