Makeup - translucent powder isn't just for Grandma

I don't know how many times I've gone to put powder on a clients face and they have freaked out because they think its only for the oldies. If your using a liquid, a mousse or a grease stick you need to put it on. Your eyeshadow is a powder base and most of the time so is your blush. If you put foundation on then put eyeshadow on it will grab to your skin and you can't blend it properly. If you dust on some powder first, then your eyeshadow and blush will glide on smoothly because they are both a type of powder.
