Using Loose Makeup Powder to Conceal Blemishes

Video Transcript

"Hi! I am Yvette Parrish, thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to cover those pesky little acne marks, freckles or any blemishes you want to cover with the use of concealer or foundation. So I grab a little bit of the talc powder, the lightest powder. I am going to grab a little bit of loose powder in a fluffy brush. Now remember, the larger the area that we are working on the larger the brush that we are going to use. So since we are going to be applying loose powder on her whole face then I want a full brush. This is a real hairbrush, it is sable, so you can wash it and take care of it, and it will last for years. Take a little bit of a loose powder, and I put it in the palm of my hand, and I am going to dip the brush. Now loose powder is very messy and loose powder is somewhat dangerous, I say because it does get everywhere…, right. So there is a way when you apply it, if you just dip it you will notice powders everywhere, okay. Take your brush and kind of pound it in an area something hard… here I will do it on this tables so that you can see. Take your brush and pound it in, and what happens you can see that line of powder, the powder is actually going deep inside the bristles and there. So when it is time to use your brush, when you move it around like that, you are not going to get any powder anywhere, but when you want to apply it, as you can see odds of little puffs of powder then it comes out. We are going over the whole face, the whole area. You would want to pound some more in there, and I am going down and I am going over the eye area that we put that powder on. I use my hands a lot, so you can choose to do that, or you can put the loose powders somewhere, but I did it this way, and if you notice I am going over the eyebrows, the eyes, the lips everything because this is my palette, my painting and I want my painting to start out all one color. So we have to fix any flaws, fix any blemishes get everything smooth and beautiful, and that is what I am doing. I use all that loose power. "
