Geri Barnes, owner and operator of the online shop LesBijouteries.com, started her career as a hairstylist, makeup artist, barber and fashion consultant. “I learned this little trick from a photographer working on photo shoot. You can not use an excessive amount however it works great on your face when you are under bright lights of a camera. The talcum in the powder absorbs the perspiration on the face and keeps down the shine, especially working with darker skin tones because the darker skin tones reflect more
under the cameras!” Barnes found that it did the trick better than most face powders for maintaining a more matte finish.
If you buy setting powder that’s too dark or purchased it after a sun-filled vacation, you can also lighten your loose powder by mixing in a touch of baby powder.
