Homemade Yellow Setting Powder

I love to shop my stash! I have been lemming Ben Nye's banana powder forever. I am reluctant to pay shipping. The advantage to using it, is it isn't as HARSH as white powder when the flashbulbs go off.

I got this bright idea to combine my Coastal Scents Silica Spheres with a couple of MAC Pigments from my collection. I used 1/3 cup of the silica spheres, and 1 tsp each of MAC Primary Yellow and Chrome Yellow Pigments.












I have yet to perfect the application process, but that is the fun of playing in makeup.

I used a sponge today. I will try a brush tomorrow. I neglected to dust off the excess powder before setting with spray. I still plan to purchase the BEN NYE Banana Powder. This experiment wasn't a total failure. I say that because it was a learning experience.

Always a clown, I never take myself so seriously that I can't post a BAD picture of myself. If I can help someone learn, then I've accomplished something.
I hope this was helpful to someone.

Do you use colored setting powders?

Blending Eyeshadow Over Bases

Have you ever had trouble blending eyeshadows over a base?

Try this

1. Apply primer to lid, Spread out. Give it a minute to set.
2. Using a blending brush, sweep translucent powder onto primer.
3. Apply shadows.
4. Blend colors.

The primer blocks the oil from seeping through to crease your shadow.
The invisible powder prevents the primer from gripping the shadow too much.
This hastens the blending process.

The Travel size Make Up For Ever HD Powder is the perfect size for this.
Find the mini in the best of Sephora MUFE set $49.
