ALL ABOUT POWDER! SET, BUFF, POWDER FOUNDATION??? WHEN DO YOU USE IT AND WHY. TIME STAMPS

[@b.b7305]

Pat McGrath is the best I tried, I’m 56 and I use it to set my eye lids and what ever is left I use under my eyes. I have had mine for over a year and use it every day.

[@pamk7442]

A great video and appreciate you providing your top picks for each type. Have you considered doing a part two, taking your absolute favorite of each powder type and doing a tutorial, showcasing your method of application (exact preferred brush type or sponge and technique)? I know you do tutorials often for building the full face but if the tutorial was focused on the powder steps and more details shared, I would find value in that. Either way, thanks again for doing this one!

[@pamk7442]

(The biggest challenge for me is buffing powders. I love the concept and love the finish of both hourglass items and the guerlain beads (the smell is divine) but manage to make it buff out the definition/vibrancy that blush and bronzer and highlight created)

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I wil definitely do that Pam...having lots of requests in the comments to do that.

[@sherryg5813]

Yes to more educational videos.

I have been using the Chanel loose powder..even at 65 I still have oily skin and it does a good job at keeping skin matte

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I LOVE the older version of the Chanel loose powder, but I haven't tried it since they changed the formula.

Definitely agree on undereye setting for me for the same reasons. The best I’ve found right now for me is from Nikkia Joy. I’m on my third.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I can't believe I haven't tried that one yet...I need to check it out.

[@jcjccmz]

Love this video, Mandy. Have you ever done a video on the various powder application techniques (puff, brush, etc.) and which technique/tool is best for which desired effect? I don't know why, but it seems like whenever I apply powder to set my foundation and to try getting a matte, poreless look, I just end up with a cakey look that emphasizes lines AND pores. I've almost given up powder because I get the look I want only about 1 in 10 times I try lol

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thanks Julie! I haven't, but I definitely will. I have had a lot of requests in these comments. xoxo

[@donnadesisto6225]

Such a complicated topic but super helpful! I've broken my Pat McGrath a few times, so now I've moved on from that one, although it's lovely. I have an obsession with powders as I'm looking to blur texture on mature skin. Currently in my rotation for under eyes in Nikkia Joy loose, and for face I'm using Ben Nye Banana power, with both I'm using small triangular black powder puffs from Amazon for a nice finish. This topic might be nice to clone and do primers-my other obsession. Thanks Mandy!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Great choices! Thank you Donna!

I will do that video for sure! My fave brush for buffing is a duo fibre brush from IT Cosmetics. But any duo fibre brush is what I recommend.

[@kristineriddell9777]

Great video... I agree on all your powder selections however you missed one of my favorites... the only powder from the drugstore I LOVE... Elf Halo Glow Setting Powder. I love it for under eyes!! I have very dry, crapey eyes... it is possibly my new favorite from the Pat Mcgrath.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Yes, the ELF one is a good one for sure. I do have it and enjoy it. I haven't tried it under the eyes yet.

[@miriansavage1262]

What a great video Mandy. Going to try the Ere Perez powder. Question, on the Jane iredale pressed powder, mine looks cakey after applying, I use a brush for application. I only use moisturizer and sunscreen prior to using it. Should I wait like 20min after using sunscreen? What would your suggestion be?

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I would definitely wait 10-15 minutes after SPF if you can. And do you use any kind of hydration spray after? That also helps alot.

[@miriansavage1262]

@@MandyDavisMUA okay, I’ll try waiting then. I’m usually in a hurry in the mornings 😂. I don’t use any sprays after… I’ll have to try one thanks

Do you mean brands marketed as "clean"? jane iredale is one of my favorite brands and they fall under that category. You can search my channel and find many videos. Hope that helps!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

You are so welcome!

[@brendaf1033]

This was fantastic and I'd love to see more types of products. I love the idea of powder but have trouble finding one that works with my extremely dry skin. I don't set my face but I do like a finishing powder. I buff out my blush and bronzer. I tend to use a blurring powder like Chantecaille blur something or Dior powder no powder. I also like the Guerlain meteorites. Face powder can quickly turn me into the cryptkeeper! Right now I'm using by Terry Hydro powder under my eyes - just a teensy tiny bit which mostly works.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you Brenda! Have you tried the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural? I LOVE that one for dry skin.

[@brendaf1033]

@@MandyDavisMUA No but I put it on my list to try. Thank you!

[@laurenelliott5175]

Mandy, I saw the video where you mixed inika loose mineral in moisturizer, could you safely mix with sunscreen to help skip a step?

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Hey Lauren, I personally wouldn't mix it with spf. I have always been told that mixing anything with an spf can compromise the formula and the sun protection aspects.

[@jackiemira2841]

Loved this video! I have been trying the osmosis loose finishing powder and so far it’s been great for my dry mature skin 😊

Have you ever tried the Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Setting and Finishing Powder (the one with 4 colors)? So curious about this...

@@MandyDavisMUA Dominique cosmetics complexion collection primer and spray or too faced hangover primer and spray?

[@MandyDavisMUA]

The Benefit and MAC are very different products for sure so I can't say on that one. There is a time and place for both cream and powder shadows. I don't like the Too Faced mascara, so Lancome. And I haven't tried the Too Faced concealer so I can't say on that.

[@nancyr7440]

Yes, luv this type of video! Would you say the Hourglass buffing powder is good for mature, aging skin? I have to be so careful as so many powders settle into my fine lines.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Most definitely!! I think you would love it!

[@kmjdebay]

Thank you, Mandy. You are always so thorough and explain things so well. Do you use powder on the days that you do not wear foundation, but a tinted sunscreen (I seem to recall you saying that sometimes you do), and if so, of all these many, which kind would you use? I find the tinted sunscreens just do not dry down and transfer everywhere (I have allergies and blow my nose a lot, and wear glasses too. I am old and wrinkly, too. What are your thoughts?

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you Katherine! I sometimes do and sometimes don't. When I was at disney and only wore SPF, I didn't because I knew I would need to reapply the SPF. And then there are days like today. I wore my SPF, the jane powder foundation and mascara and that's it. So it just depends on the day. But you can definitely set them and I think you will find it helps with the longevity.

[@reneegrace7965]

Thank you just loved this! I feel I use more than the normal amount of powder daily to set my foundation. I can't stand any tackiness or transfer and I have yet to find a foundation then sets down completely. I wanted to ask what is your favorite brush for picking up setting powder? Thank you so much!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I have different faves depending on if I am using loose or pressed. But my overall fave is the La Mer Powder Brush. Which I know is super expensive. I plan on doing a follow up to this talking about and doing a demo using some of these.

[@kellyb6738]

What *clean* powder would you use under your eyes, Mandy? I’m 57 and have a lot of under eye wrinkles. I’ve tried Jane Iredale’s pressed and loose and they look great when first applied but seem to be worsening the wrinkles as the day goes.

The ilia one that I spoke of using under the eyes is clean

Shame that Lancôme powder has been discontinued, so sad.
