Go With the Grain When You apply Powder (and Foundation)

Facial hair.

Unless you don’t mind sitting in front of the computer for the next four hours, let’s not even go there…

OK, let’s go there anyway.

In my years on the road to Mrs. Chewbacca-ville (it’s been a good ride!), I’ve made a few fur-related observations, like that it helps to choose the grain when applying face powder or foundation.

Whenever I apply powder or foundation with a brush, I always apply in the same direction that the hair on my face naturally grows, instead of brushing against the grain and literally lifting the hairs up to make them stand at attention.

Sure, sweeping a big ol’ powder brush willy-nilly all over my face feels great, and it’s fun, especially when I sweep in substantial circles (SO FUN!), but it also exacerbates the facial fur situation — i.e., it makes the hairs look much more obvious.

For the hirsute ladies and gents among us, choose the grain next time you apply powder or foundation! You’ll see a difference.
