Applying Powder to Makeup

Video Transcript

"And now we're going to set Sherry's make up with some powder. Powder is extremely important, so I hope all of you are using powder on a consistent basis. So, what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to start out with using powder where we used the concealer. So, I'm going to use the sponge for this, and I'm just going to press it right in to the skin. The reason why I'm pressing is because in areas that you put concealer, you definitely need to set it with powder because you don't want it to move through out the day, but if you swipe it, if you kind of move it like that, it's most likely going to move the concealer, and you want that to set exactly where it was just placed. So, you notice I'm applying some pressure to Sherry's face too, which is totally fine, and actually, the more you press down, the more that make up is going to stay in place. So, feel free to just press away. You can also use this powder with a sponge in any areas that you would get oily; so in your T-zone, on your forehead, your nose and your chin, or anywhere else that you've applied concealer, so on a blemish, so on and so forth. Everywhere else, I'm just going to use a powder brush, and I'm just going to dust it all over her skin, just to give her a really sheer finish of powder. But like I said, powder is really important, and I strongly encourage you to use it every time that you use a foundation, concealer, or even just by itself, because it's going to give you that really finished and polished look, and it's going to keep your make up on all day.
