Powder helps in setting make up but it can sometimes accentuate fine lines. Apply powder on your forehead, nose and chin, leaving the under eye area and cheeks alone since powder in these areas tends to settle into fine lines.
*Note: If you have dry/very dry skin, skip this step altogether.
Featured here and my go-to favorite: Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder (mini).
Do you use powder? Which one is your favorite?

I love this powder, and also the NARS translucent crystal powder!
I haven’t tried the Nars one but on my next Sephora trip, I’ll make sure to take a look. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yeah I have to be careful on HOW much powder I use or I do notice it settling in my fine lines lol. Though my favorite to use is Rimmel’s Matte Powder in Transparent.
Yes, the purpose of the powder is to help set and absorb any excess oil. However, if you have dry skin, your foundation isn’t really going to budge much anyway. If anything maybe an illuminating powder may work but again, you do have to be careful with the amount. Thanks for sharing your favorite! I’ll keep an eye out for it. 🙂
Thanks for the tip and your welcome! 🙂 xo
I use the NYX HD finishing powder. It’s a total dupe for the Make Up For Ever version. I use the Almay loose finishing powder sometimes too. I have combo/oily skin so I use whatever I can to stay matte.
I’ll definitely look into NYX when I finish the MUFE. Thanks for the tip! 🙂
