Set Powder Makeup – Apply loose or compact powder makeup with a brush or pat on oily areas over cream blushes, luminizers and accents, and eye products that may smudge. Blot the T-Zone to minimize the breakdown of makeup.
Set Powder with Setting Spray – After applying powder on the face, use a setting spray that contains polymers that bond the makeup together. It is also important not to use oils that may cause it to deteriorate.
