Now, I hate face powder. Even if my base is done correctly, I'd rather walk around like a shining disco ball than dust powder on my face. However, Martin may have talked me into coming round to the occasional dusting of the stuff to set my makeup.
Martin suggested I was going wrong by using a shimmery loose setting powder all over my face, which was not only a messy to use but also made me look even more like a disco ball. Following her advice, I now use a pressed powder like Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder(£20) or Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish (£34) and press it over my nose area and lightly on my forehead. And here's the thing: if you follow tip 1, then your powder will never look heavy.
