Use the liquid foundation first on the oily areas, once it’s dried apply the powder to the dry areas making sure to blend them together. If you have combination skin so some areas on your face are dry and some are oily, one of the best tips I picked up is to use both, powder and liquid foundation.Powder simply doesn’t blend as well into the skin when applied with fingers. Use a makeup brush or beauty blender, not your fingers to apply powder foundation.What you’re left with is no what you desire… trust me! The reason is pretty simple, when you apply a liquid product over a powder, it moves the powder around. Always use powder blush and bronzer over a powder foundation. When applying powder foundation, never layer liquids over powders.This tip doesn’t really affect your powder foundation, but since I was giving tips… well, I couldn’t resist mentioning it:) Like always! Even in the rain, and even if you plan on staying in all day. A moisturised face is a smoother face and a smoother face holds makeup better and longer, hence don’t skip it! By now, your moisturiser is probably your best friend (that’s if you’ve been here long enough!). And by that I mean, cleansing! When you apply makeup to a dirty face, your pores will clog and your makeup won’t apply as smoothly as it could have. As with any makeup routine, always start with the basics.
