Tips for using powder cake
Know the correct function.
There are two main types of pressed powders - loose powders and pressed powders, both dewy and matte. It's important to know which one to use for what purpose. Loose powders are basically used to set makeup and make it last longer. Although it is available in tinted and translucent forms, it is best to use a clear translucent to set makeup as it will not affect the color of foundation and concealer. However, pressed powder is best for touch-ups on the go. Plus, the dewy finish gives skin a radiant glow, while the matte finish offers a porcelain look with a delicate texture.
Choose the right brush.
The effect of any make-up product is highly dependent on the applicator, and this is especially true for powders. Always apply powder with the fluffiest brush you can find for best results with best beauty products.

It's also a clever way to reverse the order in which you apply the products for a crushed effect. All you have to do is apply blush first and then apply foundation on top. The end result looks like you are naturally glowing from within. Use paper towels for blotting.
Instead of using powder to apply the blush, use a tissue instead. Gently press onto blush after application, then finish with a makeup sponge or beauty blender for the perfect color on cheeks. It's tricky to pull off a shimmery blush perfectly. In fact, if you have enlarged pores, acne, or other problematic skin symptoms, it's best to skip the shimmery blush altogether
