To mattify foundation, add a small amount directly into it. Mix lightly with your foundation brush before applying. The mattifying effect is controlled by how much powder is added. Start with a little and guild as needed.
Glass Skin Water Powder can be applied before applying foundation. It may also be applied after makeup. The mattifying effect is noticeably increased when it is applied after makeup. Spot apply it through the day to mattify break-though oily areas without build-up. When applying after makeup, lightly pat it onto the skin so the finish isn’t disturbed.
