If you want to give your makeup that perfect finish, the secret is knowing how to use translucent pro. To do this, we answer the main questions about the product
In the world of makeup, every day, a different and innovative product appears for women. And it is exactly one of those miraculous products, which make that difference in makeup, that we will talk about now: translucent powder.
For those who don’t know, this powder is considered a wildcard product. Basically, it has the power to prolong the durability of makeup. Furthermore, the translucent powder can also control the skin’s oiliness, and give a velvety final touch to the product.
The most interesting thing is that this powder – as the name suggests – is translucent. In other words, transparent.
Therefore, it does not have enough pigmentation to add color to your makeup. Although this detail has numerous advantages in finishing the makeup, it is important to emphasize that this powder cannot cover any blemishes, as other face powder would help to camouflage.
Furthermore, if used incorrectly, the product can completely ruin the look. Especially in photos with flash, as the whiter tone of the product tends to pop in direct light. Therefore, it is worth being more careful before using it.
How to use translucent powder?
Regions to apply translucent powder
A priori, it has no restrictions. In other words, you can apply the translucent powder all over your face.
Because it is transparent, which means it will not change the color of your skin. Basically, it will just even out your makeup.
However, if you have no experience in makeup, it is recommended that you apply it only to the T-zone of your face. Translation: on the forehead, nose and chin.
One tip is not to apply the product with a heavy brush or sponge below the eyes and around the mouth. The best option is to just bring a little of the product already applied in other areas to these specific parts.
This is because the probability of the product being accumulated in these lines will be greater. And if that happens, your makeup could look artificial, which is not cool. Not to mention that, due to expression lines, these areas become cracked very easily.
Ways to apply translucent powder
Firstly, the most recommended brush is the fan brush, also known as a broom brush. In fact, this brush will allow you to blend the product more on your face. Therefore, it will be difficult to look like a ghost, which is much feared when it comes to translucent powder.
However, if you don’t have this brush, you can use other brushes too, or a sponge. For example, the round brush, the traditional one. However, in these cases, it is recommended that you apply less of the translucent powder, as with these accessories you may not be able to spread it completely.
In fact, if you are going to use the powder brush, the Women’s Area tip is that you make circular, gentler movements. This will ensure that the powder is well spread and settled, without leaving the skin irritated.
Application trick, so as not to appear in photos
Every woman, when she does her makeup, immediately thinks about angles, when she can take a photo, and whether the makeup looks good in the images. Therefore, this tip will be wonderful for you who want to appear radiant in your photo at night. Because no one deserves you to do that production and it doesn’t even appear in the clicks.
Firstly, as we already know, if you don’t know how to use translucent powder it can become an enemy of perfection. The best thing to do then is to buy a powder with a finer texture so as not to leave your makeup too marked.
Furthermore, it is also important that you blend the product a lot. Ideally, you should only stop blending when you can’t see any remaining powder in the corners of your face.
Anyway, now that you’ve discovered powder tricks, let’s move on to the photo trick. The tip is to always take a photo with a flash, to see what your makeup looks like. In other words, if in the photo you see traces of powder, the ideal is to blend your face again, until it looks flawless, and of course, free of the ‘ghost’.
Can people with darker skin also use translucent powder?
Firstly, even though it is transparent, translucent powder is not suitable for all skin pigmentations. Basically, there are different colors of powder, which must be modified according to skin tone.
Even though the translucent powder does not change the color of the makeup, it is recommended that you follow the color palette. There are powders that are pinker, more yellowish and so on, which adapt better to different skin tones.
Therefore, dark-skinned and black women can also use this product, as long as they make the right choice.
