Some women still love the retro chic, matte look. But let’s take a more modern approach. The key is in the placement of satiny sheer, finely milled powder. This will give you a refined, elegant appearance without any of that old-school chalkiness.
After your applying primer, foundation, and concealer, dust loose powder lightly over your entire face for a satiny finish. Skip the highlighter. If you want a subtle bronze sheen, sweep on shimmerless bronzer.
If your skin becomes a bit oily throughout the day, use blotting papers first to soak up any shine; if necessary, lightly apply some pressed powder for a velvety soft finish.
