How to apply setting powder to ‘dry skin’ according to an expert

How to apply setting powder to ‘dry skin’ according to an expert

Published by skeptic

Your skin type should determine the beauty products you use. From skincare to makeup, choosing the right formulas can make or break the look, feel and health of your skin. Those with oily skin should stick to oil-free foundations, lightweight moisturisers and mattifying primers to avoid congestion or pimples, but when it comes to dry or dehydrated skin, the more moisture and hydration, the better. Ceramide-rich moisturisers and glycerin-based serums and foundations will be your best friend. But, what about setting powders? You might be reading this thinking dry skin and powder? Never the twain shall meet. But times have changed and formulas are more sophisticated. Setting powders are now infused with hydrating skincare ingredients so you’re able to set your base and make it last without turning your skin dusty. According to celebrity makeup artist Valeria Ferreira, whose clients include Anya Taylor-Joy, Cara Delevingne and Lily James, “Powders are very helpful… Soft-focus finishing powders applied with a small blending brush help to create a semi-matte finish and give your base longevity.” © GettyAnya Taylor-Joy …

Judge in Trump’s civil fraud case sent envelope with white powder

Published by skeptic

The New York judge who recently hit former president Donald Trump with a $355 million ruling in his civil fraud business trial was sent an envelope containing white powder, a source close to the situation told NBC. The source shared that neither Judge Arthur Engoron nor his staff were exposed to the substance, which was intercepted by a court officer during the daily pre-screening process for the judge’s mail. The threat marks the latest in a string of targeted attacks. A bomb threat was reported at the judge’s Long Island home last month, hours before closing arguments in Trump’s trial. Following the start of the trial last year, Engoron and his law clerk faced a barrage of threats after the ex-president publicly slammed them on the internet. In the aftermath of those threats, court officials began working with “the FBI and Homeland Security to devise the appropriate security measures that would be implemented in order to protect the judge, his chambers staff, and those closely associated around him, including his family,” as NBC noted.

Authorities in Palm Beach County responded to the Florida home of Donald Trump Jr. on Monday after he was sent an envelope containing a death threat and white powder. The response by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was first reported by the Daily Beast. A spokesperson for the former president’s son confirmed the incident to NBC News. The spokesperson said that test results to identify the white substance were inconclusive, but that officials on the scene did not believe it was deadly. When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue referred NBC News to the U.S. Secret Service. The Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night. In an interview with the Daily Caller, Trump Jr. said that the envelope was “the second white powder substance envelope that’s been mailed” to him. “It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,” Donald Trump Jr. told the paper. “It doesn’t matter what your politics are, this type of crap is unacceptable.” Monday’s …

Should you use protein powder before or after a workout? Here’s what a sports nutritionist says

Published by skeptic

Everybody agrees that you need protein to build muscle, but there’s still some debate on when you should consume it.  Sports nutritionist Roo Whelan says that the timing is actually less important than making sure you consume adequate amounts. Most studies also suggest that your muscle gains aren’t affected by when you eat your protein-filled snack.  That doesn’t mean there aren’t any benefits to filling up on protein before or after your gym session. Here’s how it can affect your body.  Roo Whelan Social Links Navigation Sports nutritionist Roo Whelan spent over half a decade training as a professional athlete for Great Britain. He has a BSc in Sport Science and MSc in Applied Sports Nutrition and currently works as a trainer and nutritionist at Virgin Active.  Benefits of protein before a workout The main benefit of eating protein before a workout is that it could improve your performance. According to Whelan, downing a shake before you exercise can stabilize blood sugar and provide sustained energy levels. Consuming protein before you exercise will also ensure …

Powder, an AI clipping tool for gaming, can detect when a creator yells during a stream

Published by skeptic

Powder, AI-powered clipping software that takes highlights from gaming streams and turns them into short-form videos, will soon be able to detect shouting for gamers to create even better montages. The platform is also working on speech-to-text software so creators can get a transcript of their entire stream and search for keywords. Powder has developed over 40 proprietary game-specific AI models, including audio analysis and laughter detection, as well as standalone models for popular titles like Fortnite, Valorant, Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Rocket League, Fall Guys, Elden Ring and Among Us. The company is also launching a model for Counter-Strike 2. All the models work similarly; the AI scans the stream recordings – whether from Twitch, YouTube or an MP4 file — and finds spikes in activity, including victories, assists, kills and other performance-based in-game moments. Powder takes these highlights and creates short montages for creators to upload to social media.
