Here’s a final nugget of wisdom that changed my life: less is more, but technique is everything. Stop using that big, fluffy brush like a broom. Instead, use a velvet puff (the kind that comes in the compact). Press the powder into the puff, fold it, and press it lightly into your skin. This “presses” it in without swiping it around, which is what displaces lines. Then, dust off the excess with a clean, fluffier brush.
Remember Aunt Carol? We got her a Kosas Cloud Set and a new velvet puff for her birthday. Last week, she called me to say she got carded at the pharmacy. Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration, but she did say her skin no longer feels like a chalkboard. That’s the win, right there. Your powder should be a safety net, not a mask. Now go forth and set that face—gently.
