Hey beauties! 💗 Today, I’m diving into one of my must-do steps for a fresh, matte look—setting powder! Let’s be real, nobody wants cakey makeup, right? It took me ages to figure out how to use powder without ending up with that heavy look, so I’m sharing my go-to tips for a soft, natural finish.

First things first: grab a fluffy brush. Honestly, it makes such a huge difference because it picks up just the right amount of powder and spreads it evenly. I always tap off the extra—trust me, that’s the trick to avoiding buildup. Then, I gently sweep it over my T-zone, which is where I get oily. For my cheeks? I keep it suuuper light so my skin still looks like skin.

One little tip? Less is more! Start light, and you can always add if you need a bit more. Setting powder should help your makeup last and look smooth—not cover up your glow.

That’s it—easy and quick! Try it and let me know how it goes. Remember, perfect makeup is about what feels best for YOU. Stay glowing! ✨
