Can I use translucent power before I contour?

In my makeup routine, I first put on my foundation, and later, after my eye makeup, I contour my face. However, when I put the clear powder on my nose, it smudges the contouring. Could I put the powder on my nose before I contour?

Yes but then you wouldn't be setting the contour

Have you tried patting the powder on where you have contoured instead of a sweepi.g motion? if you havent try patting the powder over your nose to see if that will help set it rather than smudge it.

I agree with Brianna. Though, if it's still smudging after patting it then you should just contour after applying the powder :)

I would try patting the powder on the contour like Brianna said

Yes as long as it's before a powder contour no cream contouring 😊

As long as it's a powder, you should be fine! Always use creams and liquids first, then powder - never powder before liquids/creams!
