How To Apply Jane Iredale Pressed Powder

Posted on Cybil SolynLeave a commentPosted in How To, Makeup, Video

Learning to apply Jane Iredale Pressed Powder is easy once you have the proper tools. I like to use the Flock Sponge since it gives me the most coverage with the best control. Apply with a pressing down, stippling technique. I use a taco shape on the sponge with my two fingers pressed into the back of the sponge for the best control.

To apply Disappear I like to use the Crease Brush with as little of the product on as possible. Just dab it onto the spot then remove excess. Then you want to feather and blend around the spot blending it out. Try not to mess with the spot itself at this point. So many people apply concealer then mess with the concealer and next thing you know the concealer is everywhere but WHERE you want the concealer to be! So watch out for that.

Once that’s done. Be sure to apply more powder on top and most important set with a Jane Iredale setting mist. The setting mist is MOST IMPORTANT! Without it the powder just falls of your face. So be sure to use it!

Less is More this Spring

With daylight saving time upon us, warmer weather is just on the horizon and it’s time to freshen up our sense of style. Spring is all about flaunting your natural beauty and putting a fresh-face forward. Follow the directions below to create your fresh, flawless look:

  • Prep skin for a smooth makeup application with a good facial primer like one of Jane Iredale’s Smooth Affair products, Absence, or Bioelements Stress Solution.
  • Instead of using a foundation, opt for a tinted moisturizer like Jane Iredale’s Dream Tint with an SPF of 15 or higher. Tinted moisturizers are fast to put on and give a dewy finish. If you use Jane Iredale you can even turn your pressed powder into a daily tinted moisturizer.
  • Create a soft wash of cheek color with a cream to powder blush. Use circular strokes starting from the apples of the cheeks, along the cheekbones and towards the temples. A cream to powder goes on creamy but sets as a soft powder making a glowing soft look.

Now that you’ve enhanced your natural beauty, it’s time to compliment your fresh-face look with a modern nude eye. The modern nude eye is all about tight liner and lush lashes. Create the modern nude eye by following the directions below.

  • Prep lids with an eye shadow primer and simply sweep a light, neutral shade of eye shadow all over lids.
  • Optional: Use eye liner and sweep along the upper lash line.
  • Finish the look by applying two coats of black or espresso mascara.

This fresh look will have you radiating with a natural glow. Continue to carry the natural look forward with either a nude lip gloss or a light pink lip color. Full of versatility, this look can be worn to the office, on a date or even to a pool party.
