Is face powder any good??....I'm not very good with makeup!?

I have quite a few blemishes on my face, which I cover up every day with a liquid foundation, followed by dream matte mousse over the top.





I was thinking of buying some face powder to wear over the top of this, cause apparantely it sets the foundation.





If I wore powder over the top would it give a more flawless effect and cover the spots up better?Is face powder any good??....I'm not very good with makeup!?
Wow, that's a lot. You might want to think about easing up on all your makeup and just go with one really good foundation. You'll be spending the same amount of money (if not less) than you would buying all that stuff. Particularly with L'Oreal, liquids and mouses really clog your pores. If you really want a good flawless face, there are three steps to follow. Prime, color, and set. I'll go through these steps and give you my favorite line for these steps that I use, Pur Minerals. The benefits to using mineral makeup is that you are actually using something that is good for you skin, rather than something that is terrible for you skin that only adds to the problems you are trying to cover up. You can even sleep with mineral makeup on (although you should wash it off so you can moisturize at night). Here's the steps you need to do in order to achieve a flawless face.


Prime:


You need to use a primer if you want to have that smooth skin, especially if you said you have blemishes. A primer is a liquid that you apply all over your face after your moisturizer and before your foundation to make sure that you are putting a protective layer between your makeup and skin and making it so your makeup will stay on all day, and with higher pigments so that you will use less makeup. There are two Pur primers. If you have redness in your skin, use the green primer, if you have dull skin, use the peach. Here's the link to see these primers:

Color:


Now you're ready for foundation. Pur is a compact mineral powder that gives great coverage (espeically when used with a primer) and will be your concealer and you foundation. You take your foundation compact and your bristle brush (both come in a kit together), tap your brush on your makeup to loosen up the foundation, pick the color up on your brush, swirl your brush around in the clear top of the compact and buff onto your face. You'll be amazed at the coverage that you are getting. Watch some of the videos online to see the coverage and the technique. It's really great. Then you take your concealer brush (you can get on easily if you don't have one) and swipe underneath your eyes for concealer. Here's the foundation from Pur:

Set:


Using a setting powder will give you a glow and make sure that your makeup stays on all day. I use the radiance powder. You just dust it lightly all over your face. Now if you get the starter kit, you'll be getting your brush, foundation, bronzer and blush, but they are a starter kit and aren't the full size (my founation still lasted me two months though!). If you like the blush and bronzer there is a set of those two with the radiance powder all in full size. Here's the link to the radiance powder and the set of three:

If you get the starter kit, you'll have everything put a primer and finishing powder. Heres the starter kit:

See if there's a makeup store in your area where you can go and have them put it on you. It's good to test it out. But I really recommend this makeup. I've been using it for a long time now, and I will never go back to liquid or cream. Give it a shot. Here's some pictures of me wearing my makeup (hope they work) so you can see the coverage.

Good luck!Is face powder any good??....I'm not very good with makeup!?
I always use a pressed powder as I find it less powdery and more natural, I also find it sets the foundation better and of course you can take it out in your handbag and use it to pat away any shine you get during the day! I use the Elizabeth Arden Flawless finish pressed powder. It comes in a lovely compact with a mirror and applicator. It is usually about 拢20 but you can get it for less than 拢10 from www.beautyparlor.co.uk and it also lasts for months! Highly recommended.
For one thing i dont think that wearing a foundation and then putting another foundation on top is helping your spots at all!





anyways stick to the liquid foundation and i use mineral powder (loose) and i lightly dab some on my face using a powder brush.





and no just coz u wear powder it will not give you a more flawless look... as it will stick to teh spots and make them appear bigger. but as i sed i think use 1 foundation any mineral powder you can find and dab it on.... this will make your skin better and will stay on.
Honey if you use all that on your face you will have even more problems.Sorry but this is a really cakey look you are descibing less is more so they say keep it simple identify your skin type and only use products that are right for you.Allow yourself to go makeup free one day a week to give your skin a break form all that gunk.Maybe stick to powder only you sound like you have oily skin if you have spots, the powder may help to dry out your skin a bit, use a good anti blemish face wash too.
I love the mineral make-up powder. I just use a green tinted concealer to even out my red spots then use the powder on top, and it covers up most of my blemishes. Plus its really light and not as bad for your skin as liquid foundation. I use a regular blush brush and it works fine.
i like to loreal products... try it... and maybelline also.


it's better to use brush when applying the powder for finish.


before you apply any make-up... put some moisturizer first to even your skin and also for even application of make up.it will provide smooth skin and free of blemishes. don't forget the concealer under your eyes.just tap with your fingers.


that's all

i personaly dont like face powder as it tends to wear off easily. Also if you have dry skin,spots ect.. it makes them stand out more and makes dry skin worse. i Think though if you wa slooking to by a face powder a face mineral one would be best.
it should do and a brush is a good idea,i often use face powder at the age of 55 if i wear foundation it seems to magnify my wrinkles and i have found that a good face powder is better for me.
Yes I would recommend loose mineral powder.


Hides everything and is good for your skin %26amp; comes with a brush.


You could get them at any drug store for about 20$


hope this helps!
i use dream matte powder and its really good. it comes with a pad thing to apply it with.
I don't know. What if it rains?
