Want your foundation to last longer? Powder it in place!
I have tried hundreds of powders over the years, but my favorite one of all is Face Powder Matte by Shu Uemura. Not only is it part of my own daily makeup routine, I also use it regularly on shoots.
Shu Uemura Face Powder Matte:
- Is a lightweight, loose powder which improves the staying power of cream and liquid foundations and helps minimize shine.
- Has a super-fine texture so it mattifies the skin without caking and causing dryness.
- Gives a semi-matte/matte finish but leaves the complexion looking soft and not over-powdered.
- Contains no shimmer or sparkle, so you can choose whether or not you want to add radiance to the face.
- Is available in a wide range of colors (and both warm (pink) and cool (yellow) complexions are catered for). My favorite shade is Colorless, which, as the name suggests, is translucent. Because it becomes invisible upon application, it can be used on many different skin tones and it doesn’t alter the color of the foundation beneath. (more…)
