I’ve struck gold. I’ve finally found the perfect product for setting foundation, minimizing pores and all this without ruining the colour of your foundation.
MAC’s Prep + Prime transparent finishing powder is translucent and is applied after your foundation in place of compact powder. Normally, compact powders have their own colour shade which is not always the same as your foundation. This has always been a problem for me as its colour clings to particualrly shiny areas and builds up on colour. Exactly the opposite of what I wanted.
But, with Prep + Prime, your foundation sets perfectly. Pores become almost invisible and all shine is removed. It sets the foundation softly, and very little of the product is needed to transform your make up.
A word of warning: the product comes out of lots of small holes, so its best to cut the sticker so just 3 or 4 holes let loose powder out, otherwise you may end up getting white powder everywhere!
For best application, a large rounded brush should be used in order to equally cover all areas and not deposit too much product. With this product, its much better to start with very little and build it up, otherwise you may be left with a white sheen if you dowse yourself in this product.
How to finish the look?
After, blusher and bronzer can be applied. On top of this powder base I would recommend powder blushers and bronzers as they’ll blend in more easily than creams.
I love finishing off with MACs magically cool liquid powder. Not only does this powder leave a cool, almost liquid like feel to the skin, but is made up of minuscule glimmering minerals, adding luminescent rather leaving sparkles. Perfect for a natural, gorgeous finish to your make up. I personally like the colour ‘truth and light’ as it leaves the most natural finish.
I hope you enjoy this miracle product as much as I do!
