What a loose setting powder is
A fine loose powder that sets the base, takes down shine and holds everything beneath it in place.
How it is used. Press and roll on with a puff where the base must last; sweep off the excess with a large brush.
Read our loose setting powder guideThe techniques
- Press and roll
- Press a loaded puff onto the skin and roll it off, setting without disturbing the base.
- Bake
- Leave a thick layer of loose powder to sit for several minutes, then dust away the excess.
- Sweep
- Long, light strokes that deposit a veil of product.
- Press
- Press product onto the skin without dragging, so it stays where it is put.
What to apply it with
Velour powder puff
Also works with a triangle powder puff and a swansdown puff.
