Makeup tips: applying pressed powder

It's important to apply make-up correctly in order to look your best. Follow these valuable instructions and learn how to properly apply pressed powder.
  • Pressed powder is a must for makeup wearers. It helps hide blemishes and control shine on extremely smooth areas of the face, such as the nose. It also helps keep oily skin in check. Pressed powder adds a finished appearance to the face, and it gives the skin a more even tone.
  • There are pressed powders available for oily skin as well as for sensitive skin. These products do a superb job of reducing shine caused by excessive oil, and they are gentle on the skin. Unscented pressed powder is available for those who are sensitive to fragrance. Pressed powder is available for every skin type and every skin tone.
  • Before applying pressed powder to the face, it's important to pick the proper shade for your individual skin tone. Translucent pressed powder is suitable for any skin tone since it is basically clear. If you don't want to add color to your face, and only want to control shine, this is the best option for you. Color names vary according to brand, but they range from extremely light shades to extremely dark shades. Try your best to match the color to your unique skin tone. Samples are often available to help you find the shade of pressed powder that's right for you.
  • Your skin tone may vary depending on the season. If you are tan during summer months, you will of course use a darker shade at that time. Keep a few different shades of pressed powder on hand so you can properly match your skin tone in summer, winter, spring, and fall. If you spend any time at all outdoors, your skin tone will certainly change with the seasons.
  • If you want to give your face a sculpted appearance, there are ways to apply pressed powder that will create various illusions. Minimize the appearance of a double chin by using a darker tone just under the jaw line. The artificial shadow created by the pressed powder will help to minimize the appearance of extra weight around the face.
  • You can make cheekbones appear more prominent without the aide of colored blush. Choose a shade of pressed powder that's one shade darker than your normal skin tone. Apply the pressed powder just below the cheekbones. Don't apply the powder past the pupil of each eye. Apply it just below the check bone under the center of each eye, and over to the hairline. Follow the contour of the cheekbones for proper placement. The use of pressed powder instead of blush gives the face a more natural appearance.
  • If your nose is wider than desired, try applying pressed powder that is one shade darker than your normal skin tone along the sides of the nose. Blend the edges well so the powder looks as natural as possible. Apply pressed powder that matches your skin tone to the rest of the nose. Don't over do it. You don't want to end up looking like a powdered donut!
  • It's a good idea to keep extra applicators on hand. After a while they will begin absorbing oils from the skin, and they will need to be replaced. If your applicator begins to look dirty or starts to tear, it's time for a new one. Pressed powder applicators are typically made of smooth terry cloth material, cotton, and polyester. Chances are you will go through at least two applicator pads before the pressed powder is used up.
  • Choosing the right pressed powder and applying it correctly will make the difference between looking naturally beautiful and looking unnaturally made-up. Practice makes perfect, and you may have to try a few different products before finding those that are just right for you.

    Repair large holes in your canoes

    Repair large holes in your canoes

    learn how to repair holes in your canoe! Tips for fixing the three types, fiberglass, foam sandwich and aluminum hulls.
  • Fiberglass canoe hulls are handmade and consist of several layers of woven glass fiber cloth bonded together with polyester or epoxy resin. The color is often contained in an outer gelcoat, but both the interior and exterior may be painted with enamel. Protect the finish with an annual waxing, using a hard, automotive paste wax. Shallow scratches may be filled by brushing on additional gelcoat obtained from the canoe manufacturer and buffing lightly.
  • Fiberglass tends to fade when exposed to sunlight, and the new gelcoat may not be a perfect color match, but the repaired area will also fade and become invisible, given time.
  • Deep scratches may have to be first filled with resin. If large areas of the hull are scratched from repeated beaching or contact with the stream bottom, it is less expensive to paint the entire canoe with a quart of enamel than to coat the bottom of the canoe with gelcoat. Severe impact damage, whether it includes holes or not, weakens the hull fibers. Cut out the entire affected area and rebuild it with glass cloth and resin, sold in kits. Do not work in temperatures below 60 degrees Farenheit.
  • Holes 2 inches in diameter can be fixed with auto patch kits. One brand cures in sunlight. Cut away damage. Apply patch larger than hole, inside hull. When inside patch cures, cut another to fit hole exactly and apply from outside of hull. Add more patches to match hull thickness. Let each cure before adding next.
  • Use Number 80 sandpaper to feather edges of hardened patch into canoe's surface. Apply auto filler. Finish as you would a car repair. Apply enamel or gelcoat.
  • Foam sandwich hulls have a core of buoyant, closed-cell foam material surrounded on both sides by several layers of plastic. The material absorbs impact well, and small dents that do not show on the inside of the canoe tend to work themselves out in time simply by using the canoe.
  • To fix a hole, buy a repair kit from the canoe maker that includes flexible resin and cloth. Use the kit as you would fiberglass. Patch a canoe from the inside, a kayak from the outside. Let cure, sand and paint.
  • Holes near of below the waterline of an aluminum boat should be covered with a watertight fiberglass patch. A riveted metal patch will leak unless it is backed up by a thicker rubber gasket. Some sheet aluminum sold in hardware stores will deteriorate rapidly if exposed to salt water or air. Dents can be hammered out of an aluminum hull in the same way as dents in a car fender, but the metal will get brittle if it is stretched or overheated. Patch holes above the waterline with aluminum tape. Sand the corrosion around the hole. Remove grease with rubbing alcohol and apply tape to dry surface with a cloth pad, stripping off the backing as you go.
  • To prevent any holes in your canoe in the future, make sure your canoe is free from salt water after use, and store covered in the garage.
