- May exaggerate fine lines and wrinkles.
- Apply with a velour powder puff or soft natural bristle brush
Mineral Powder Foundation
If you prefer mineral foundation, try mineral blush if you haven't already. The two blend nicely.
Cream-to-Powder Foundation
- Because the formulas are much drier than liquid foundations, cream-to-powder foundations are a favorite for women with oily skin.
- Covers more flaws than a liquid or powder.
- If you suffer from dry skin, cream-to-powder foundations may not be a good choice.
- Apply with a dampened cosmetic sponge.
- To prevent streaking, do not overload the sponge.
- For a flawless finish, do not reload the sponge until the foundation has been exhausted.
