Is powder needed with foundation?

If you apply foundation under the rest of your make-up every day, then powder is not necessarily needed.

Face powders are mainly used to reduce extremely oily areas of the skin and to help look less ‘shiny’.

Different types of powder

Powder should be applied with a brush or a puff to the T-zone area first (the area across your forehead and nose), before being blended with other areas of your face.

Once the powder is on, cover it with the rest of your make-up, including blusher.

There are two types of powders: loose and pressed.

Applying face powder

When it comes to powdering your face – you have 2 options. You can use powder puffs or brushes.
