So, what’s the real answer? Honestly, you can do either, and the world won’t end. But if you want my two cents (and you’re still reading, so you kind of do): spray before powder. It gives you that airbrushed, “I woke up like this” look without the heavy feeling.
The only downside? You’ll feel like a mad scientist spritzing your face twice. But hey, if the price of looking glowy and smooth is a little extra mist, I’m willing to make that deal. Now go forth and spray—just remember to let it dry between steps, or you’ll look like a sad, shiny raindrop.
And if all else fails? Just use both. It’s 2026. We don’t gatekeep the good techniques anymore.
