English term or phrase: Pat the powder so that you don’t disturb the skin
POWDER
Powder up.
Set everything in place with the right powder. Focus on the center of the forehead, the bridge of the nose and the chin. Pat the powder on instead of brushing so that you don’t disturb the skin.

Mi trad:
POLVOS
Ponte polvos
Fija todo en su lugar con los polvos adecuados. Concéntrate en el centro de la frente, el puente de la nariz y la barbilla. Aplica los polvos con ligeros golpecitos en vez de brocha para no alterar a la piel.
