Do I need to use both powder and liquid foundation?

Pressed cake and liquid foundation are both cosmetics used for base makeup, but pressed cake can be used for more purposes. Not only can it be used as powder, it can also be used to apply liquid cosmetics. Generally, girls will use less of one of these two when putting on makeup. They think that the functions of these two cosmetics are the same, which is to even out skin tone. Using too much is a waste, so they will use less of one of them. Then do they need to use both liquid foundation and pressed cake?

After using liquid foundation, you need to use powder to set the makeup, but liquid foundation does not have the effect of setting makeup.

The correct way to use liquid foundation: 1. Apply foundation with the fingertips. You should practice applying it repeatedly on the back of your hand first to become familiar with the characteristics of the foundation and the feeling of it on your skin. After you have fully mastered the technique, you can try applying it on your face.

2. First, pour an appropriate amount of liquid foundation into the palm of your hand and apply it evenly to the forehead, nose tip, cheeks and chin. Apply it from the middle of the forehead to the sides, lightly tap around the eyes, downward 45 degrees on the cheeks, and from top to bottom on the chin, philtrum and nose. Remember to push it down in one direction and avoid applying it back and forth repeatedly.

3. If you apply too thick foundation on eyes that blink frequently, fine lines will easily appear. Therefore, when applying foundation under the eyes, look upwards slightly and apply from the inside of the eye to the outside with light pressure.

4. The foundation should be applied thinly and evenly, and should be gradually faded when applied to the neck, behind the ears, forehead, and roots of hair. The transition between the foundation and the skin should be natural and smooth, otherwise it will give a fake look to the face.

5. In addition to using your fingertips, you might as well choose a makeup sponge to make the foundation look more transparent and natural. In addition, if it is applied too thickly, you can wipe off some of it with a wet sponge.

If you don't have a lot of blemishes on your skin, foundation is enough. Or you can apply concealer on individual blemishes or dark circles after applying foundation. You don't need to use powder to set your makeup. Because powder usually has a covering effect, foundation + powder will make the makeup look thick and unnatural. So it is recommended to use loose powder to set your makeup. Loose powder generally has no covering power or very weak covering power and is very thin. Its function is to set the makeup and it will look very natural. If your skin is dry, it is recommended to use a spray on your face after loose powder. For example, Evian spray. Spray a large area of ​​the face about 20 cm away from the face, which can not only enhance the makeup setting effect, but also keep the skin hydrated. And this spray can be carried with you, and when you feel your face is dry, take it out and spray it. Because this spray is pure natural, it is suitable for any type of skin.

Another point that people often overlook is touch-up. Touch-up is very important, but it is often overlooked by girls. Why can many Japanese and Korean girls maintain perfect makeup all day long? It is because of touch-up. Generally, makeup can last for 4-5 hours at most, and then touch-up is necessary. When touch-up, first use oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil on the face, and then use powder (note, powder should be used at this time) to touch up the makeup.
