Powder foundations and I have just never gotten along. To me, they're kind of like that friend-of-a-friend you only see once in a blue moon… and every time you do, you end up in a screaming match over some random topic while your mutual buddies look on, horrified. It's not personal, just preference. Dior, however, has just launched its Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder foundation ($40). After using it, I'm starting to feel an enemies-to-lovers plot twist coming on.
I apply Powder-No-Powder with the Backstage Face Brush, which is so soft that I started rubbing it all over my face the second I opened it for the first time. It's got a rounded triangular base with short, dense bristles coming out of one side. (A similar, more affordable alternative would be something like the Real Techniques Angled Kabuki Brush.) I swirl it around the pan with lots of pressure to load the brush up before swiping it all over my face — it doesn't require a lick of effort or expertise.
After trying Dior's, maybe my own relationship with powder foundations will change after all. I might not be done bickering with my metaphorical friend-of-a-friend for good — however, if we end up dating or married down the line… I won't be all that surprised.
