While translucent powders are great to set your makeup, you often run into the risk of it leaving a white cast behind. To avoid this, it is best to use setting powder that has some colour to it. Choosing a loose powder shade closest to your skintone is an easy way to avoid flashback.
Do you put primer on before translucent powder?
Yes, use the powder before the setting spray and foundation. Apply generous spritzes of setting spray all over your face. Let sit for 10-15 seconds until it’s still damp and tacky. If also using a makeup primer, dab it on lightly now.
