Q: What is a powder brush used for?
A: Setting base makeup and taking down shine. The large, soft head picks up a light amount and distributes it evenly rather than depositing a patch.
Q: How do you apply setting powder?
A: Tap off the excess, then press or roll the brush over the areas that crease or shine rather than sweeping across the whole face. Less powder, better placed, looks far more natural.
Q: How do you bake your makeup?
A: Press a generous layer of powder into the under-eye and let it sit for a few minutes while the warmth of the skin sets the concealer beneath, then dust the excess away.
