Using a large soft brush or the puff provided, apply powder immediately after foundation and before applying powdered eyeshadow, blushers or bronzers. This will give greater bendability and a more professional result. Pressed and loose formats both deliver the same result, but pressed powders have the added benefit of convenience and portability for touch-ups.
