| You're Doing It Wrong : Flour Powder Face Jul 21st 2012, 05:53 another segment of beauty faux. Today's post is going to be about Flour Powder Face.  | Nicole Kidman at the movie premier of Nine in New York | No one wants a mismatched face, but it happens. Even I, myself, really don't like this - it's pretty obvious. Your makeup tends to look fine in natural lighting, but then when you take photos, things are suddenly very wrong. A lot of girls whom happens this to don't even realize it until when they look at their tagged photos, in Facebook and at that moment they're like, WHO IS THIS MESS?!The reasons why it happens are few: Number ONE: The powder that they're using might be mineral makeup, so it has natural SPF in it. And a lot of the times, this mineral makeup reflects light very easily. So when you take a photo and the flash goes off, suddenly that's all you're seeing - just this big reflection of powder.  | | Mineral Powder from Maybelline.com | Number TWO: They might be over-powdering and putting way too much on, when they only need to blot just a little bit around the places where their face tends to get oily.  | | 100% Mineral Silica Powder from Makeupforever.com |
Number THREE: They are using a silica-based powder, which is very white and very pigmented. Silica-based powders will also reflect light. These products absorb oil so well, which is why it happen to celebrities, it's most likely that they used a silica-based product in the hopes of keeping their oil in check throughout the night. In fact a lot of people apply too much, and you've got a flour powder mess. Kelli Pickler and Uma Thurman have all fallen victim into the same make-up fail. So How You Fix this Problem: Is simply check yourself before you wreck yourself. Before you go out, head into the bathroom, turn off the lights, and take a photo of your face with a flash camera. This will expose any of your excess powder and you'll be able to fix it before heading out the door and avoid looking like a mess!Have this happened to you??? xoxo Amber Related Topic: Beauty Faux: Spidery Lashes Photo Source : CelebrityFix and Beautychaotic.com Article from: MichellePhan.com  Source: http://ambershareforcare.blogspot.com/2012/07/youre-doing-it-wrong-flour-powder-face.html | |
