How to use wet and dry powder?

Wet and dry powder cakes Wet and dry powder cakes can be used dry or evenly applied on the face to prevent them from forming lumps or solidifying together, and to avoid some unevenness. However, when using powder cakes, you should pay attention to the fact that some people may be novices and may not be used to it at first, so you should take it slowly and apply less at the beginning.

1 Dry use

First, you should use your thumb and middle finger to hold the sponge into a U shape, dip it in powder, and then lightly pat it on the eye area (to prepare the base for eye makeup) and oily areas such as the forehead, nose and chin (to reduce oil and sweating). It should be noted that a certain amount of powder residue will be produced when used dry, so you will also need to prepare a large, clean powder puff and lightly sweep it over one last time to make the base makeup clean and traceless.

2 Wet use

The best way to wet the sponge is to use a spray so that the water can be evenly and finely distributed. Of course, if there are any water droplets remaining, you can adjust them when applying powder. Although the sponge is still held into a U shape with the thumb and middle finger, the wet powder should be applied back and forth in a seesaw manner to the powder. This ensures that the powder is fully atomized under the action of moisture. In addition, when applying it to the skin, lightly press it with the same seesaw technique to make the final effect natural yet invisible.

(2) To apply wet powder, dip a sponge in water. It is best to get it about 80% wet. If you get too much water, use the sponge to squeeze the water out. Do this several times, then apply the powder directly to your face.

4 (1) As mentioned above, dry powder is best for touch-up, but you need to do some homework before doing so. First, use oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil, then spray your face with a spray, wait a moment, wipe your face dry with a clean tissue, and then apply the powder directly on top. You have to use the pressing method, otherwise the powder will appear too thick.
