Things You'll Need:
- Mirror
- Disposable replacement puffs
-
Step 1
Apply foundation as usual, and then use a small, cotton powder puff dipped in loose powder to set it for all-day coverage. Make sure to use a short, dabbing motion for a light dusting effect. Shake out the remaining product and use empty puff to even out powder.
-
Step 2
Use a cotton powder puff to set concealer and hide blemishes and scars. Apply concealer and then dust a small amount of powder over the top. Dab lightly at the area to make sure excess powder is removed.
-
Step 3
Remove excess oil from the t-zone area (the nose, chin and forehead) using a specially formulated powder. Touch up oily spots throughout the day with a thin cotton powder puff. Powder absorbs oil much better than liquid foundation. If you use the puff that comes with your makeup compact, make sure to replace it after a month or so. Take your compact with you when you shop for replacement puffs, and make sure they fit inside.
-
Step 4
Buy disposable puffs for travel and everyday use. You'll find them in packs of three or more. Store them in a clean, plastic bag so the new ones are fresh and free of hair, dust and loose powder.
-
Step 5
Take a hot shower and towel dry. Use a large, cotton powder puff to apply talcum powder. Look for a talcum powder from your favorite perfume designer, or go for a light scent if you tend to have a sensitive nose.
-
Step 6
Dip a powder puff in shimmering body powder and dust lightly all over. If you're feeling adventurous, you can highlight you cleavage by dusting shimmering powder underneath a low-cut blouse.
-
Step 7
Apply powder on the go with a puff on a stick. Powder is stored inside the handle and is released when you apply pressure. Make sure to keep it in a clean, dry area in your purse or overnight bag. Look for stick puffs filled with shimmering powder for day into night use, or foundation powder for daily touch-ups. Be sure to bring along a compact mirror.
