Beauty Powders - What do you use them for? What's your opinion?

[kaexbabey]

so what exactly are beauty powders for?

i know you can use them as a blush if they show up, but if they don't do you just use them kind of like a setting powder? and if you do, then i wouldn't need to use blot afterwards right? but i'm sure i couldn't use a beauty powder to touch up or else my face will get pinkier and pinker hahah.

I use mine for highlighting! I have Shell Pearl and Sunsparkled Pearl. You can also put them on top of your blush to give a sheen to your cheeks!

so you can spend your money

i stay away from them because they don't show up on me but i do believe you can use them as blush, highlight and maybe even eyeshadow-give it a go and tell us (no show us!) how you make out!

I use them over my blush to give a highlight to my face. They are great for going out I think.

I have Flower Mist Dew BP, which I can wear on it's own for quite a soft look. Or as others have said it looks good over blush to add a little pretty sparkle. Depending on what shade you get, they can also make nice highlighters.

Definitely a good buy in my opinion - great multi use product!

Re: so what exactly are beauty powders for?

I have the new one from the Emanuel Ungaro collection. I'm an NC15, so it shows up well on my skin. I've used it as a blush alone for a light look, and as a highlight and to alter the colors of my blushes.

Sometimes I don't want to take the time to do my blush (I end up using three, to contour, and two blushes) so it takes awhile. The Beauty Powder gives a glow to my face when I don't want to wear a whole lot of makeup. I've also used a light dusting on the areas of my face the sun hits..forehead, chin, nose, cheeks..to give myself a slight glow.

They're not needed, but they're nice for a collection. I've used mine a few times and I really like it, but I don't think I'd invest in another one until that one runs out. I'm glad I have it, it was the only thing from the collection I liked, and I'd wanted one for awhile, so it works out.

Re: Beauty Powders - what are they for?

I think beauty powders are a bit softer than blusher, I tend to use them in the day for a soft and sweet look in the office or hospital!

Re: Beauty Powders - what are they for?

I have 3 of them; Sunsparked for hilighting, Shell and Softdew for blush. I'm looking for the pink one. I miss out on those from Barbie though and so far, I haven't found anything I like.

Well, but frankly speaking, they're not really on a need list. You can easily find something else that works similar to them.

Re: Beauty Powders - what are they for?

the website says that they bring a silky smooth wash of colour and luminous shimmer to eyes, cheeks and skin.

For me, BPs are great for no-makeup days!

MAC Beauty Powders..how do u use them?

Are Beauty Powders basically an all-over color? Are they less pigmented than MAC blushes? How/where do you apply them? Any recs for a cool toned, matte one? Thanks!

 

[nunu]

Re: MAC Beauty Powders..how do u use them?

These are used to highlight the face. So it can be used on top of blush as a highlight. You can also highlight down your nose, chin and forhead.
Yes they are less pigmented as MAC bushers. The beauty powder blushes are the equivelant to the BP's but it adds colour as well.

This should help

Re: MAC Beauty Powders..how do u use them?

I always thought the beauty powder was a waste but I tried the Hello Kitty - Pretty Baby and I love it -- I bought it and now use it almost every day.

Re: MAC Beauty Powders..how do u use them?

It depends of your skin tone, the way you apply it and the brush you use. Pretty Baby can be a quite bright blush on me (NC15-20) if apply it well the pigments in it kinda pop out. I use BPs all over the face for a healthy skin look too.
