Apply with a large powder makeup brush for your touch-ups. This will prevent an “overload” of powder applied during the course of the day. A good large brush will dust powder on lightly.
Choose a mineral foundation for optimal results. Before application, make sure you moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer before applying foundation, especially for those with oily skin.
