Loose Powder?

Does anyone else have problems with the podwer ending up all over the place? I use a Boots 17 loose powder and I tip some of the powder into the lid and then use dip the brush in to that but still end up with it everywhere. As the poder ony comes out of small holes like a sieve I can't see that tipping thw podwer on the brush would make any difference at all. Am I doing something wrong?Loose Powder?
I would suggest buying the compact powder (same brand and color) instead and use a Kabuki brush to apply it rather than the powder puff/sponge applicator it comes with. Not messy at all.





Also, you can buy the brushes with the built in powder. Arbonne's is really great.Loose Powder?
I had this problem so I now use the brushes with the built in powder, I use bourjois, its good.





Another suggestion would be to use bronzing pearls and not the powder, avons is good.
nope. but after you rub some powder onto the brush, tap the brush onto the side of the lid to get the excess off. it will prevent that powder from getting everywhere when youre applying it. and if you tap it over the lid.. then the loose powder will go back into the lid and it wont make a mess.
try after u put ur powder inthe lid then tapin ur brush a little this will help..
no your dont doing anything wrong loose powder is just genrally messy!! thats y i use compact!!! saves the hassle from getting it all over your clothes etc!!! plus it last longer!!
I don't think you're doing anything wrong, I had the same problem. There was always a film all over the sink and my cat after I used the stuff. I just stick with pressed powder now. It is only messy if you drop it. =)
