Powder foundations are ideal for mornings when you’ve snoozed the alarm one too many times and have no time to prep for your video meetings that require cameras on. Powder foundations can transform you from looking like you just got out of bed to being ready for work in under a minute.
The best thing? They blur out pores and leave your skin looking naturally matte so you don’t look like you have light beaming from your forehead during meetings. They’re also great for quick touch-ups.
Powder foundations can be a blessing for those with combination, oily, or textured skin. Powder foundations can be a nightmare for dry skin. If this happens, you can either apply a thicker moisturizer (and let it set) before applying powder foundation or spray a light layer of hydrating setting spray.
To achieve the desired coverage, use a brush to stipple or buff the foundation. You can get more coverage by using the accompanying (or any other) makeup sponge to stamp the product.
Remember: Powder foundation is best applied in a smaller amount. Too much can make the foundation look heavy and chalky. Start with a small amount and work your way up.
These four steps can help you avoid cakey makeup.
1. As a base, use a hydrating primer.
2. Conceal troubled spots with liquid or cream formula
3. Powder foundation: Buff it in.
4. Set everything in place with a setting spray.
