Setting Powder Under Foundation

JeanLouiseFinch · ‎10-03-2011

I was flipping channels this afternoon and landed on a Lawless Beauty show. Shawn was showing a kit that contained a primer and setting powder. She and the rep were discussing the application. The way this is used is to apply the primer, set the primer with the powder and then apply the foundation. I've never heard of doing this before but according to them it's game changing.🤷‍♀️ Maybe I'll try it tomorrow with my own products and see what happens.

That's interesting @JeanLouiseFinch . I've never heard of putting foundation after setting powder. Please let us know how it turns out.

@JeanLouiseFinch @I saw the same thing! Let me know how it works! I'm curious!

I've heard of this before but never tried it so I'll be curious how it works out for you too!

NO way!!! That doesn't make sense!

@Shanus Your thoughts???

I heard about it recently but to me it just sounds like a big mess waiting to happen

I do this all the time but then again, I use a powder foundation. I dust some loose setting powder over my sunscreen, because it's pretty shiny, then I go ahead and apply my powder foundation over it.

@JudyL The rep said to only apply a light dusting. My first thought was that the powder would cause a liquid or cream foundation to dry too fast, before it could be spread completely. And I wondered about it balling up too.

I used to use a crushed pearl powder years ago. I would apply that over skincare before powdered mineral foundation. That was a fine combo because they were both the same form, but in the presentation they were referring to other forms of foundation.
