How to Build Longwear Without Heavy Powder
Heavy powder absorbs oil initially but disrupts makeup films as skin moves. This causes cracking, patchiness, and separation.
Pressing thin layers of foundation and allowing them to set naturally creates a stronger film than powder stacking. Powder should finish — not correct — the base.
Controlled application outperforms heavy setting.
