The sun powder is a must for the summer, but you still have to know how to apply it to take full advantage of its virtues…
Sun Powder instructions for use:
First, remember to keep a light hand on the compact (it’s always easier to add material than to remove it). Use a large brush to sweep the highlights of your face. Don’t forget to apply a little powder on your shoulders and your neckline to avoid marks.
To refine cheeks that are too round, you will need to apply the powder under your cheekbones to “hollow out” your cheeks.
In the case of a face that is a little too hard and square, you can simply powder the contour of your face to make it appear more rounded, focusing on the lower jawline to soften the face.

Dior ‘s powder is also one of the must-try sun powders, indeed its texture is really innovative, as it is filled with polyamide microbeads and emollient oils that give the skin an immediate tanned effect! It also has mineral pigments that beautify and matify the complexion (this product is truly one of the best for combination to oily skin).

Clinique offers us an ultra-light sun powder with mini golden particles that warm up the complexion and give it the glow of a very natural tan. It’s a really discreet sun powder, you can even apply it instead of your loose powder to set your makeup as the three tones (sunkissed, sunblushed, and sunswept) blend well with your skin color. If you were to buy only one powder for daily use in summer and winter, this is the ideal product, a must-have for your toiletry kit.
