Loose powder sits on top of skin?

I don't use much make-up, just eyeliner and mascara for my eyes, then concealer. After I'm done with that, I use a little loose powder all over my face. But, it just seems to sit on top of my skin rather than blending; especially on my forehead and under my eyes (dark circles). Why is this? What can I do?

Loose powder sits on top of skin?
If it's really noticeable, you might have the wrong shade of powder. If it matches your skin really well, you won't really see it much even if it is sitting on top of your skin. Since it is powder, it usually doesn't actually blend into your skin like a liquid makeup can. Just use a light dusting of it to take the shine off your skin, and give your skin an even tone ~ but don't expect it to cover up blemishes or dark circles. I do like wearing powder without foundation because I think it looks a lot fresher and more natural than foundation plus powder. Hope this helped!
Reply:powder can be chalky it is meant to used ontop of foundation. also u put ur powder on first before you put on anything else, u might be using the wrong shade and not applying it right.
Reply:Do you use a brush or a puff? To me, brushes leave a more natural, less cakey finish then the puffs do. Have you tried a different brand of powder? Or try blotting the non-absorbent powder using another brush/tissue/sponge?
