Please STOP Being Afraid of Powder.. Here's Why

[@gerrimcgrath6878]

Omg, I just had this experience with a friend who was in town visiting. I wanted to go to Sephora and pick up my Huda “pink” powder. She gasped and said “don’t wear powder; it will look awful on your 68 year old skin”. I looked at her, took her face in my hands and said “Look. Does my skin look awful to you?” She said no but it will if you put powder on it. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ “I’m wearing powder!” She didn’t believe me. When we got back home to my place I instructed her to remove her makeup. I “did her makeup”. She is now converted. I have an extremely oily t zone, and eyelids.

[@marygillespie2028]

That's why powder works for you: your skin still makes oil.

[@marthamccarthy2417]

Your young and beautiful; however as you age powder only emphasis them! Wrinkles

[@gerrimcgrath6878]

@@marygillespie2028 Fair enough. But this technique does work.

[@Aimee-Gates]

@@marygillespie2028I have very dry skin and I apply powder in my T zone makes all the difference as far as minimizing the look of pores for my 50 yr old skin. It really is a matter of preferences. If I don’t use powder, it doesn’t matter the foundation, it doesn’t last.

[@lwiener67]

What is huda pink powder what does it do?

[@elisamullis7263]

I believe that a more up close view on the skin would be helpful to see how the powder looks and also natural light would make a huge difference compared to studio lights😊

[@twoleftfeet9626]

Yup. Studio lights and beauty filters account for a LOT

[@katiehenry7]

She used to show us her makeup in natural lighting at the end of videos. Lol

[@aprilrich807]

I’d like to see that too!!

[@nicky2011]

I really do agree. Of course studio lighting is going to make anyone look flawless. I have dry skin and it's not mature skin😂 the only place I powder is under my eyes and when using blush and bronze I use a cream and then powder and I set my face with setting spray and that works perfect. Also she just put on moisturizer what about sunscreen that also plays a role. And um what about the sunscreen under and around the eyes smh. Not everyone needs to powder there whole face especially if you have dry skin😂😂

[@juliav5312]

as an oily skin girly i cannot live without powder...im so glad you put me onto the huda beauty easy bake because that's literally my holy grail powder now. so smoothing and makes my makeup last forever. love you allie!

[@ChristinePacinda]

As a lifelong oily skin gal, I can't imagine NOT having and using powder regularly. Even days when I don't wear foundation I'll often still use some powder. And modern formulations are amazing! Even now at 53 years of age, I continue to have oily skin and must add multiple layers of powders and setting spray to control the shine. A young lady at Sephora complimented me on my "dewy glow" when I was shopping there one day and I had to fight every impulse to immediately reach for the powder, LOL! The "dewy" look is literaly what I've spent my entire life trying to avoid, LOL! I really did appreciate her compliment though. She was absolutely lovely and made my day.

[@sherrigarrett3649]

Love this type of content! The tutorials really help me elevate my makeup game - more so than all product reviews.

[@madsquishy3410]

I watch a lot of beauty influencers, but I have to say that the majority of tips and tricks I use in my makeup routine are from watching YOUR videos. You really know your stuff and give us real solutions to problems that we can implement in our daily routines and I appreciate you so much for that!!

[@allieglines]

🥹 this means so much to me! ❤️ THANK YOU!! xoxo

[@juliahester1945]

Thank you for this tutorial. I desperately needed this. I'm one of those who is afraid of too much powder drying me out. I have normal to dry mature skin. Gotta love my fine lines under the eyes. I'm having issues with concealer creasing, so I will definitely be trying your ideas out.

[@Dopey22AMJ]

This was super helpful! As a dry skin girly I’m always afraid to use too much powder but I will definitely try some of these techniques! I think a good affordable setting spray that I use every time I do my make up is the Milani make it last setting spray! It is soooo good! My make up looks the same at the end of the day when I use it, even with just wearing cream products!

[@Wesley-mt1sc]

By far one of my favorite videos you’ve done. The way you explained the techniques you do and what it should look like is exquisite. People like you, Johnny Ross, and Robert Welsh are the true MVP’s of the beauty space! 🎉🎉🎉

[@NatalieGrace99]

I was finishing up my makeup for the day, went for a green shimmer lid and killed the eyeliner, but wasn't going to powder for the exact reasons you mentioned, Allie. Your video came out at the perfect time, I followed step my step and I feel confident and amazing like no other! I'm so excited to see how this wears.

[@hannahb3787]

Huda powder + triangle puff is a game changer!!!! Also I’ve been trying out the combo of using the Danessa myricks blurring balm powder as a primer, then setting face with Uoma tripping smooth powder with brush and puff …. When I tell you my pores disappeared!!!!! A lot of products minimize my pores but I had to look in SO CLOSE bc i was shook it looked like my pores were nonexistent

[@summersmakeupchannel9289]

I'm a lit older than most that watch you I'm sure. Even with my mature skinnothing has really changed in my skin. I'm just considered normal. My favorite powder is fentys lavender I believe. Always leaves my skin flawless. You have taught me tons. Thank you. Should say I'm 63. I use powder

[@shelbyloock9086]

I would love if you do more in-depth tutorials on application of specific products.

[@Wpopurple]

I was scared of powder because I was using the wrong powders, and my makeup always looked cakey. The only one that works for me is the huda beauty loose setting powder, it’s a game changer

[@pankreas2195]

[@jessicaf3949]

My makeup changed drastically (to the better) when I started using a powder puff! I have a triangular one from LH Cosmetics. Some powders are also better than others. My favorites right now are Morphe Loose setting powder and Hourglass veil translucent setting powder.

[@jenniferanneken9112]

I have mature skin and started following you years ago. I had always steered clear of powder because it sat on top of my skin. After watching your videos, I started using a sponge to set my foundation with good results. Months later, I added setting spray and sponge to set it. I now use powder and the "sandwich" technique. I love how my makeup looks now, especially under the eyes where age can show. Thank you, Allie, for all your tips/techniques. They do make a big difference

[@connienunez9924]

Thank you so much for this, Allie! I just have to use powder and truly can't imagine not using it but now that I'm aging and my skin is changing I'm having some powder issues and dryness. I used to have combination skin and I knew exactly what to do. Now I'm back to experimenting!

[@alexandrascully4033]

Super helpful tutorial. I’m super dry skin so powder does freak me out. But there were some more helpful tips in here to try and maybe I need some new powder. Love these video styles too. More close ups and natural light would be helpful too if possible

[@annmarie3573]

Do you wet your beauty sponge or are you a dry beauty sponge girly? Love your videos so much! I hope you’re enjoying mom life! I’d love to see some mom life vlogs from you if you’re interested in that! Even if baby isn’t shown 😊

[@alphabookworm]

I came to ask this exact question!! 😊

[@sisiwx6154]

A damp sponge helps to melt the product into your skin, and can absorb excess powder. I'm a dry skin girl, and I usually will use a puff to apply my powder, dust off excess with a brush, and then use a damp sponge to help with melting it into the skin.

[@monicalianna3621]

When it comes to skin prep, I find that dermaplaning often also helps! It takes away the peach fuzz that the powder can cling onto! It will sit smoother on the skin (for liquid and cream products as well).

[@CGI_Andy]

I have figured out how to wear powder for my oils but also not make my dry areas look meh. so first putty primer and then whatever else i do. it depends on the day. if i put something like concealer for example i'll set it by tapping off the excess on a puff. i use a pressed powder. if i dont wanna put anything, i'll just sweep powder over my face lightly. then eyeshadow if i want and whatever else. 2 thin layers of all nighter spray from urban decay (make sure it is fully dry). next i powder my face again with a brush (smaller for around the t zone and bigger for the rest of my face). lastly some boy brow and lips. this is how I make my skin look pretty good and last all day. my skin gets cranky sometimes around my acne so i keep in mind that most people aren't gunna be really close. i watch robert welsh and every time i hear him say that you don't need powder im like bro some of us do. trust me i will not look shiny but touching my face will tell you im very oily.

[@BeautyXXBrittany]

YESSS I LOVE POWDERS!!!! THEY ARE THE ONLY THINGS I TRUST WHEN KEEPING MY MAKEUP AND CLIENTS LOOKING FLAWLESS!!!! I CANT EVEN DO MY MAKEUP WITHOUT USING POWDERS!!!!! SETTING POWDERS, BRONZERS, blushes, LITERALLY EVERYTHING!!!! HOW DO PPL NOT use powders????? my FACE would look oily AF if i didnt use powders!!!!

[@mollyjane01]

These tips regarding how to powder are invaluable!! I could watch it many times & pick up something different each time 😊. Thanks for putting this out there, Allie ❤. PS-I think you should make this a mini series where you hyper-focus one on thing i.e. powdering, applying blush, contour vs bronzer etc. Just a thought. Love you🫶

[@Heather145]

For my dry skin, other then good skincare or prep. I find being light handed with my powders and complexion products (concealer & foundation) is the way to go.

[@audreyso1201]

Hello Allie, powder for me is my best friend, having oily skin I have learned to use it correctly. Thank you for this superb, very interesting video. Your complexion and makeup are superb❤🧡💛​

[@marygillespie2028]

I'm 62 and have very dry skin. Even the Givenchy Prism Libre powder with a Wayne Goss brush will make my under-eyes look wrinkled and old - no matter how little powder I use. I've been doing your "sandwich" method or something similar for years. It's even worse with a puff. I can use the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless setting powder in my t-zone, but NO POWDER under my eyes has worked in the last 10 years.

[@shansoup1]

Try Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Eye Base and Pat McGrath's Sublime Perfection Blurring Under-eye powder (Sephora & Ulta) and I think you'll notice a huge difference & love your makeup again! At least that worked for me FINALLY, LITERALLY LIFE-CHANGING!!

[@onestep2dee]

Moisturizer under the eyes is a must. That said, no technique is going to blur wrinkles. Even young skin has wrinkles that crease. The key is to tap as much of the creases out before setting with powder. I’m 62 & have come to accept that nothing is going to make my under eyes look smooth again. Sometimes I just don’t set my concealer with powder & use setting spray instead. Sometimes I don’t use either powder or setting spray on my under eyes and just tap out the creases throughout the day

[@PrincessHeathaB]

I have very dry skin too. I use a nice emollient under eye cream, let it sink in and then use a tiny dot of the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Illumination, pat out the creases and it sets itself. No powder works on my undereye either.

[@ElshiBumcfksz]

Powder is not needed for dry skin at all like YT gurus teach us. We have different longevity without producing sebum so it really depends on individual case. I used to almost never put powder on dry skin clients, their make up still held brilliantly. You can use other techniques to make sure it's long lasting. Like stamping dry sponge all over with a quite a bit force to really work it into skin or taking of excess foundation with half tissue, using different foundations for different face areas, using setting spray ( I used dewy nyx spray and it worked excellently). Also taking the residue that is left from skincare is important in some cases. It can interfere with longevity. I generally hate powder, I almost never use it on myself especially in the winter. It's the most unforgiving season for powder 😅

[@lynnzymet4909]

Totally agree with Elshi. 68 yo, dryer skin, powder is not my friend.

[@marciareagan2718]

I just discovered hourglass setting powder. It’s way better for my mature eyes. It doesn’t blur like others but it is so much smoother.

I've never found a setting spray I like but even spraying water on my face helps settle powders in and lock the makeup down. You can use the hairdryer to melt everything together and evaporate the water.

[@LilyoftheValeyrising]

I am 51. I wear mostly powder. I try liquid foundation once in a while but always come back to powder. My favorite is Physician’s Formula Mineral Wear loose powder. I call it my red eraser. I stroke it on with a brush and it erases the red cheeks I have. I let it set a while and retouch for maximum effect ( the redness gone and a bit of mineral shimmer). I have normal skin, no acne ever, and a bit on the dry side in winter. When applying powder, I do layers and if I can I like to have a tiny bit of moisture on my skin to grab the minerals and make a glowy finish. Can’t describe that better. I use a moisturizer a few times a week, but nothing else. My profile picture is five years old lol I need to change it. 😅

I’ve actually tried a version of this to try and make powder work for me but no matter how much I prep or what powder I use (I’ve tried high end and drug store) my under eyes will be dry and flaky every single time. I’m just found that hydrating concealers on their own work for me. It just looks a lot better at the end of the day 😩

[@pankreas2195]

My skin is really oily but my undereyes are super dry. I only press powder on the sides of my nose, avoiding the eye area. Then I use a fluffy brush to just dust a little powder on top of my hydrating concealer to make it last. Using a thicker eye cream is key for me and a hydrating face mist before and after powder also makes all the difference.

[@shansoup1]

SAME!! Suddenly, in the last year, no matter how hydrated my under eyes were, the concealer that I used, or powder I used I looked 20 years older every time! I'd re-do my under-eyes constantly before finishing my makeup and started to get anxious about wearing makeup because of that... and I LOVE MAKEUP! After trying over a dozen different concealers (probably more actually) and different pressed and loose powders.. I was just so frustrated and down. 😢 With Sephora's October VIB sale.. I FINALLY FOUND THE MAGIC COMBINATION!! BOBBI BROWN'S VITAMIN ENRICHED EYE BASE (Allie mentioned in this video, too) AND PAT MCGRATH'S SUBLIME PERFECTION BLURRING UNDER EYE POWDER!!! Game-changing! Actually LIFE - CHANGING, I'm not kidding!!! Hope this helps!! 😊 Sephora is also having a sale now AND Ulta sells both if that's more convenient! 😘 And thank you, Allie!!!

[@twoleftfeet9626]

Put a LIGHT dusting of powder after your moisturiser and before your foundation, that will make your makeup last a LOT longer (you need to powder when finished as well)

[@rosemartin4398]

I have sworn by Laura Mercier regular since the beginning of time. No setting powder compares . I also love Givenchy and Huda for under eyes but the Huda breaks me out . Givenchy and Laura do not break me out at all. They are must haves and I don’t go a day without one or the other. And yes CT setting spray is among some of the best for truly setting makeup.

[@cs-yq5ed]

Allie, is the sponge dry or damp when you are using it to press the powder into your skin? I fall into the "terrified of powder" category. I am on the hunt for a self-setting concealer, so I don't need to use powder under my eyes. Based on your video, I will start experimenting using powder. It seems like it either looks too dry or, in the Summer when I need it to mattify, it looks sludgy. I will try to find that sweet spot by experimenting. 😊

[@user-st9pd6ux5i]

I use powders every single time I do my makeup. I love loose powder currently looking for a new loose powder to try out because I’m out of my old one and I love the L’Oréal infallible 24h fresh wear foundation pressed powder. I also love powder blush my favorite is Milani blush and I love powder bronzer but I’m currently looking for a new bronzer to try out because right now I’m trying to try out new products and expand the makeup I like. I also want to try creams because I’ve always been kinda scared of creams because when I was younger before I had my kids my skin was super super oily but now my skin has changed some after having kids my skin can get dry in some areas of my face but my T zone gets oily but not nearly as bad as it used to when I was younger. I mean I am young still I’m 27 that’s not old but my skin has definitely changed since having kids in my early 20s.
