Do you know what translucent powder is for? Do you even know how to use it? Discover 6 simple tricks with translucent powder that will transform your makeup:
If you are new to the world of makeup, you may not have understood very well the role of translucent powder in makeup. This is because this is a thin, white product, but it doesn’t add color (at least it shouldn’t) and it has different functions than the face powder, which people are more used to.
But, if you’re wondering whether this is really a necessary product in your makeup box, wait until the end of this article to decide. That’s because you’re about to discover some great features for translucent powder.
If you’re not a fan of false eyelashes, for example, this little product can transform the finish of your makeup and make your hair much more voluminous and visible. And what can we say about the protection that translucent powder creates on the skin against the dirt that blending with dark shadows can create?
These are just some interesting functions for this powder that is forgotten at the bottom of your drawer and that you have certainly thought about disregarding a few times. Want to see?
Check out 6 tricks with translucent powder that will transform your makeup:
1. Leave voluminous eyelashes
In addition to a good mascara, the secret to getting more volume in your lashes is to use a little translucent powder. You should apply a little bit of powder to your hair and then apply the mask. For a more intense result, layer, alternating between powder and mask.
The product ends up creating a film around the eyelashes and leaving the strands thicker and more prominent.
2. Mattify creamy lipstick
Any lipstick can be made matte if you apply a layer of translucent powder over it. In addition to the matte effect, this trick gives lipstick incredible durability. But, don’t get excited: just a small amount on the lipstick, just that “little dirt” that remains on the brush.
3. Prevent dark eyeshadow from smudging the skin
Do you know how to prevent your skin from getting dirty when doing that black smoky eye? Simply apply a thick layer of translucent powder in a half-moon shape to the area under your eyes. The eyeshadow pigment will fall onto this “bed” and will not come into contact with the already prepared skin. Then just use the broom brush to sweep up the excess dust and everything will be under control.
4. Prevent concealer from creasing
To prevent the concealer from creasing, marking expression lines and lasting longer, you must seal the product with translucent powder. You should apply a good layer over the fresh concealer and leave it for a few minutes, allowing it to fill in the skin’s grooves and pores, creating a velvety and uniform appearance, without leaving a heavy appearance.
But, of course, skin preparation also counts a lot. Moisturizer, sunscreen and primer help avoid unwanted effects and make makeup last longer.
5. Disguise oiliness
If you don’t like the heavier look that face powder gives your makeup, opt for translucent powder. Because it’s very thin, it hides oil instantly. The perfect application is with a large, fluffy brush, directly on the T-zone, which includes the forehead, sides of the nose and chin; and in other areas of the face that tend to become oily throughout the day.
6. Prevent the outline from erasing
To stop your eyeliner from smudging, use translucent powder. This greatly increases durability and prevents your makeup from melting throughout the day.
For this trick, simply apply a little powder directly to the line, with the help of a beveled brush, to create an invisible barrier. This prevents the pigment from flowing with oil, for example.
A thin layer of powder on the eyelids also makes the eyeliner come out more evenly and last longer.
