How to Apply Finishing Powder for Day Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Kelli. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you tips to a basic daytime makeup look. We're now going to set her makeup look with a finishing powder. This is just a translucent loose finishing powder. It's really nice and lightweight. It's very finely milled. We're going to use our large powder brush for this. I'm just going to sweep this over the face. It'll set the foundation. It'll minimize the appearance of any pores, soak up any oily shine throughout the day, give a nice pretty air brushed finish. You can see it blends the blush in a little better with the make up. This is a nice tool you can use if you tend to be a little heavy handed on your cheek color and you need to tone it down a little bit. You can just buff a little bit of translucent finishing powder over it and it really tones it down nicely. A finishing powder is really, really finely milled, so it doesn't really matter how much you use. However much you're comfortable with using. If you're a little bit on the oilier side, you can put a little bit more on the T-zone area, which is the forehead, nose, and chin. It gives you a little bit of extra oil absorption. You really just want to keep buffing it on until you're happy with the finish that you get and everything looks smooth, everything looks set."
