Here's What Happened When I Applied My Setting Powder Before Foundation
Friday, June 15, 2018So I recently saw a Youtube video of Jackie Aina praising and applying her setting powder before her foundation. I have never thought to do that and was intrigued so I gave it a shot three days in a row. I thought it might be good at keeping my oil breakouts at bay. Here's what happened and here's what I used:
Day 1:
Lorac Light Source PrimerLaura Mercier Setting Powder (not shown in photo above, but reviewed here)
Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet+ Foundation
Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Cream
Day 2:
YSL Touche Eclat Blur PrimerLaura Mercier Setting Powder
Fiona Stiles Luminous Finish Foundation Concentrate
Nars Radiant Concealer
Day 3:
YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer
Laura Mercier Setting Powder
Julep Beauty Complexion Cushion
Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer
Julep Beauty Complexion Cushion
Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer
I didn't like it.
I could actually see the flakes of powder on my face. I would usually pat with powder if I looked oily, but this method just made me feel cakey. Maybe this method would be better for someone with normal or dry skin?
Lesson learned; the grass ain't always greener! Have you tried this technique before?
