English term

dusting motion

English to Spanish Other Cosmetics, Beauty
Hi, I need to translate this short sentence:
"Use a dusting motion to blend over skin. "

It refers to the way you apply powder on the apple of your cheeks using a brush. I don't know if it is sort of circular, or like tapping product on skin or like sweeping the brush over the face. I've seen lots of videos about applying makeup powder, and girls apply it in many different ways, but none of them uses the term "dusting motion" as they explain what they are doing. Please, makeup experts help!!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
