Powder skin match??

CLICK PICTURE UNDER THIS IF YOU CHOOSE YOU SKIN TYPE

For a polished cosmetic look with professional results, you need to apply a powder to set the foundation make-up. But, choosing the right color of powder will make or break your image, so be sure to select the right one. As with a liquid or matte finished foundation, you will want to choose a powder that is lighter than your skin, however, too light of a powder may give you an eerie glow in the dark appearance.

For fair skinned women selecting powder, a clear translucent shade is your best bet to avoid a chalky white finish, and that's also the shade that is easiest to find in stores and one of the cheapest to buy.

For medium toned skin, try a honey or beige colored powder to lightly accentuateyour make up. The seam around the hairline and jaw should be blended well as to not leave a trace of powder on the face. Unblended color tones will appear to be 

For darken skin tones, try a warm honey beige or sandalwood shade that leaves your face with a clear, fresh finish. Powdered bronzers are another option to add a healthy glow to your skin. Lightly swipe your face with a large and wide cosmetic brush to highlight your forehead, cheek bones and chin for an all over even glow. And a  powered bronzer makes a great substitute for loose powder, especially in the summer time for that fresh as a daisy look.

When choosing the color of your powder, also regard the texture of the powder, as pressed powder in a compact does not spread as thinly and evenly as loose powder. The compact type powder should be used for touch ups throughout the day, rather than your finishing touch on fresh make up.

Some of the best loose powder brands come from Coty and Revlon that give a generous portion for a moderate price. Most women use their loose powder only once a day, so a large container may last you for over a year. Just be sure to change your applicator sponge or puff regularly to reduce contamination with bacteria. You may also wash your applicators, but they are cheap and plentiful to buy in a package of five from most beauty supply outlets.

However, a compact powder container is not as durable as the loose powder. Because the product is compacted into a tight space, the application of the powder is a bit stiff and sticky. The compact works best for light pats where necessary over your upper lip and cheek bones. In addition, the compact powder applicator is subject to a day's worth of sweat and grime, so be sure to replace the puff at the first sign of soiling.

Why and how to use loose face powder.

While different people's looks often demand varied types of makeup, some cosmetic elements are classic and can be used by everyone regardless of their age, skin type or fashion. Whatever your style, loose face powder is a critical thing to have in your bag of makeup tricks.

SETTING YOUR MAKEUP

For people who wear foundation, loose powder can be used to set the foundation, making it last longer. In addition to adding longevity, the powder adds a nice matte finish to the face.If you have normal or dry skin, apply a light dusting of loose face powder as soon as you have put on your foundation. Use a large, fluffy powder brush with natural bristles to lightly spread a thin layer of the powder. Brush away any visible deposits of excess powder. If you have oily skin and wear foundation, try applying a very light dusting of loose powder on your clean face before you apply your foundation. Then, apply foundation and top with another layer of powder. Using the powder in this way will help absorb extra oil and keep your makeup looking fresh throughout the day. Even women with normal skin may find this technique helpful during hot and humid weather. Use your brush to lightly blend your powder down onto your neck and shoulders if you are wearing a strapless top; this keeps your skin tone looking consistent and makes your exposed skin all more polished in appearance.

POWDER??

Powder is an effective beauty aid to make the skin look even, soft and attractive.
Powder is the last item of your face make-up. It is available in two forms-cake and powder.
While choosing a powder, keep in mind your complexion and choose a shade that goes with it. If the complexion of your facial skin and the shade of powder differ, the skin will look blotchy.
Do not use cake powder on oily skin, because it contains an oil-base. While using powder, be sure your locks of hair are not dangling on your face.
Apply powder with a clean, cotton puff and discard the used one.
Powder should be dabbed on the face slowly, dexterously with a steady hand, applying light pressure, so that it settles down in the pores. Dust off extra powder with a powder brush or a cotton wool pad.
If the powder is not well-set, the face looks blotchy. Powder gets stuck on eyebrows and eye-lashes, if not cleaned with an eyebrow brush. Brush extra powder off with an anti-clockwise movement, from the end of the eyebrow upwards.
