After applying my liquid foundation, I let it dry for a minute, then apply a pressed powder foundation. I then sweep on top of that a loose powder. Is it okay to finish with two powders, or is that going to look too cakey? What's the difference between a finish with a pressed vs loose powder? Any nelp would be great!Am I using too much powder when applying my makeup?
do u feel like it looks cakey? does ur powder settle into ur lines? if not, then ure probably doing ok.Am I using too much powder when applying my makeup?
Ok, so here's what you do...
(do this before any other part of your makeup)
1) use liquid foundation as normal.
2) take a natural mineral powder that matches your skin tone (maybe even slightly lighter) and put on greasy parts of your face.
3) take a facial buffing brush and buff in a circular motion all over your face for thirty seconds. this evens out your skin tone, makes it look more natural, and prevents the powder from wearing off quickly.
4) use second powder as desired.
I have found that with pressed powder, it is easier to control the amount of powder you put on your face. But that's just me. Maybe something different will work for you. Remember, your skin is completely unique.
PS- Beware of over-applying powder! This will leave your skin stiff, feeling dirty, and dehydrated. Better to under-apply powder than over-apply. If your face is really oily, then invest in some oil-absorbing facial sheets. They work wonders!
No, I do that too.
Just make sure you don't put on too much liquid foundation or pressed powder. That's the stuff that makes you look really cakey. After you have the powder on your brush, shake it or tap it or flick it to get most of the powder off. That's the amount you should put on your face. You should really only ';dip'; your brush in your powder 2-4 times. In your T-zone areas each time, spreading it out in circular motions.
Same goes for the loose powder.
You should probably be only using one form of powder. Loose is generally used to finish and set the makeup at home, and pressed was formulated to carry in your purse for touch ups.
Skip using the pressed powder in the morning, and just use the loose powder.
I do the same thing, or well I used to. Just try not getting a makeup too dark for your skin. I used lotion, then foundation, concealer around my eyes, loose face powder and a tiny bit of brozer on my cheecks instead of a stupid blush.
You should only be using one.
With a pressed powder, it will go on with a bit more coverage and a bit heavier than with a loose powder.
I use liquid foundation and then loose because when its pressed its more for a one layer make up
You should be able to tell if it looks cakey.

Whats a good makeup powder that will cover the whole face and doesnt have glitter and is NOT a foundation?
Why not a foundation? Most mineral powders are pretty sheer. You can try Everyday Minerals start-to-finish and sheer face powders. (Their foundations are also good and you get free samples off their webpage look under custom kits).Whats a good makeup powder that will cover the whole face and doesnt have glitter and is NOT a foundation?
Bare Minerals because its very light and fells like theres nothing on your skin. Its kinda expensive though. It really works well though.
L' OREAL True Match is also well. Its not nearly as expensive and you can get it almost everywhere. It can be very light or very heavy. When its on light, it will cover most blemishes but its light enough to see freckles. If its heavy, it will cover almost everything. You should also use L'OREAL True Match Blush. Thats also very nice. Whats a good makeup powder that will cover the whole face and doesnt have glitter and is NOT a foundation?
Mac make up has a line that is designed to be worn for T.V. (if you wear glitter under studio lights, it glows). You may have to buy it on line, go to the retail and get the artist to select your skin tones in the STUDIO FIX, and then use that to select your colors on line.
bare minerals, sheer and healthy and doesn't clog up your pores and mask your face with a greasy fake-tan film...
invest in bare minerals, its so wonderful you can SLEEP in the powder :D
Mary Kay mineral powder? That is what I use anyhow.
Almay!

Question about powder makeup?
I have normal-dry skin. If put moisturizer on, can I wear powder makeup? Or will it look flaky? What brands of powder makeup are the best (preferably drugstore brands)? Should I use mineral makeup?
I've been using tinted moisturizer as a foundation, and decided recently I need more coverage. Liquid makeup just doesn't appeal to me, neither does mousse or cream.
Thanks so much!Question about powder makeup?
Hello, being a professional makeup artist I can tell you, if you find the right mineral makeup dry and flaky shouldn't be an issue. I would suggest making sure you cleanse, exfoliate your face (you can mix table sugar- a natural form of glycolic acid in your palm with your cleanser) and apply a natural/organic moisturizer. Natural and organic brands use real oils that are good for your skin. The biggest lie the cosmetic industry has ever brainwashed consumers into beliving is that oil is bad for your skin. By misleading you into believing real plant oils are bad for your skin they can substitute with petrol/gasoline oils such as mineral oil or synthetic chemicals that are oil free such as triglycerides. By doing this your skin's acid mantle is thrown off so your skin can become dry and flaky. Not all oils will break you out, most celebrities use straight oil on their faces (such as olive oil-dry skin only, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and hazelnut oil) as it is well known you get added benefits of the antioxidants and vitamins that naturally occur in these oils, that are not found in the synthetic petrol chemicals. As for the mineral makeup, the best I have found after years of using countless brands and types of cosmetics is Faerie Organic Minerals. They really offer a gorgeous flawless coverage but leave a healthy dewy glow, this is important in my line of business that people do not look chlaky or dry. They have free sample kits at their site so you can try them out before you buy. http://www.faerieorganic.comQuestion about powder makeup?
To be completely honest, most powder foundations really don't cover that well. If you have dry skin, powder might make your skin look blotchy or uneven, unless you use a heavy-duty moisturizer, of course. Most people switch to powder in the summer b/c if you sweat it wouldn't melt off like liquid or cream would, but if you have dry skin, it doesn't seem like an issue.
If you really want to test it out w/ your skin, I recommend L'Oreal Bare Naturale mineral powder foundation, although it says 'bare natural' the coverage is actually very heavy, and a little goes a long way.
Since you've been using tinted moisturizer, I don't see why liquid foundation is that much different, it's pretty much the same except more coverage. (easy to get cakey though b/c of its full coverage, so don't use too much)
If you do decide to change your mind about liquid foundation, I recommend Rimmel Lasting finish foundation (very good coverage but doesn't feel heavy), and Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation (very natural finish) is actually great for dry skin.
Hope this helps
just be sure, because moisturizer can make you oily, that you blot your face before you wear powder.
and be sure to re-apply through out the day.
and cover girl or Lancome is the best.
(but i don't know if you can get Lancome at drugstores.)
bare minerals has a hydrating powder foundation. that should do the trick.
