Pressed Powder Application Tips

• Choose the right shade of pressed powder for your skin. Clear skin tone can use the translucent pressed powder. To control shine and get a matte look, a translucent pressed powder is your best option. There are a variety of shades ranging from light to dark. Different brands name the color uniquely but it must suit you to be applied on the skin.
  
  
• During the months of summer use darker tones for your skin as you tend to get a tan during the season.
  
  
• Sports persons must aware of their skin type. If you are too much into outdoor games, your skin gets exposure to the sun and also germs. Hence washing your face properly and using proper pressed powder shades are important to look good.
  
  
• To minimize the effect of a double chin use pressed powder on the jawline. It sculpts your face and reduces the extra bulk under your face.
  
  
• To make your cheekbones more prominent buy a darker shape of pressed powder and apply it just below the cheek bones in line with the base of your eyes. Keep it over the hairline for proper contouring. Using a press powder over a blush on makes your face look far more natural and tanned if necessary.
  
  
• You can apply it on the sides of your nose to give it a sharper look. Use a shade darker to your skin for this effect.
  
  
• Use press powder applicators made of cotton, polyester or terry cotton.
