Baked Loose Beauty to Beat the Heat

by on

Hi girlfriends,

Ah, summer! It's a time of parties, picnics, and, let’s be honest, perspiration.

While you’re busy filling up your calendars with fun summertime to-dos, don’t forget to jot down "keep makeup fresh and shine free!" I know many women like me who want to be beautiful in the summer, but just can’t find the right melt-proof makeup. Enter the brand-new Skin Diffuser Baked Loose Powder!

This state-of-the-art Baked Loose Powder can be used as a light foundation or a finishing powder to help control oil and lightly mattify skin throughout the day thanks to oil-absorbing silica. Now, you can look pretty and shine free while you party! Not only does this multitasking marvel absorb unwanted oil, it also has optical blurring refiners that provide the ultimate in flawless coverage.

The light-as-air powder diminishes the appearance of imperfections and gives skin a soft-focus effect. No more un-tagging photos on Facebook, gals. Now, you’ll always be photo ready! And since we all want to pamper our skin, we’ve powered up Skin Diffuser Baked Loose Powder with white tea extracts and other antioxidants.

Skin Diffuser Baked Loose Powder starts out just like my other Baked products—as liquid pigments that are baked for 24 hours. It's then jet milled to create this beautiful, feather-light loose powder. As a result, it's lightweight enough that you can use it as your finishing powder, but it’s also buildable, so you can use it as a light, summer-perfect foundation.

Here are some really simple tips:

Twist the clear sifter guard to the left to release the powder. Instead of shaking the compact up and down to get the powder out, gently shaking it to the left and right will dispense it easily and cleanly. Using the stippling brush or puff, apply Skin Diffuser Baked Loose Powder to your entire face for a softly diffused look. Twist the guard to the right to close it. Replace the puff.

As you know, I always like to include a mirror with all of my products – but I must admit it’s a little messy with a loose powder. But here’s my trick gals, I take my Stippling Brush to grab the extra powder on the mirror! That way I am achieving a perfect finish and keeping my mirror clean at the same time.

For lighter coverage or to set makeup, use the stippling brush to sweep powder over your skin, paying attention to oil-prone areas. For fuller coverage, use the puff and gently press it on your skin to ensure a perfect application.
