if u use lose powder after u put on the foundation ur face won't look or feel oily... n it sets the makeup a lot better... the water proof lose powder is amazing... it holds the makeup even when ur sweating like a pig... very popular in theatrical makeup...
always better to. the new mineral foundation by loreal is fantastic. looks natural and you just apply moisturiser and brush on.
Always at least use moisturizer, let it absorbs for 5 or 10 minutes before applying foundation. Using a primer before applying foundation will hold you foundation better during the day and finish with powder will give it a natural look and also holds the foundation better.
i always clense tone and moisturise before wearing foundation make sure your skin is well moisturised!!! you don't want to put foundation on and then find bits of flaky skin coming through
if you don't use a moisturizer your face will be too dry and the effect will not be as good.. it'll get powdery/flakey.. sometimes you might need even 2 layers... it helps the foundation go on easier...
