Yes, setting powder can be used in conjunction with eyeshadow application, specifically as a technique to manage fallout under the eyes. While the reference does not discuss applying setting powder directly on top of eyeshadow on the eyelid to set it, it clearly supports using it during the eyeshadow process to protect the skin.
Using Setting Powder During Eyeshadow Application
According to the provided reference, a key way to use setting powder while applying eye makeup, including eyeshadow, is to place it under the eyes.
All you need is our loose translucent setting powder, a powder brush, and your favorite eye makeup. It's important to use a loose setting powder here because it serves two purposes: one, it's setting your undereye makeup, and two, its catching excess eyeshadow fallout, too.
Why Use Setting Powder Under the Eyes for Eyeshadow?
Using a loose setting powder under the eyes serves a practical purpose during eyeshadow application:
- Catching Fallout: Eyeshadows, especially shimmery or darker shades, can sometimes have "fallout" – small particles that drop onto the skin during application. Loose setting powder placed under the eye acts as a barrier to catch this fallout.
- Protecting Undereye Makeup: If you've already applied your foundation and concealer, this layer of setting powder helps protect that base from being disturbed or stained by eyeshadow fallout.
- Easy Cleanup: Once your eyeshadow application is complete, you can simply sweep away the layer of setting powder and the fallen eyeshadow particles along with it, leaving your undereye area clean.
How to Use Setting Powder for Fallout
- Apply Base Makeup: Complete your foundation and concealer routine.
- Apply Powder: Take a powder brush and pick up some loose translucent setting powder.
- Generously Apply: Apply a generous layer of the loose powder under your eyes, on top of your undereye concealer. You can also apply it to your cheekbone area.
- Apply Eyeshadow: Proceed with applying your eyeshadow as usual. Any fallout will land on the powder layer.
- Sweep Away: Once your eye makeup is finished, gently sweep away the loose powder (and the caught fallout) with a clean brush.
This technique ensures your base makeup stays pristine while you create your eye look.
Using setting powder in this manner is a popular technique among makeup enthusiasts for achieving a clean, polished finish.
