Some people forget it from time to time, others completely skip it...some choose it with a bit of color to apply it solo, while others prefer it loose or compact.
What are the differences between powders, why use a powder, which one to choose...? These are all questions you ask yourself. So here are all the good reasons to use only one, the powder from MAQPRO.
It matches with the complexion...
But why adopt a translucent loose powder after your foundation if not to hide it? Don't be mistaken, loose powder plays a major role in makeup as it unifies and mattifies the complexion, but it is also essential before applying a powder blush.
It should be airy, illuminating, high definition, and match all skin tones.
Indeed, as a reminder, the construction of a beautiful makeup depends on the basic rule that a dry pigmented body is only applied to a dry body. Thus, in order, we choose the version
1: foundation - translucent powder - blush
or
2: foundation - cream blush - translucent powder.
Invisible like a second skin... The powder sets the foundation and allows the application of pigmented eyeshadows.
Its lightness is not optional, prefer the 4K texture, the smallest cinematic particle.
Should you choose loose powder or compact powder?
Which one to choose? Your choice should not be based on your preference but rather on the expected result.
Professional makeup artists prefer loose powder applied with a puff to set the makeup, but it is also known to absorb excess oil from combination to oily skin. On the other hand, compact powder is ideal for touch-ups during the day.
How to apply powder?
A few years ago, we used to apply powder with a big brush, leaving excess powder all over the sink and an unnatural, overly made-up look on our faces.
No, here's how to do it:
Take a cotton puff, sprinkle a little powder in the palm of your hand using the sieve, then press the puff onto the powder with small circular motions to pick up the product.
Apply the puff onto the face, lightly pressing it onto the skin all over the face.
As you age, your hand will naturally become lighter, particularly under the eyes where lines can become more pronounced. Remove any excess powder gently with a large brush, sweeping from the inside to the outside of the face.
Apply a small amount of powder, even if the skin is shiny, to avoid the "cakey" effect and also because Maqpro's 4K powder has great fixing power.
Keep in mind that your powder box should last for months.
Regularly wash your puff to prevent the proliferation of bacteria and keep your skin healthy.
Here's a final beauty tip: opt for the glowy or wet look. It's the current trend, and here's how to achieve it:
Apply your MAQPRO powder on the central part of the face, starting from the base of the nose, then moving down to the chin and up to the forehead. The rest of the face, especially the cheekbones, should have a naturally wet effect, creating a light-reflecting effect.
