No matter what type of liquid makeup you use, ensure you have a light hand with this step. 

“Just make sure that there isn’t too much product (e.g., foundation, concealer) under the powder because too much product will sit into fine lines and make them even more prominent if you’re not careful,” Gray explains. 

Remember that you can build up your foundation and concealer should you need more coverage, but it’s much more difficult to remove the excess product once it hits the skin. As a general rule of thumb: Less is more, so start small.
