Beauty Bomb: Powder 101
So powder comes in three forms: pressed, loose, and foundation. Which one do you use?
Pressed : Easy to carry around as it comes in a compact. If you like the idea of using a powder puff to apply your powder, be sure to toss the puff every 3-4 weeks to avoid bacteria from breeding in your compact which can cause unnecessary breakouts. I prefer to use a powder brush when I use a pressed powder because it helps control the amount and application. If you use a brush, lightly dust the brush over the compact and tap off the excess. In a fast-paced motion (so you distribute the powder evenly and don’t get too much on one spot) dust the powder over your face in a circular or side-to-side motion. With a powder puff, swipe it gently on the compact and again in a fast-paced motion apply it in a circular manner all over the face (or just on your oilier spots to blot down shine).
