While this may not be a classic look, it is rather a makeup trick that is classic.  Applying powder over your foundation is something that has been around forever and in this day and age, it is a very important step to accomplish some of the very classic looks that I’ve listed below.

For instance, just a quick brush on of powder all over your face before you put on the rest of your makeup will buff away all of those tiny imperfections that you are constantly trying to hide.  Also, with all of the new technology coming out for makeup, applying powder onto your face after your foundation can actually help improve your skin.

Now, maybe you are one of the many people that have switched from regular foundation to Bare Minerals or something similar, that they are just strictly powder-based.  That is perfect!  You are not only buffing away the shine, but you are also keeping your skin fresh and young looking and that is a look that never goes out of style.  Keep it up ladies!
