4. **Apply Powder Evenly**: Lightly dust the powder over your face, focusing on areas that tend to get oily or where you’ve applied concealer.

5. **Blend Thoroughly**: Make sure the powder blends seamlessly with your foundation to avoid a cakey appearance. 

6. **Avoid Over-Application**: Apply a thin layer to prevent the powder from settling into fine lines or making your skin look dry.
