Load with either pressed or loose powder, tap off any excess and apply with sweeping movements.

It may be messier than a compact, but nothing sets make-up better than a dusting of loose powder.

Blot and re-apply, then dab on a tiny amount of loose powder for staying power and reduce glossiness.

For extra staying power, place a layer of tissue over lips, apply loose powder through the tissue then add another layer of lipstick.

Dry shampoo sprays can leave hair a little crisp, but you'll have no such problem with this loose powder.
