Finish Your Look with Finishing Powder

Probably until this point, I had only known of body/baby powder, loose powder and pressed powder.  They each serve a unique purpose and that is that.  However, I have recently discovered finishing powder.  And yes, it does have the power to change your world!

Finishing powders can be used just as you would pressed or loose powder.  Key features are:
  • Colorless
  • Super fine
  • Reduces shine and pore appearance
So does it deliver?  Yes!  And, worth every penny!  You will only need a small amount.  Therefore, this stuff will last a few minutes!

I purchased NARS Light Reflecting Loose Setting Powder from Sephora and will never look back!  There are lots of brands on the market, but this one has worked great, and I plan to keep using this until I find something else.  

I recommend the following:
  1. Apply your toner or other primers if you use them first.  
  2. Proceed with eye cream(s).
  3. Next, apply your BB or CC cream.  I prefer a BB cream just because they seem to be lightweight and great for summer!  Make sure that you choose the coverage and color that works well for you.  This powder will not give you any cover.  It will ONLY finish your look.
  4. Add blush.  I use Nars blush as well.  
  5. Finally, add your finishing powder.
Afterwards, add your eye make up and lipstick and you are done.  

I still touch up once in a while during the day.  But I feel like my make up looks very natural.  It lasts all day and makes my skin super smooth.  

If you are looking for something sheer to use in the summer, this is for you.  It just sets your make up and you are done.  Give it a try.  I think you'll find that you love it as much as I do!
