Applying Finishing Powder for Metallic Makeup

Video Transcript

"I'm Kelli. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you some tips and techniques that you can use to create a silver and gold holiday look. Now that we've applied our foundation and our blush, we're going to set everything with a really finely milled translucent finishing powder. We're going to take our large powder brush. We're just going to dust this all over her face. This is going to set everything. It's going to blend everything nicely together. It will minimize pore size. It also will help to soak up any oily shine, so we can ensure that her makeup will stay on and stay looking fresh throughout the day. Also too, if you maybe got a little heavy handed with your blush, you can use a little bit of your finishing powder to kind of soften the look of that. You can insure that when you're doing this, if you're using a really finely milled powder, you can put as much on as you want and it won't look heavy or cakey. I also prefer translucent because it won't interfere with the color at all. That's how you will want to set your foundation with a finishing powder."
