Barbizon powder is an unscented translucent, loose powder that does not alter foundation color.  This is the type professionals prefer to set makeup and help prevent oil buildup.  Blot excess foundation with tissue before applying powder.

1.  Use your powder brush as your applicator.

2.  Dip the brush into powder, shake off excess, and brush powder lightly over one area at a time, stroking up and down to blend powder into foundation.  Include eyelids and lips.

For a quick touch up, there’s nothing better than powder.  Always carry it with you!  Press gently under eyes, on nose, chin and forehead.  Blot your skin with a tissue or oil blotting papers first. Click here to see more Barbizon Cosmetics.

–Blend your eyeshadow well.

–Don’t apply too much. When in doubt, less is more.

–Always remove all makeup before going to sleep.

Blush can brighten up your face, aid in contouring, and emphasize bone structure. To apply blush:

1. Lightly sweep your blush brush over blush compact. Shake excess from brush.

2. Lightly brush color onto cheekbones, working diagonally, and blend well. If more blush is desired, adding a second layer of color is better than coming on strong all at once.

3. Lightly dust your face with translucent powder for a soft matte finish and to set blush.

4. For a most gentle blusher effect, try mixing your most flattering blush shade with a little translucent powder before applying.
