Using cream/liquid makeup with powder makeup ?

I was wondering, if i were to use bare minerals foundation or any other powder, but also wanted to use a liquid highlighter, would I be able to do that ? If so, how ? I'm just imagining everything being made into a paste.Using cream/liquid makeup with powder makeup ?
Well, it might not turn into a paste, but it would most likely become very glopped together, or could give your foundation a ';pilled'; look.








As for liquid and powder cosmetics used together, the solution would be to use the liquid highlighter first.





In the area in which you want to apply the highlighter, apply it to your skin prior to foundation. Allow it a few minutes to really set and dry on the skin, and then lightly go over those areas with your foundation to help blend the highlighter into your skin. On the areas where you have not applied highlighter, apply the foundation as you would regularly, and on the areas with your highlighter, simply use a lighter hand.





If this doesn't work, then all you can really do is switch to a powder highlighter and use that.





Although, once you apply your foundation to bare skin, you CAN try patting the highlighter on with your finger or with a stippling brush, and see if that works.Using cream/liquid makeup with powder makeup ?
No. Don't apply liquid over powder because this will turn your face into an icky mess. (Liquid first, powder sets it.)





Instead, try a powder highlighter.
I always use liquid for extra coverage on problem spots and powder to ';cement'; the look.
