The warmer the weather gets, the less cakey layers I want on my face. It took me a few tries to get the perfect combination, but when I did I felt as if I hit the jackpot.
When applying makeup, the golden rule is cream applied to cream and powder applied to powder. Here's how I navigate my layers.
2: Apply color correcting concealer and then cream concealer
3: Set concealer only with MAC's Prep & Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
4: Apply any other cream products
5: Set face with MAC Pro's Invisible Set Powder
6: Apply face powder products
7: When all makeup has been applied, finish look with MAC's Prep & Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. Voila!
This may sound like a lot of layers, but the magical thing about both these powder products is that they are undetectable. They may seem similar, but they do vastly different things. MAC Pro's Invisible Set Powder does just that - it sets cream products perfectly and invisibly. MAC's Prep & Prime Transparent Finishing Powder is similar to Make Up For Ever's HD Powder in that they both utilize silicone technology to fill pores and fine lines, except in my opinion the MAC product is vastly superior. MUFE's HD Powder slipped right off my oily skin, while MAC's Prep & Prime easily gives that airbrushed effect.
The biggest difference between the MAC products is the actual product size. MAC's Prep & Prime powder is a mere 9 grams compared to the Invisible Set's monstrous 30 grams.
I want to know - what powder products are you currently using?
