Is it ok to wear the finishing powder alone? Without putting any fondie? thanks...

Why not?!?

If all I needed in the way of a boost were my own blend of the various finishers, I'd definitely go for it! Karen has a pic on her site of her with only a finisher, lippie, & mascara on ~ & she looks great!

Funny story- back before SN was SN I had a software company, and decided to sell *just one* product just for fun- a sheer powder that you could just put on and look a little more pulled together, and it was Perfecting Powder. That was about 18 months ago and my husband still gives me grief about the "just one" product business plan (yes, I was very very naive- I was used to working in the software industry where a clean shirt and shoes that weren't slippers was the definition of "dressing up").

So yes- you can wear it all by itself- that's what it was designed for!

Hi Karen,
thanks. I'm really convinced...

finishing powder and glows are not the same? right?

Right - the finishing powders aren't pure matte, but they are more matte than the glows - though the glows really are more glowy than shiny.

So FP daytimes, and maybe if you wanted a bit more oomph at night you could dust some glow over your cheekbones and temples, and just a touch above the Cupid's bow of your lips.

Rhys...thanks for the clarification.... i've been wondering about them a few times and never seems to get what the difference..
and now, i'm dying to have some fun and go clubbing....

Thanks again... I'm such a novice/newbie when it comes to make up and everything...the only product i ever used was lip stuff and now, i'm trying to venture to other paths...
Thanks to SN...and to those answers my questions....

You're very welcome. I think one of the reasons I love playing with mineral makeup is that it's kind of like fingerpainting - it's fun. And you can kit yourself out royally with $100 . Not saying you need to spend that much, but if you went to a department store, that'd probably get you a foundation, one blush, and a lippie. Compare that to what you can get here for even half that, and how much nicer the SN stuff is.

Whee!
