5 Ways To Prevent Your Face From Being Smeared After Applying Powder

Powder can smear if it is applied on top of wet makeup such as liquid or cream foundation, BB cream, or tinted moisturizer. Powdered colors, including blushes, bronzers, and contour tones, that are applied directly over foundation have a propensity to smear.

Here are 5 ways to prevent your makeup from being smeared after applying powder:

Apply setting powder after foundation or in place of foundation.

Use both loose powder and setting spray to keep your makeup from smudging and transferring during the day.

Use your fingers to apply powders to blend them into the skin better and prevent patchy makeup.

Use a makeup primer that compliments your skin type to create a solid base to combat the effects of heat.

Set your eyeliner in place using a long-wearing eyeshadow in a color that matches your liner and apply a setting spray over your makeup once you’ve finished your look.
