Why Powder can be your enemy!

I recently just stumbled across this picture of the gorgeous Zooey Deschanel and I was really shocked to see yet another Hollywood star who has shown that powder can be your enemy if not used correctly. 

Dear, dear, dear not only is this shade way to light for her which attracts away from her gorgeous face but it has aged her significantly. 

It ages her by making her fine lines pop out rather then stay hidden, like they should be. Her pink blush is cute but I really think that by having a warmer colour powder would have not only make her appear healthier but also really brightened up her complexion. I know she is a fair skin sister but this shade is all wrong for her. 

This is why recently I have been in love with translucent powder (I will be doing a post on this soon!) which means whilst you spend time blending in your foundation and matching it to your skin tone the powder is like well see through so it just does what it should do which is set the foundation and making your makeup last longer!

What do you think? Have you ever been guilty of committing this sin? Have you ever tried Translucent powder?
