Let Your Powder Bake
"The most important trick for a flawless foundation application is setting your foundation in place. I use a loose powder and pack it onto my beauty blender. I heavily apply it to my under-eye area, and use an excess amount all over my face. At first, it looks like too much, but after you let it sit for about 5 minutes, you brush away the excess and are left with foundation that will not budge."

Spritz After Setting
"When my skin is breaking out, I make sure to set my foundation and concealer with plenty of powder so it won't budge. But to avoid the 'cake face' look that a heavy powder application can give, finalize your makeup with a dewy finishing spray to replace your skin's natural, healthy glow."

Use a Delicate Touch
"For even coverage, use just the tip of your makeup brush and work your way around your face and down your neck."

Be Sure to Blot
"If you want a foundation to stay fresh longer on your skin without getting that greasy look, blot it immediately after powdering. It will absorb the excess moisture in the foundation and leave you with a satin finish that will last all day!"
