But i wondered if i should be dabbing powder on my skin as ive seen women with glowy shiny skin that look like they dont even use powder and they still look great!
Im olive skinned, have dry skin but my forehead and nose always gets too shiny/greasy looking!
Whats the best way to achieve the glowy look, do i still have to use a little powder?
Thanks for your help on this!
xxDo you have to wear face powder after applying foundation?
The powder helps ';set'; your foundation and helps your blush, eye shadow and liner stay on longer. If you are trying to achieve a ';glowy'; look, use a powder that is labeled as ';translucent'; instead of one that calls itself ';full coverage';. Full coverage type powder is heavier and will give you a matte (non-shiny) finish. Also, it will help to use a powder brush instead of a pressed powder pad...this too will help and in being more translucent on your skin, giving you a glowy look...hope this helps.....Do you have to wear face powder after applying foundation?
You don't need to use powder over your foundation especially with dry skin. You may want to try blotting tissues for the oily areas instead. Blotting tissues are not the same as Kleenex and don't disturb your makeup. Also, you don't want to cover the eye light reflector with anything, it won't work as well.
I don't wear pressed powder %26amp; my skin is more dewy as I also wear this moisturizer called Miracle Lotion which is great for dry skin %26amp; is made of natural ingredients %26amp; contains 7 natural oils %26amp; 14 herbs, it gives a really nice glow(please see link below).
powder sets your make-up %26amp; if it's a good quality one %26amp; used sparingley, it'll prevent greasiness %26amp; gives a nice matt finish.
If you have dry skin you might not need it.
The best thing to do is try with %26amp; without powder each for a week %26amp; see which you look better (also ask others what they think!).
PS%26gt; if you do want to wear it, make sure you get a good quality one.
No, do what ever looks best in your opinion. Mabelline Pure Make up is very good, and looks natural.
use an oil free foundation
yes
To get the glowy look, I simply wash my face first, apply a light touch of moisturizer, dab on a small amount of foundation, and then go on with the eyeshadow/blush/lipstick. Too much foundation, and the effect if certainly not natural, and with Spring here, less is even better.
DON'T!!!!!!!
right i tried that once and I thought that that was what you were ment to do. I ended up with this disgusting thick paste over my face!!! It will clog your pores!! Use one or the other.
To be honest I woul;d recommend neither.
I use 'Nivea Visage young; be beautiful tinted moisturiser' it looks like foundation ( b coz it is tinted) but it feels like a moisturiser. Your skin will look gorgeous and radiant AND TANNED!!! It blends in with your natural skin tone and it wont make your skin oily. BUt cleanse properly before u use it!! xxx
Hi,
You know, I don't think you necessarily need to use powder. Powder dries out foundation - that's its purpose :-)
Jemma Kidd does this great power that creates a glowly, dewy appearance:

I think Benefit do a similar one too!
For the problem areas like the nose, if you do not wish for it to be greasy/shiny, just apply powder to that area and the chin. You can also buy some 'blotting' papers from Boots, that have some powder lightly dusted on them and absorb the oil from your face without having to cake the powder on. They are great, I use them myself!
For 'light reflective' skin, I'd really recommend this product:

On a few occassions I've stayed up ALL night, then applied this in the morning and been told that my skin looks amazing and glowy! So it must work!
You could also use a transluscent powder and apply with a brush instead of a sponge. You can still use pressed powder - you don't have to use loose. I find that this sets my foundation but still looks really natural.
Another thing to consider is using a tinted moisturiser instead of a heavy foundation - Nivea do a great one! You don't need to use a powder with this.
Generally just refrain from putting too much makeup on your skin. You only need to use foundation on a few problem areas, you don't need to put in over your entire face like a mask.
Hope this helps!

leave the highliter as a powder and try a more dewy slightly glittery foundation. dap a glittery powder over the shiny bits and if u r greasy put a little amount on the greay parts
Well the face is a tricky thing, different everytime. Best thing to do, I would think (from own experiences) is to get a good clenser for greasy skin for the mornings and a night clenser. This should help balence your skin. Ask at your local makeup counter for advice on this and shop around !
Exfoliate the skin useing a gentle product, and make sure you always rinse off all soap with cold water, as it will cause spots oddly...
then do the makeup...you will only need a tiny amount of powder, thats a shade lighter than the foundation, and just tab it on with a big powder puff !! just dab on the nose and forhead, and blush the cheeks. Play around with different styles to find the best amounts, but dont over do it.
The trick is in prep, get the skin under control, the rest is easy !
don't know. I use different stuffs and combinations for different effects. I use powder only when i wish to look pale. foundation when i wish to cover red spots (or to protect the skin from cold weather) and an illuminating foundation to shine like a star. my skin is olive to, and the mixed type o skin (dry and oily) so we should use the same tricks ;)
Try using powder where your skin gets shiny and use a powder brush and loose powder. To get a glowy look use maybelline dream mousse blush instead of powder blusher.
Don't use powder it takes the sheen away from your foundation ,just use your concealer and foundation .x
