How to Apply Loose Makeup Powder

Video Transcript

" Thank for joining me at expertvillage.com. Hi I'm Yvette Parish, and this is my beautiful model Tam Welton today, and what we are going to be doing is doing a dramatic make over on Tam. The loose powder and 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 real hair brush it's sable, so you can wash it and take care of it and it would last for years. I took a little bit of the loose powder and I put it the palm of my hand, and I'm going to dip the brush. Now loose powder is very messy, and loose powder is somewhat dangerous—like say because it does get everywhere, right? So there is a way, when you apply it, if you just dip it, you'll notice powder is everywhere, okay. Take your brush and kind of pound it in a area, something hard, here I'll do it on this table so you can see. Take your brush and pound it in, and what happens is you can see that line of powder the powder is actually going deep inside the bristles in there. So when it is time to use your brush, when you move it around like that, you are not going to get powder any where. But when you want to apply it ,you can see all the puffs of powder, then it comes out. I'm going over the whole face, the whole area. I want to pound some more in there, and I'm going... and if you notice, I'm going over the eyebrows, over the eyes, the lips, everything; because this is my palette, my painting, and I want my painting to start off all one color. So we have to fix any flaws, fix any blemishes, get everything smooth and beautiful, and that is what I'm doing."
