Technique

Powder asks you to be precise with a brush you probably bought for something else. Cream asks you to have fingers, and that is most of the story.

Leaving your hair alone is the one instruction everybody follows and almost nobody follows correctly, because the shape is set in the first twenty minutes.

The twelve-piece set is a merchandising format, not a kit. Almost everything you do with makeup is done with a dense flat brush and a tapered fluffy one.
