If the world of Compact Powders confuses you, here are som tips:
With a Compact Powder we want to get a silky soft and natural look.
It´s important to find a shade that is the exact same colour as your own skin tone.
- Start with a primer
- If your skin is dry use your usual moisturiser before applying primer
- Use a Compact Powder that matches the tone of your jawline
- Avoid too dark or too light colours or it will not look natural
- If you want to add colour use Bronzing Bowder or Blush
- Use a Powder Brush too apply if you want a light and natural finish
Good Luck!
