Well this is a fun gif!

It’s very funny The Beauty Department post this today because I dropped my compact this morning and broke it!  So frustrating when that happens.  

If you’ve applied to much powder and your face looks very matte spritz your face with a toner or water then pat dry.  This will help achieve a more dewy look.

Collect orange peels, dry them out, then crush them into a powder. Use this powder when you shower to give your skin a nice glow.

Using a sponge instead of a puff to apply pressed powders will give you a heavier coverage.

To go along with my 365 tip yesterday here is a great Dry Shampoo / Hair Powder to try!  
Shampowder Dry Shampoo by Buttercream Cosmetics - $16
Shampowder dry shampoo allows you to have freedom between washings and will revive, volumize and deodorize your hair. By absorbing the oils that weigh down unwashed hair - lifeless hair is transformed into full, more manageable hair while the pigmented powder blends seamlessly, disguising the fact that you skipped a washing. The lightly vanilla scented powder is available in THREE shades. To apply, dab - dab - dab the specially designed all-in-one applicator brush to generously apply powder directly to your hairline and scalp.
